Gay & Lesbian Nightlife
St. Thomas might be the most cosmopolitan of the Virgin Islands, but it is no longer
the “gay paradise” it was in the 1960s and 1970s. The major gay scene in the U.S.
Virgins is now on St. Croix (see chapter 5). That doesn't mean that gay men and
lesbians aren't drawn to St. Thomas. They are, but many attend predominantly
straight establishments, such as
the Greenhouse
(see “Bars & Clubs,” above).
