Line 30:
 
== Standup Comedy ==
* Comedian Dat Phan has a bit about living in a [[Gayborhood]], because it was a nice place, affordable, relatively safe, and he didn't realize until after he moved in. As of his first [[Comedy Central]] special, his mother (who [[Running Gag|thinks that earrings mean guys are either gay or in a gang, depending on the ear]]) still hadn't realized that he was gay-adjacent.
 
 
Line 38:
*** A bit of a stealth joke is the street layout. None of the streets in Queens is completely straight, it's all curves and turns.
* Developers for ''[[World of Warcraft]]: The Burning Crusade'' reputedly based the Blood Elf capital Silvermoon City on West Hollywood.
* In a similar vein, a few [[MMORPG|MMORPGs]]s have unofficial "gay" servers, where GLBT players are invited to avoid the annoying homophobic comments one comes across every five seconds in other servers. Woe be upon the player who says "That's fucking gay" on [[World of Warcraft|Proudmoore]] or [[City of Heroes|Victory]].
* It's possible to craft one of these in [[The Sims|The Sims 2 and 3]], though without the use of mods and hacks to eliminate the desired opposing gender it only works so much.
 
Line 71:
* Chicago has Boystown, with Halsted St. as the focal point.
* The area around Nollendorfplatz in Berlin.
* The stereotype is that Brighton is the [[Gayborhood]] for the whole of the UK - in reality it has one of its own in Kemptown.
* Manchester's Canal Street, the setting of the UK ''[[Queer as Folk]]''.
* Hebden Bridge is a small village in [[Oop North|Yorkshire]] that gets the same schtick as Brighton for its large LGBT population.
