    Somehow we missed it, but back in January, Columbus was named “Up-and-Coming GayCity of 2011” by GayCities.com in their annual reader survey. Little else was said about our city at the time, but more recently, the recognition was reignited at Queerty.com with some more insight and explaination:

    “As much as Ohio gets lumped into the Midwest, Columbus demonstrates something of an Eastern sensibility. The secret is that Columbus’s queer Pride comes not from its restaurants, galleries, and clubs but rather from its queer history.”
