Meet Your People
Get acquainted with local members of our GLBT community
We your people are making history every day and every night. With inspiring sights, snazzy shops and action-packed bars, clubs and restaurants, Philadelphia is full of fun.
Isn't it time you joined us?
With such an original city, it’s no surprise that Philadelphia boasts so many revolutionary gay and lesbian men and women.
There’s Mark Segal, the journalist/publisher/activist who founded the award-winning Philadelphia Gay News. Then there’s Matthew Izzo, who opened one of Philadelphia’s favorite boutiques in 2002. And Melissa Kolczynski, who develops and produces crowd-stopping, one-woman plays.
But those are just a few. Read on to meet some of Philadelphia’s most accomplished — and inspiring — gay and lesbian personalities.
And once you’re more familiar with some of Philadelphia’s GLBT personalities, get to know all our gay-friendly, gay-owned and gay-operated attractions, restaurants, boutiques, events and accommodations. You’ll find all of this and much more at
Gay-Friendly Philadelphia
