Although Tangier has a long history as a gay haven, it doesn't have any official gay venues today. Morocco still criminalises homosexuality. In the 50s, it was more a case of overlooking gay activities rather than accepting gay people. The reality on the ground has always been nuanced, to say the least. Tangier is still home to many people who are drawn to the bohemian promise of the city, as described by William Burroughs and Joe Orton.
