Gay Houston

Texas' largest city

Houston is Texas' largest city and the fourth largest in the US. It is Texas-sized: covering half the size of Rhode Island. Unlike other Texas towns, Houston is lush and green, sitting on the intersection of two Bayous. Gay life here is mostly centered in the Montrose neighborhood, with nearly two dozen gay bars and clubs sprinkled in between lovely craftsman-style homes and apartment buildings. You'll find something for everyone here from popular gay dance clubs to leather bars and neighborhood haunts popular with locals.
