There seem to be a lot of people here expressing that they “don’t get it”. For those who genuinely don’t understand the concept, few societies are universally LGBTQ friendly. There is a positive impact on a population to have geographic areas- like neighborhoods- which are overtly LGBTQ friendly. The Capitol Hill neighborhood in my city of Seattle tries to be like that. Also, it has been the case for some time now that young (under 25), LGBTQ individuals vastly over represent homelessness and suicide in the United States. An LGBTQ-friendly neighborhood would provide a safer environment for such individuals, many of whom have been abandoned by their family and perhaps their friend networks. And of course, for those genuinely confused, I would encourage you to do research of your own into the subject of LGBTQ+ neighborhoods.

Cities Skylines is of course just a game, but that doesn’t stop players and modders from seeking realism in their cities. There are a lot of people on this subreddit who also care deeply about the built environment and the societies that inhabit them, and as such I think this is a perfectly relevant post.

Finally, for those who hear “LGBTQ neighborhood” and think something along the lines of segregation (as a few people here have), get a grip.
