Gay Portland (OR)

Portland is one of America's most eccentric and creative cities, where independent bookshops, craft breweries, and food cart pods around every corner reflect a fiercely local culture that lives up to its quirky reputation. The city sits between stunning Pacific Northwest nature and a vibrant urban scene, with easy access to Mount Hood, the Columbia River Gorge, and some of the best hiking in the country just a short drive away.

Portland has a thriving LGBTQ+ scene centered around the bars and clubs of the Capitol Hill area.
