Yes, Doctor J there is a Girth and Mirth chapter in Atlanta. There are Girth and Mirth chapters all over the US and the world. However, in places that are smaller the club for larger men usually gets thrown together with whatever bear group is in the area.
HUGS!

Gay Des Moines is located in the historical part of Downtown, what we tend to call “SoDo” (in quotations because I see it referred to this way in print, but I’ve never actually heard anyone say “SoDo”.)
The historical neighborhoods, South of Grand, Sherman Hill and River Bend, all in Des Moines Proper have a higher population of gays than any of the suburbs.

Hmmm… KC has got a huge gay population… All over the place. Lots of my friends at UMKC come from St. Louis, and when they got here, none of them understood what the rainbow stickers on the bumpers and windows meant, or why those guys had on a black shirt with a huge pink triangle…

We are the children of the Eighties. We are not the first “lost generation” nor today’s lost generation; in fact, we think we know just where we stand - or are discovering it as we speak.

Montrose, where I’ve lived all of my adult life save for the six years spent in Austin, was really more of the Greenwich Village of Houston. It’s where the gay bars are, but it’s also where the “alternative” music venues and the pool halls and the artists and the mom’n’pop shops are. But it’s quickly changing into the place where the townhomes are.
Montrose, I’ll miss ye…
You don’t say. I was startled to find when I was in Paris, that very near the village in Paris (near the Marais) is a street named Rue des Mauvais Garçons. Unfortunately, it seems to commemorate some assassins. Oh well…
La universidad de Cincinnati, Clifton o Burnet Woods. Puedes ver a chicos * guapos *? No se. Digame.

Muy bien, acabo de pasar el tarde con un chico guapo. Y si visito esas ciudades, por supuesto voy a describir lo que pasa.
In Seattle, it’s up around Broadway, Queen Anne and Capitol Hill
Magnificent to behold - Greatly to be praised.
I live in the south San Francisco Bay area. Obviously, everybody “knows” that San Francisco itself is one big gay town (not true, but we like to project that image 
); however, the skewing toward greater same-sex preference than the national average extends far south of the San Francisco peninsula. F’rinstance, Santa Clara’s about 70 miles south of San Francisco, and at one place I worked in Santa Clara 5 years ago, I swear we heteros were in the minority. (This was also where I met the hermaphrodite-who-didn’t-initially-tell-me-she-was-a-hermaphrodite whom I dated for a few months, before I got fed up with her standing me up for our dates.)

Hm, I go to school in Santa Cruz, which is a little further southwest than the aforementioned Santa Clara, and it’s also a pretty gay-friendly town. Of course, SC is the world’s most liberal small city (you think I’m joking, but I’m really not), and there are gay people everywhere, especially lesbians. There are TONS of lesbians. SC is, incidentally, the first city in the US to elect an openly gay mayor, and the county building flag pole has three flags: the US flag, the CA flag and the rainbow flag.
Up in SF, people say that the Castro is the gay center (and it is, 90% gay), but most of those are men. Lesbians tend to live in the Mission, or in Oakland.
This is a very odd topic, if I may say so myself. Can I assume that the OP is planning on doing some traveling soon?

In downtown Knoxville, Gay Street is the main drag.
Homosexual people are everywhere, though.
No, just curious.

beatle & sealemon:
I think you’re both right. Even though Montrose is kind of a “Greenwich Village” for Houston, it is also very known for lots of gays. And freaks. I know this because everytime I tell someone that I hung out in Montrose over the weekend, they crook an eye and ask me why I was hanging out with the “freaks and fags.”
FTR, I love the entire Montrose/Westheimer/River Oaks/Memorial area. (OK, I love the whole city!)

Why sex is better than religion: You can scream “Oh, God” during sex, but just try saying “Oh, f***” in church!
