==In gay clubs== [[File:Go-go boys.jpg|thumb|Go-go boys at the June 2008 [[Chicago Pride Parade]]]] Many gay clubs had male go-go dancers, often called go-go boys, from 1965 to 1968, after which few gay clubs had go-go dancers.<ref name=BAR>"Going to a Go Go: Up Close with the Dancers and the Dance" ''[[Bay Area Reporter]]'' Thursday, 2 May 1991, "Arts and Entertainment" section Pages 29β30</ref> In the early 1980s New York's Anvil club featured go-go dancers and [[drag show]]s.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sY4BDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT260|title=Life and Death on the New York Dance Floor, 1980β1983|first=Tim|last=Lawrence|publisher=Duke University Press|date=2016|isbn=9780822373926|page=260}}</ref> In 1988 go-go dancing again became fashionable at gay clubs (and has remained so ever since). Nowadays, gay male go-go dancers are a lot more popular and common in American culture, especially in bigger cities such as Los Angeles and New York. There are more gay go-go dancers than female go-go dancers in today's club scene, a big turnaround from the 1960s.<ref name=BAR/>{{bsn|reason=Outdated source, and likely never true to begin with.|date=March 2025}}
