Street gay

Gay Street is a short, angled street that marks off one block of Greenwich Village in the New York City borough of Manhattan. Although the street is part of the Stonewall National Monument (a U.S. national monument dedicated to the LGBT-rights movement), its name is likely derived from a family named Gay who owned land or lived there in.

The name of Gay Street is very fitting to the nature and history of Greenwich Village, New York's most famous home to the LGBTQ+ community.
