Although proportionately not as big as that of San Francisco, the gay scene in LA is no less prominent. While West Hollywood is synonymous with the (affluent white) gay lifestyle, not just in LA but all over California, there are many other spots where intolerance is kept at bay. The other major gay community is Siler Lake, most evidently along Hyperion Boulevard, home to working-class blacks, whites and Hispanics, while other places like Venice, Los Feliz, Studio City and even Laguna Beach in Orange County are comfortable gay and lesbian locales. We've listed gay-friendly accommodations, restaurants, bars and clubs in the relevant listings sections.

The city's best known gay and lesbian bookshop is A Different Light, 8853 Santa Monica Blvd (phone 310/854-6601, ), with monthly art shows, readings and musical events. Magazines with good listings sections include Nightlife, Edge and Frontiers . The Gay Community Yellow Pages (phone 323/469-4454) is a comprehensive annual directory ($5) of gay businesses, publications, services and gathering places; it also publishes a gay restaurant guide. The Gay and Lesbian Community Services Center, 1625 N Schrader Blvd (phone 323/993-7400), is the community's prime resource for counseling, health testing and information.
