IDYLLWILD'S GAY
LIFE
Much
like Key West, Carmel, Laguna Beach and many other resort
communities around the world, Idyllwild has become popular due to a
strong gay and lesbian influence. Known for many years as an "Artist Colony" this
quaint little hamlet in the mountains above Palm Springs has quite
the gay and lesbian following. In fact Idyllwild has a rather
large gay and lesbian population with many living here as full-time
residents and second home owners. Every month there is a GLT
potluck which keeps growing every year. Oh and don't forget in
summer months we're much cooler than Palm Springs (sometimes as much
as 30 to 40 degrees cooler)
so come up for the day or spend the weekend. Some groups will
rent a fabulous vacation home for a week and do it in style.
Below are just a
few of the Gay and Gay-Friendly businesses in town. You can
