I don't know whether you'd really have gay-friendly bars here. Wellington seems to small for anonymity - everyone behaves themselves as a consequence, unfortunately (.... well fortunately in some cases, it does cut down on theft and muggings ...)
Regarding music, I guess there's that stereotype of gay disco music from New York in the 70s and early 80s, from the time of Stonewall onwards (which was pretty much the opposite to what they play in El Horno)
It does sound weird that a culture would only be into one kind of music, but then you could say hip-hop comes from black America, so it's not so rare.
In both cases though, people from that culture wouldn't only be into that kind of music, and obviously it's a music that speaks about their experiences foremost.
Anyway, that was probably way too much of a tangent ...
Makes sense, I guess.
