Gay Bars in New Hampshire

Known as the "Granite State," in 2009 New Hampshire became the fifth state in the union to legalize same-sex marriages. The state has been in the forefront of GLBT issues, but is also home to several nightspots for the community as well. Those living in New Hampshire or simply visiting can choose from a number of gay bars, most of which are primarily located in the state's largest city, Manchester.
