Autostraddle got born in New York and it got born in New York for a rationality — 'cause the city is chock-full of dykes. New York Burgh's got more gays & lesbians up inside it than any other city in the country and the diversity of the LGBTQ stage setting and the anonymity afforded by NYC's masses make it a prime location for one to spread one's newly-offbeat wings. Conversely, newly legalized same-sex marriage makes it a fastidious place to settle down. NYU, The New School, Barnard and Columbia are chock-full of lesbians, as is in the vicinity Sarah Lawrence. There are resources/activity groups for everyone of every sexual proclivity, gender uniqueness, political passion and yoga style preference.
Although Manhattan's West Village and Chelsea neighborhoods have become chiefly male-centric spaces, lesbians have made gayborhoods of their own in areas like Park Pitch, Red Hook, East Harlem and West Harlem. Nightlife is always evolving as some clubs rigorous and new nights crop up, from Cubbyhole to Choice Cunts to Lovergirl. However everything is wonderful fucking expensive all the time.
