Locations Finder
The map will not load
If the Locations Finder page opens but pins never appear, it is often a blocked map script, an ad blocker, or a failed plugin load — not that your city is empty. Sign in, then open https://network.unite.gay/map. Allow JavaScript. Turn off ad blockers and privacy extensions for this site. Try another browser or a private window. On a phone, use Safari or Chrome, not an in-app browser. Zoom out. A filter may be hiding the type of venue you want. If the rest of the Network works
Why my city has few pins
Coverage is worldwide and uneven. Large scenes (Western Europe, some US and Latin American cities) have more pins because we have more sources. Smaller towns and hostile countries have fewer, and some places should stay discreet. We prioritise venues we can verify. You can help by suggesting a venue with a name, city, type, and link. If there is truly no gay bar for hours, the Knowledge Center piece on rural and small-town life is the better read than an empty map.
How to suggest a venue
We add places that fit the map: gay and bisexual men’s nightlife and community, in a real city, still operating. Email support@unite.gay with: Official name. City and country. Type (bar, club, sauna, leather, community centre). Address or a map link. A link to the venue’s own site or social page. One line on why it belongs on a map for gay and bisexual men. We do not promise to add every suggestion. Unverified or off-audience places stay off the map.
A venue is closed, moved, or wrong
Tell us. The map is checked, but nights close and addresses move. Your note feeds the next correction. Copy the venue name, city, and the map URL if you have it. Write to support@unite.gay with subject Map correction. Say whether it is closed, moved, wrongly typed, or unsafe to list. A source helps: the venue’s own page, a recent photo of a shuttered door, or a local news note. We may remove a pin before we find a replacement. That is better than sending men to a dead address
What kinds of places are on the map
We list places gay and bisexual men actually use. In: gay and bisexual men’s nightlife (bars, clubs, saunas), leather and fetish venues that welcome men, and community centres that serve this audience. Out: lesbian-primary venues, generic LGBT friendly hotels with no community function, closed businesses, and listings we have not verified. A pin is not a safety rating and not an invitation to ignore local law. If a listing is wrong, see A venue is closed, moved, or wrong.
How to search the map
Use the Locations Finder when you want a bar, sauna, or community centre in a city. Sign in and go to https://network.unite.gay/map. Search by city or place name, or pan the map. If filters for venue type are shown, use them (bar, club, sauna, and so on). Tap a pin to open the venue details. If no pins appear, try zooming out, another city spelling, or see The map will not load and Why my city has few pins.
What the Locations Finder is
The Locations Finder is our map of places for gay and bisexual men: bars, clubs, saunas, leather spots, and community centres. It is a travel and local tool, not a complete encyclopedia of every LGBT venue on earth. Open it at https://network.unite.gay/map. Pins are curated. Lesbian-primary venues, closed businesses, and unverified listings are out of scope. The map is for members. If you are not signed in, you may see a limited page or a prompt to log in.
