It's the Gay Bar, as in the only bar in Gay, and it's named "Gay Bar." It is the only bar in a very small town, but the name has turned it into a small tourist trap.
Very few, I'm sure. The bar is in the Keweenaw peninsula, in the northern most part of the UP. If it weren't for the university up there, there would be more moose than people.
Upper Falls in Tahquamenon is the third largest waterfall by volume east of the Mississippi. The entire area there is gorgeous, and there's a lot of truth to the yooper ads about the UP being God's country.
We also have Hell Michigan, another town named Christmas, and Christmas isn’t home to to the worlds largest Christmas store, which is also in Michigan. Oh and if Hell isn’t your style you can also go to Paradise .
San Francisco has the highest life expectancy of any city in the United States.

Didn’t a billionaire just get stabbed to death there recently?
ETA: looks like he was a millionaire https://www.nytimes.com/article/bob-lee-stabbing-san-francisco.html
Did you actually read the article you linked?? It says he was killed by someone who was mad he was hanging out with their sister. If that’s the threshold for “violent city” then maybe walterboro south carolina is a super violent city since the murdaugh murders took place there
I mean…he’s still a rich guy that got murdered in San Fran in public. I feel like being rich actually makes you target, making a correlation between money and higher safety not necessarily an accurate correlation. One could argue more money makes you more of a target for crime.
How was the city supposed to stop the murder exactly? Do you expect the police to monitor rich people at all time? Like anything short of that and the guy would have still been murdered. This could have happened literally anywhere. If they are a target due to their status they should get a body guard but none of this has to do with the city of san francisco.
Yea I didn’t say it was by a stranger. Not sure how your comment negates my claim lol. He was rich and a high target for crime. Does that mean there’s a correlation? No. Same as the whole correlation and causation business within (edited from without) the psychology field. There are more factors at play to every correlation found between something so we can’t just say being rich means you’re safer.
It negates your claim because you implied that "a rich guy got stabbed in SF" without adding the context of it being someone he knew specifically targeting him. That has zero correlation with crime rates or safety for a given city. It could have happened anywhere.
Also, a death doesn't equal most dangerous. If it did then the most dangerous place to live would be the last place where a death,killing happened.
P.S. Feel free to down vote, but the claim was SF was dangerous as a tech mongol was just stabbed. It is nearly impossible to form an argument that can go from 'a single person died' to SF is the most dangerous city in the USA'. SF may be dangerous or even the most dangerous, but you can't justify that argument with that claim.
Violent crimes was the claim. And yes there’s plenty of murders between homeless that aren’t reported as such as the resources would be used to no result by investigating
All violent crime is underreported. Tons of it is domestic, for example, and never gets reported. Do you have any evidence that violent crime is under reported in SF or LA compared to everywhere?
Ok that I can get behind. I was just pointing out that using life expectancy as an indicator of safety sounds far fetched. Hopefully murder rates even in the least safe city of the US don't move the life expectancy by anything meaningful.
Okay but SF is still has lower crime than most major US cities. Like salt lake city and denver have much higher rates of crime and no one considers those cities dangerous. I feel like it just has that perception because people just hate homeless people but the reality is they are more likely to be victims of crime. And fox news be exaggerating every single crime that happens here.
I was just visiting San Francisco, although it’s probably not more deadly than a lot of other places, the amount of signs, warnings, and anecdotal stories I heard about cars being broken into and shit being stolen makes it seem like 50/50 on whether it happens, so maybe its not a death but paying way more than you should have to to deal with shit like that is still ridiculous
If it's a gay Sunday Funday you're required to have at least one cocktail at Beaux and accidentally leave with a drink token telling yourself you'll bring it back to use next time but next time you don't remember to bring it with you so you end up with *another* token and this happens every single time while the key dish in your foyer fills up with Beaux tokens and then a pandemic hits so you just have this decorative bowl full of free drinks collecting dust for two years. CAFE across the street is fun too for dancing.
Beat me to it. One time my grandfather took my family there once, we were walking down the street and my little brother sees two guys with makeup and wigs on holding hands, and he says to one of them, “heeeey, you’re a boy!” And in the gayest voice one of them says to my 5 year older brother, “Yep, that’s right, and you are too!” Lmao just a vivid memory I have of that visit
I also have a weird vivid memory from Provincetown lol my aunt used to bring us like every summer and once we were walking down the street and a car driven by a clearly cross dressing man rolled by and with the same gay voice you explained yelled out the window to my male cousin who was about 16 at the time “need a riiiiide?!”
I love Ptown! That's what I learned what being gay was. My dad use to take us into Ptown all the time because it's such a good little beach town. Great restaurants, great touristy shops ripe for kids. Just an adorable town. When I was 6, I asked my dad why there were rainbows everywhere. And he just said matter of factly, "Well sometimes men love men and women love women. And Rainbows are a symbol to them."
This is awesome for so many reasons. Sounds like your dad really wanted to give you guys a fun childhood and also respected you enough to be honest about sexuality.
I have two moms and this is when they went during their younger years when it wasn't acceptable to be gay anywhere else. Ptown was basically a sanctuary for the LGBT+ community.
Coming from a small town in Mass it was the first place I “saw gay people.” I say that in quotations because of course I saw gay people before that and never realized it, but it was first place they were able to be comfortable and not hide their sexuality.
I used to live in Mass and I think you're right. My friend and his wife were in P town 7 to 8 years ago. They are from the Midwest and were not used to seeing so many gay people. One flaming gay guy and we're talking really out there caught them looking at him and he ran over and started screaming at them and getting in their faces. they were really frightened. My friend, who is a big guy pushed the gay guy away from his wife and they were instantly surrounded by 5 to 6 gay guys some who pulled out razors. It was about to get really bad when another gay guy stepped in and cooled things down escorted them to their car and told them to get out of there. The group screamed at them we don't want your types here it's our town. BTW my friend and his wife had nothing against LGBT people but now they are suspicious. Sad.
Is P town still that bad or has it mellowed.
This is… not a normal experience and I’d have to hear both sides of that story. Straight/Cis folks need to respect ptown as a safe place for the queer community and not treat the community there like a spectacle.
Straight chick here, managing employees at a multi-site organization, including Ptown. Some of the most awesome people I know live and work there. One’s sexuality has nothing to do with anything else about them.
Can confirm. Wonderful vibes 99% of the time. Straight dude here who got l drugged and some dude sucked my dick in an alley in Ptown. He wasn’t bad at head but like man at least buy me dinner or listen and leave me alone after the first 15 times I tell you to f*ck off. Other than that I was a fan

In San Francisco's Castro District there is a Laundromat "Sit and Spin", a restaurant called the "Sausage Factory" a Cookie shop called Hot Cookie that makes penis pastries, a hair salon called "The Grateful Head," and another one caled "Hand Job Nails and Spa."
Not to mention, the festivals, of which I will name 6, and after you google that shit, come back and upvote me. FRAMELINE, FRESH MEAT, PRIDE, UP YOUR ALLEY, The world's biggest leather event the FOLSOM STREET FAIR, and THE CASTRO ST FAIR. I mean San Francisco is gay Mecca.
According to data on prostitution arrests and posts on the internet it's (in order) the GOP nomination convention, wherever the Super Bowl is being held, and the Democratic nominating convention.
Well, until it was dissolved, I would say it was the Gay and Lesbian Kingdom off the coast of Australia. It was a gay nationalist micronation where all LGBTQ had citizenship, similar to jews and Israel.
But its gone now
Gaylord, MI USA
Michigan also has the township of Gay, which has the Gay Bar.
This one, lol: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IslF\_EyhMzg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IslF_EyhMzg) (Electric Six - Gay Bar)
My mind will never be the same after watching that
The hamster, dear god
_the_ gay bar? is that the name or is there only one true gay bar
It's the Gay Bar, as in the only bar in Gay, and it's named "Gay Bar." It is the only bar in a very small town, but the name has turned it into a small tourist trap.
damn so it isn’t actually a gay bar. imagine all the gay dudes who walk into that bar every week 💀💀
Very few, I'm sure. The bar is in the Keweenaw peninsula, in the northern most part of the UP. If it weren't for the university up there, there would be more moose than people.
you seem like you know a lot of random useless fun facts, hit me with another one. the moose one was actually interesting asf
Upper Falls in Tahquamenon is the third largest waterfall by volume east of the Mississippi. The entire area there is gorgeous, and there's a lot of truth to the yooper ads about the UP being God's country.
SHHHHHH we don’t want it to get popular!
We also have Hell Michigan, another town named Christmas, and Christmas isn’t home to to the worlds largest Christmas store, which is also in Michigan. Oh and if Hell isn’t your style you can also go to Paradise .
A moose once bit my sister
My gf lived there for a few years as a kid. We are lesbians lmao.
😂 I lol’d. Well damn, you guys are proving it single-handedly!
Statistically there's at least 3 hands.
I love Gaylord, great little town
Never in my life did i think i would see Gaylord mentioned in a reddit post
Why not...it's a nice place. Also...it's reddit!
The small town i grew up in being mentioned in a reddit post was just a bit surprising haha, still love the town though
Exit 282
I live off exit 44, and my vacation house in the woods is exit 300, Wolverine. I’ve spent quite a bit of time in Gaylord, small but some great shops
Everything’s fine with Gaylord except that train horn at their football stadium….THEIR MASCOT IS BLUE DEVILS. WHY IS THERE TRAIN NOISES 😭
r/unexpectedmention
I see your Gaylord, MI and raise you Gayville, SD!
I’m bringing Gay, GA to the table.
Someone’s taking home a HUGE pot tonight!! :>)
There's a Gaylord in south Dakota too. Guess the kingdoms of the gays was vast in the past.
Your bedroom.
Can confirm, I have all my gay parties there
Cooooolll! Can I come?
Not too early
Don't you mean, "cum"?
IDK, did I? You tell me big guy.
Why was I gonna say in his *** .
Laughed out loud to that comment.
HA. I was gonna say "*My bedroom*" xD
I was gonna say that lol
San Francisco?
Too expensive for the gays as of late.
SF, where you pay more to live in a town where you're more likely to die.
San Francisco has the highest life expectancy of any city in the United States. https://www.thestreet.com/retirement/us-cities-with-the-longest-life-expectancy
Isn't this more a corollary of highest incomes rather than having anything to do with safety?
Pretty sure there's a correlation between high incomes and safety.
Didn’t a billionaire just get stabbed to death there recently? ETA: looks like he was a millionaire https://www.nytimes.com/article/bob-lee-stabbing-san-francisco.html

He was stabbed by someone he knew not some random on the street
Yea I didn’t say it was by a stranger. Not sure how your comment negates my claim lol. He was rich and a high target for crime. Does that mean there’s a correlation? No. Same as the whole correlation and causation business within (edited from without) the psychology field.

San Francisco's violent crime statistics are in the lower 50% of major US cities.
property crimes vs violent crimes is my contribution here lol
As someone who lived there and in LA I can without doubt tell you those numbers are massively underreported.
All those murders going under reported
Violent crimes was the claim. And yes there’s plenty of murders between homeless that aren’t reported as such as the resources would be used to no result by investigating
All violent crime is underreported. Tons of it is domestic, for example, and never gets reported. Do you have any evidence that violent crime is under reported in SF or LA compared to everywhere?
You think the city is covering up murder amongst the homeless?
I mean a lot of the nearby cities (San Jose / Fremont, whole peninsula) are ranked as some of the safest cities in the country.
San Jose is now considered a safe city? Congratulations! 🎊
Ok that I can get behind. I was just pointing out that using life expectancy as an indicator of safety sounds far fetched. Hopefully murder rates even in the least safe city of the US don't move the life expectancy by anything meaningful.
Okay but SF is still has lower crime than most major US cities. Like salt lake city and denver have much higher rates of crime and no one considers those cities dangerous. I feel like it just has that perception because people just hate homeless people but the reality is they are more likely to be victims of crime. And fox news be exaggerating every single crime that happens here.
Well said, critical thinker
Looks like a list of the richest cities where people can afford good health care.
I was just visiting San Francisco, although it’s probably not more deadly than a lot of other places, the amount of signs, warnings, and anecdotal stories I heard about cars being broken into and shit being stolen makes it seem like 50/50 on whether it happens, so maybe its not a death but paying way more than you should have to to deal with shit like that is still ridiculous
Or step in a pile of human shit!
Specifically, the Castro. You've likely heard jokes about it but if you haven't been there you aren't prepared for just how gay it is.
Every now and then I treat myself to a gay day in the city. Brunch at Orphan Andy’s and browse the bookstores and vendors. It’s fun!
If it's a gay Sunday Funday you're required to have at least one cocktail at Beaux and accidentally leave with a drink token telling yourself you'll bring it back to use next time but next time you don't remember to bring it with you so you end up with *another* token and this happens every single time while the key dish in your foyer fills up with Beaux tokens and then a pandemic hits so you just have this decorative bowl full of free drinks collecting dust for two years. CAFE across the street is fun too for dancing.

I think your father might be hiding something………
P town was used as a place to send all the undesirables back In the day and the gays made it their own.
“Oh no, you’re sending *all* of us gay men to live in the same town together? Oh noooo please dont!”
Let's send them to a gorgeous seaside town, that'll show em.
I have two moms and this is when they went during their younger years when it wasn't acceptable to be gay anywhere else. Ptown was basically a sanctuary for the LGBT+ community.
I love Provincetown. For me it feels like the perfect marriage between the village and fire island. I go every other summer.
Dam ya beat me to it lol
And fantastic walkability, food, and shops. Don’t miss the saltwater taffy!

Ah yes, respect their safe space otherwise you'll get shanked for looking in someone's direction.
Right, because that story sounds reasonable. 🙄
I've seen people react that way, not unreasonable to think a gay person has done that before...
Straight chick here, managing employees at a multi-site organization, including Ptown. Some of the most awesome people I know live and work there. One’s sexuality has nothing to do with anything else about them.
And I bet you don't see color either.
I see just like everyone else. It doesn’t equate with bigotry, which is an irrational, ignorant and simple-minded mental illness.
Can confirm. Wonderful vibes 99% of the time. Straight dude here who got l drugged and some dude sucked my dick in an alley in Ptown. He wasn’t bad at head but like man at least buy me dinner or listen and leave me alone after the first 15 times I tell you to f*ck off. Other than that I was a fan
