Two new art exhibits are set to open in New York City, the first looking into gay life before the dawn of the gay liberation movement and the sexual revolution that accompanied it. The second, opening in June, is a sobering look at the early history of the AIDS epidemic. Together, they paint a picture of the highs and lows our community has weathered throughout the last 50 years.

The rivalry between the gays in New York City and the gays in Los Angeles is as longstanding as gangster-rapper competition and Alexis and Krystal's feud on Dynasty. For years the fine, upstanding residents of both hamlets have fought over which city is better to live in if you're gay. It's one of life's greatest mysteries, like, "What makes the sky blue?" or, "Where do babies come from?" -- unanswered by the greatest minds... until now. I believe it's time to put this fight to bed and get to the bottom of which city is better to habitate if you're a homosexual.

Forget hotels and live like a native in buzzing Brooklyn, suggests Lee Randall

Wandering around Williamsburg, the hipster capital of Brooklyn, brings to mind my late father, who was born in this borough, which was an independent town before its engulfment by New York City in the late 19th century. Dad wouldn’t recognise the place. In fact, even I don’t recognise it. The last time I ventured to this part of my native city was in the 1980s, when we’d joke that you needed to pack heat to get in and out alive. Now – all joking aside – I’d advise you to pack a Mac computer, a trilby, and a refined palate for artisan beer and coffee, else die of shame.

They call it the ‘city that never sleeps’ and this couldn’t be truer. Whether you’re a night owl, or an early morning riser (no pun intended), there is always something to do and see in New York City. And thanks to the legalisation of equal marriage last year, NYC is possibly the most gay-friendly place on earth. It’s almost as happy as Disney World, but with less queuing.

A recent poster in New York's gayborhoods tells the tale: "MORE GRINDR=FEWER GAY BARS." This brief cri de coeur—spread, appropriately enough, via social media and on blogs like Joe. My. God.—cited hookup sites and rapidly proliferating mobile apps like Grindr for killing New York's gay nightlife.
