New York City

The most significant and biggest LGBTQ population in the world resides in New York City. The city has "one of the largest, loudest, and most powerful LGBT communities in the world", according to Brian Silverman, the author of Frommer's New York City from $90 a Day, and "Gay and lesbian culture is as much a part of New York's basic identity as yellow cabs, high-rise buildings, and Broadway theatre". The fabulosity of Gay New York is unmatched on Earth, and gay culture permeates every nook and cranny of the five boroughs, according to LGBT travel book Queer in the World.

In New York, you may host Saturday Night Live if you claim to be homosexual. The gayest action you can take is this. Right now, we're essentially living in an Andy Warhol fever dream". Mayor of New York City Eric Adams launched a billboard campaign in 2022 to entice Floridians to move to New York, which has a substantially more accepting atmosphere for LGBTQ+ citizens.

By a considerable margin, New York City's LGBT community is the nation's biggest self-identifying community of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender people. The 1969 Stonewall riots in Greenwich Village are largely regarded as the beginning of the contemporary gay rights movement. The greatest transgender community in the US, estimated at 50,000 in 2018, is centered in Manhattan and Queens, and there are an estimated 756,000 LGBTQ+ people living in the New York metropolitan region, the most in the US.
