LGBT Asheville

 

Asheville is a gay-friendly small city. Period.

 

According to the latest United States census, the Asheville area has 83% more queer woman , gay bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) identified people than the typical American city or town. Another study, also based on census results, found that Bun-combe County (with similar sex couples per 1,) and Asheville ( per 1,) are the most gay-friendly county and capital in the state of North Carolina, on a per-capita basis well ahead of places like Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill. In , the gay-oriented publication, The Advocate, ranked Asheville as the “12th gayest city in America.” Atlanta was ranked #1.

 

LGBTQ+ visitors increasingly are discovering Asheville, with its great natural beau-ty, groundbreaking dining and drinking spots, heavy-duty gallery, arts and crafts scene, interesting shops and numerous gay-owned or gay-welcoming B&Bs and inns and businesses.

 

You are likely to see a number of openly lesbian and gay couples around town, es-pecially Downtown and in West Asheville.
