Welcome to the City of Good Neighbors
Buffalo is a welcoming place from the moment you step foot here, with an energetic LGBTQ community and pride flags hanging from homes and businesses across the city year-round. The Queen City doesn’t just welcome LGBTQ+ individuals – we embrace them.
Our LGBTQ community has found a safe and vibrant home in our diverse city. Not only do we honor Pride month with a huge festival and activities throughout June, but we also believe in celebrating and supporting our LGBTQ community all year long with educational and nurturing gatherings, thrilling dance parties and other fun monthly events like Gay Bingo and Queer Dodgeball. From our many LGBTQ bars and LGBTQ-owned businesses to our rich history and thriving arts and music scene, read more below to discover how this progressive city with a small-town vibe is the perfect place for people of all identities.
