Please do us and all of our readers a favor and use the comments to let us know if any bars or clubs we have posted are no longer open, or if any new LGBT hot spots in your area have opened up.
We also want to say that we know this scene pretty well but we are not local experts by any means. If you think we should be listing any of the above as strictly lesbian or gay bars be sure to fill us in. We have tried our best, but we can’t be experts on the whole world.

Best LGBT Dating Sites
Let’s face it guys, going out to a local LGBT bar or club isn’t for everyone. Sure, there will be some drunk people around you might be able to hook up with, but you have to deal with being around a bunch of drunk strangers which can be fun, but isn’t always.
Some of you may not even be fully ‘out’ right now and may not feel comfortable in that type of setting just yet. Whatever your motivations are LGBT dating sites are a great way to meet people near you without having to get all dressed up and head to a gay or lesbian bar.
We have a few options to tell you about, and the first ones are mostly geared towards sex for fun, not finding a life partner. Men Nation is a really good gay dating site for hook ups, and if you want to hook up with gay men in Lyon you should give it a shot.
Lesbian Personals is a really good lesbian hook up site, and they are both run by Adult Friend Finder. You have probably seen their ads online before in the fifteen plus years that they have been doing their thing.
Men looking for other gay men near you to hook up with can use Men Nation for fast results. Women who want to meet lesbian women would be best off using Lesbian Personals, and those who are bi-sexual and like all types can check out Adult Friend Finder which covers the whole gambit. Marriage isn’t for all of us and these sites are a great way to hook up for those that don’t enjoy partying in the LGBT bars, clubs, and nightlife.
The world’s top transgender dating site is MyTransgenderDate and we know some will be a bit curious to take a look. Trans dating in Lyon is more popular than ever before and will only continue to grow as more ts feel confident enough to be the person they really want to be.
At this point we have discussed the Lyon LGBT nightlife in full. You know all about the best mixed, gay, or lesbian bars and clubs in your area plus drag shows to party with trans and all sorts of LGBT dating sites. Now choose the best option for you and enjoy yourself.
