Gay Guide of CITY

Description of City

Houston’s male lover community is located largely in the Montrose area. Here you’ll find many shopping, dining and cruising opportunities. The Galleria on the West Side, minutes from Montrose, is a great one-stop shopping destination, with 375 stores, restaurants, and entertainment.

The lgbtq+ scene

Houston is a welcoming place where it’s virtually doomed to remain a stranger for elongated. The small-town feeling contrasts with this big city’s soaring skyline, world-class arts, and cuisine that’s as sophisticated and varied as you’ll find anywhere. The bar scene is varied too, from clubs catering to cowboys, leather guys, bears, and Latinos, to upscale lounges in the design of New York or LA, plus retro-music and alternative/arts venues.

Getting around

A ride is a must for getting around Houston’s sprawl. But if driving, observe the posted speed limits. Police here are vigilant. Metro has a fleet of buses and a rail network of three lines, red, green and purple, with 44 stations for getting around the city.

Social Services

Our team of state-licensed clinicians, masters-level therapists, skilled educators, and dedicated volunteers work together to create healthier futures for our community.

Community Center

As the cultural hub of Houston’s LGBTQ community, the Center is home to dozens of LGBTQ-affirming social and civic organizations, and offers affordable rental space for meetings and events.

Seniors

The Montrose Center comprehensively supports seniors, regardless of their gender persona or sexual orientation, through the Law Harrington Senior Living Center and the Seniors Preparing for Rainbow Years (SPRY) program.

Youth

Hatch Youth provides a safe and affirming environment where youth can socialize, make new friends, and participate in educational and creative activities to help youth in and around Houston not just remain, but thrive.
