I never really played LGBT sims so I never focused on a hang out for them, but now I'm turning the Spice Market karaoke bar into a mixed hangout, which is open to everyone but will be a hangout for the "Friends of the Rainbow" club. It means all my lgbt sims will probably show up there even if I visit with some other sim. I categorized it as Restaurant, keeps two of the karaoke booths, and upstairs there is a cheap self serving hotel with 3-4 rooms. I'll pretend the restaurant host will also manage the hotel story.
Well, to my point - what lgbt related decor do we have? I though we had lots of, but all I can find is the wall flag. It would be cool reading about your Pride/community lot or lgbt hang out/club - and with a few hints to how you decorated it
I'll not go for CC as my game is already full, but I'm pretty sure I have just missed a few items already available in my game.

Hold SHIFT while using the FRIEZE tool to apply it to a single wall, and not an entire room!

If you download one of my builds, by all means, leave me a message and tell me what you did and did not like about it.
@SailorCeti Haha I was gonna say the same thing. Over 50% of the sims I play actively are LGBT+ so my whole game is basically a pride location LOL
Decor wise though, rainbow walls (just a strip of each appropriate colour) might look good in the karaoke booths? Or the curtains that have rainbow swatches?
May I offer you edit your post and switch the L and G? It's primarily spelt LGBT (or LGBTQ+/LGBTQIA+ as of more recent years)
And I don't play LGBTQIA+ sims that often, despite being transgender and omnisexual myself, so I don't really have any pride places in my game. And to quote @Onverser
Unless you're an Occult, then Normal sims treat you like a heartless monster for needing to drink their blood, can't help that I'm a vampire guys it's in my nature, so you're either with me or against me on this one.
Sorry for the misspelling. I'm not so political correct and I'd actually prefer just saying gay instead of all those letters that I will never get right anyway - no offence. At least I switched the first two, thanks
I don’t have Seasons so some stuff is missing but I just put extra bars and dartboards up.
No problem, hon!
Just spent 2 hrs trying to figure out what CC caused the "lot can't load" error code for my new Waterside Warble restaurant. Phew - such a wasted time when you'd rather play the game... I think I finally found the problem - a table cloth.
Don't worry about it. there's nothing politically incorrect about the word gay. All those other letters only got added to reference the broader community and functions as an umbrella term for sexual diversity and gender identity. You can use any of these. Gay, LGB, LGBT, LGBTQ, LGBTIQ, LGBTGIA, (or just back to LGBT+ to make it easier for everyone while still making it understood you included everyone who identifies as part of the gay community).
But generally, no. In spite of historic patterns of migration, and how Queer culture has developed in our real world, I am ambivalent about "gay ghettoes" where one is able to be left alone. The ideal, to me, is that one ought to be free to be oneself and left alone over it anywhere.
I did make, and upload to share, a TS3 lot in June of 2016, as part of my observance of Pride Month, and honestly as a way of creatively engaging and processing my own feelings about the Pulse nightclub, which was sobering just one year after the excitement of 2015.
But my Sims don't require that kind of accommodation, so I haven't actually created any in TS4. Their Pride territory is simply wherever they happen to be, doing whatever they happen to do, living their Sim lives.
