"This is an extremely LGBT-friendly town. Coming from Texas, I really noticed the difference. If any of the visitors are LGBT, they’ll be very safe in our town. They can be sure of that. And there’s a lot of things for them to do here."

"Philadelphia is very LGBT-friendly. I’m gender-fluid. I’ve felt comfortable everywhere I’ve gone in the city. I hope they’ll enjoy all the murals in Philadelphia. And the food is great."

"The people are very open and inviting. I love the pizza and cheesesteaks in Philly. I’d like to tell the visitors Philly is very queer-friendly. I hope they bring that same spirit when they come here."
