Hangouts and Eateries
Listing in this category does not mean that it is gay-owned or operated, but that it is either known to be gay-friendly or is a hangout for some local
GLB people. (For example, Christinne's donated a gift certificate for a Down East Pride raffle in the past.) This is by no means a complete list, nor
should exclusion from this list imply that it is not a gay-friendly establishment. Any suggestions for additions should be emailed to the address at the bottom of
this page.
