Gay York: THE Gay Guide to York and YorkshireA friend of a friend once asked me, "This city is lovely but, if you are Lesbian or Gay and in York, what is there to do." So I sat down to think. He was right. York is a splendid place to visit for families with children. Yet, if you are single and gay there just is not that much to do here. Thus my research began. Gay Friendly Pubs in YorkSorry to say boys and girls there just aren't many. With a population of some 200k in the city, there is ONE main pub known as gay friendly in York. As a percentage that is ... ummm ... why do the words - "Put that in your statistical pipe and smoke it." - come to mind? This pub, The York Arms, has been taken over by new management who are not as tolerant as the last few were. It is located very close to the Minster. Yet, if there is only one, it is going to be next to impossible for them to change its reputation. If you know different then email me and tell me. If I don't know then it doesn't get published here. If it isn't up here then the thousands of gay people all over the world that come here wont know. More recently another pub has come out of the closet and is marketing itself as gay and lesbian friendly. That pub is <drum roll> the Little John.
