Manchester's
Gay Village is without doubt the livliest area of the city and this
is reflected by the number of pubs, bars and clubs dotted around
Canal Street, or 'anal treet' as it's also affectionately known
locally.
Canal
Street is the name most widely associated with Manchester's Gay
Village. Lined with gay bars, clubs, cafe's and shops, it's packed
at night time with gays, lesbians, transexuals and transvetites
who have flocked to the area from all over the world. Many attracted
by the Queer As Folk television drama which was based here.
Whilst
'The Village' is full of gay bars, most of them are straight friendly
and the popularity of the area with hetrosexuals underlines the welcoming
open-minded attitude Mancunians are famed for. A great time is guaranteed
for anybody, gay straight or bi-sexual.
