Are gayborhoods being ruined by gentrification ?


 

Is the gentrification of gay neighborhoods a bad thing, and if so what do we do if we can not stop it?  Zach Stafford the Editor-in-Chief of INTO a digital magazine from GRINDR and he took a look at the current state of Chicago’s Boystown one of the country’s oldest gayborhoods, and the first one to receive official government recognition. 

He discovered that this community continues to make great strides toward full equality, but the future for this neighborhood that was always a beacon of gay hope may be losing its sparkle. 

Stafford’s fascinating film offers no solutions but it does very timely bring up the conversation that we should all be having about the future of our own LGBT communities.
