Is there a PRIDE location in your game?

@Simmerville I agree that just because the sim world doesn't technically need a pride location, doesn't mean there can't or shouldn't be one. But I still think the comparison with bookworms or gardeners doesn't really work, because those are activities that like-minded sims can do together, be it in a club or simply in a place that allows for them. Being a member of the LGBT community is not an activity, so what exactly would those sims be doing together? And if it's just about having a public place for them to meet, how to make sure that all, or at least most sims who go there are actually LGBT?

I've been thinking about adding a pride location to my own sim world, I'm just not sure how to make it work properly for these reasons. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Ok, so comparing gay with bookworms was a bit far fetched, but not if seen from the view of clubs, identity and hang-outs. Anyone who prefer focusing on all problems and fights and unfairness of RL will still protest. I never urged to drag RL's conflicts into my sims game. My gay community will simply build relations, hoping for a romantic match. I might use it for story telling, but mainly I'll play other non-gay guests at Water side Warble, and the Rainbow club members will be there in the background adding something to the general vibe, I hope. So, the answer to your Q is clubs - members of a club will always (?) show up at the lot that is connected with their club, even if you play non-members. It's a good way to "decorate" a community lot. Say you want a ORANGE club, you can of course add orange decore, but you can also create a club (GetTogether pack) with never played sims all wearing orange clothes, and when your played sim visit the place there will be many orange guests there. silly example, but the concept can of course be tweaked in any way you like to add the right vibe to any community lot.
