Terms of Use

What this site is

Gay Hangouts is a free directory of LGBTQ+ friendly venues across the US. Listings are compiled from public business information and may be incomplete or out of date — see our Privacy Policy for how listing data is sourced. We make no guarantee that a venue is currently open, that its hours are accurate, or that it still exists. Always confirm details directly with a venue before visiting, especially if you're traveling any distance for it.

Age and content

Some categories on this site — bathhouses and venues with adult-oriented amenities — are intended for adults. By using this site you confirm you're of legal age in your jurisdiction to view this kind of content. We don't independently verify age; use your own judgment about what's appropriate for you to browse.

Acceptable use

Don't attempt to scrape this site at scale, circumvent rate limits, or otherwise disrupt how it runs. Normal browsing and indexing by search engines is fine — this is aimed at abuse, not ordinary use.

Claiming a listing

If you own or manage a venue, you can submit corrections or updates through the "Claim or update this listing" link on its page. Submitting a claim doesn't create a paid relationship or guarantee any particular placement — we don't run pay-to-rank schemes. Submitting false information about a venue you don't own or represent isn't permitted.

No liability for third-party venues

We aren't affiliated with, and don't control, any venue listed here. We're not responsible for what happens at a venue, for a venue's own policies, or for the accuracy of a venue's own advertising. Use of any venue is between you and that venue.

No warranty, and the site may change

This site is provided as-is, without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee it will be available at all times or free of errors. We may change, add to, or discontinue any part of the site at any time.

Copyright concerns

If you believe content on this site — a photo or otherwise — infringes your copyright, email hello@gayhangouts.com with what it is and where it appears, and we'll take it down promptly.

Removal requests

If you're a venue owner and want your listing removed, email hello@gayhangouts.com and we'll take it down promptly.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site changes. Material changes will update the date at the top of this page.

This page describes our current practices in plain language. It isn't a substitute for legal advice, and if you have a specific legal question, consult an attorney in your jurisdiction.
