Colorado Springs: Proud to Be One of America's Gayest Cities

Colorado Springs, Colo. was named one of the nation's gayest cities by The Advocate and locals are tickled pink.

From high-end stores to roller derby leagues to a plethora of LGBT bars and clubs, Colorado Springs has much to offer to queer travelers. When The Advocate (a sister publication to Out Traveler) recently named Colorado Springs the nation's 13th gayest city, its local visitor's bureau was very happy, according to a local report.
