LGBT culture in Vancouver
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vancouver's (British Columbia, Canada) LGBT community is centered on Davie Village. Historically, LGBT people have also gathered in the Chinatown and Gastown neighborhoods. Former establishments include Dino's Turkish Baths, a gay bathhouse on Hastings, and the city's first drag bar, BJ's, on Pender Street.[1]
