"Denver has long been one of the country's great centers of lesbian and gay culture. The GLBT community here is highly visible – socially, professionally, and politically – and gay-friendly restaurants, bars, hotels, and other businesses are easy to find in a number of prominent neighborhoods. With several new or expanded high-profile museums, easy access to skiing and hiking, a sunny climate, and relative affordability compared with other big urban centers, the Mile High City makes for a highly appealing vacation destination for many."

"Denver (also referred to as the Queen City of the Plains) is quite supportive of queer culture. Bolstered every summer by a major gay rodeo and the exuberant PrideFest, as one of the best GLBT pride events in the country, the gay scene here is only slightly more conservative than in coastal metropolises and is very focused on active lifestyles . Out on the town, you'll meet frat boys, cowboys, mountain-hardened athletes, and a strong, extremely outdoorsy lesbian population."
