A PLACE FOR EVERYONE
LGBTQ+ Arizona
From Arizona's small towns to its largest city, visitors find plenty of open and welcoming communities to enjoy in the Grand Canyon State.
Arizona is so much more than hot temps and cool pools — though we've got lots of those. Hike among iconic saguaros in Tucson's mountains and shop the diverse 4th Avenue and its many shops. Or go deep underground as you explore Bisbee's mining past before exploring its art-filled alleys and stairways.
Should you prefer a more metro scene, Phoenix's resorts and spas offer luxe treatments and lively pool scenes. Head downtown for drinks, art and live shows on Roosevelt Row or read the room at Stacy's @ Melrose or Boycott Bar. Feeling hungry? Trek Mesa's Fresh Foodie Trail and sample the international cuisine on Main Street. Then relax on the waters of Tempe Town Lake or continue the fun on Mill Avenue.
And do it all with views of Arizona's captivating desert landscape and gorgeous sunsets. There's fun and beauty all around — for everyone.
