San Diego

Considered the birthplace of California, gay San Diego is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, with many research institutions that contribute to the creation of alternative green energy. Attractions like the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, San Diego Pride, Comic-Con, the Old Town San Diego State Historic Park, and its annual Beer Week contribute to a lively tourism industry, particularly among LGBTs, who value gay San Diego for its access to both water, world-class dining and shopping, and a robust nightlife.
