We’re home to the largest contiguous arts district in the U.S. The cultural opportunities in Dallas are abundant for LGBTQ+ people outside the gayborhood, especially in the arts. Named the “Best Gayborhood” by OUT Magazine in 2014, the district also boasts the headquarters of the North Texas LGBT Chamber of Commerce, an organization whose mission is to foster an inclusive business community. It’s the home to multiple bars, clubs, retailers, restaurants, and other gathering places, including The Round-Up Saloon (one of the top LGBTQ+ country-western bars in the world) and Sue Ellen’s (Texas’ oldest lesbian bar and one of the few remaining in the nation). Though queer people have settled all across the North Texas region, the Oak Lawn/Cedar Springs neighborhood continues to be the entertainment, business, and residential epicenter for LGBTQ+ locals and a top visitor attraction. The greater Dallas metro area has the largest number of LGBTQ+ people in Texas (211,000) and the sixth-largest in the United States. The Dallas LGBTQ+ community thrives as one of the largest in the nation.
