Is Mid-Century Modern on Hulu Just Gay Fiction? Here’s the Real Palm Springs Tea

Thinking about vacationing in Palm Springs? Hulu’s Mid-Century Modern is fueling the fantasy, but the real-life version is even better. Here’s what gay life in Palm Springs actually looks like — and why it should be your next getaway.

Let’s be real: Mid-Century Modern on Hulu is everything Gay Palm Springs. Iconic architecture. Sarcastic gay men in their prime. Poolside drama. Linda Lavin.

But the real gag? You don’t have to binge a sitcom pretending to live your best gay life when you can actually be here surrounded by palm trees, pool floats, and Palm Springs mid-century perfection.

Because here in Palm Springs, it’s not a fantasy. It’s the lifestyle!

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or you’ve been flirting with the idea of moving here permanently (you wouldn’t be the first!), let’s break down what this Hulu hit got right, what it got hilariously wrong, and why Palm Springs is still the desert capital that gay dreams are made of.

If you have anything you’d like to contribute to this article, please email us and let us know (and let us know why)!

In the meantime, here’s the real Palm Springs tea… 

Mid-Century Modern: Glammed-Up Fiction or Desert Reality?

In Mid-Century Modern, three gay besties — Bunny, Jerry, and Arthur — move into a mid-century house in Palm Springs after a funeral and proceed to live together, surrounded by martinis, misadventures, and passive-aggressive zingers. Throw in Bunny’s live-in mother Sybil, and you've got a cross between Golden Girls and Will & Grace – but make it desert-chic.

Is this what life’s really like for gay men here in Palm Springs? Honestly? Kind of. But it’s also way better than you can imagine.

Yes, the Architecture Really Is That Sexy

Palm Springs is internationally known for its mid-century modern architecture. We’re talking:

  • Butterfly rooflines

  • Clerestory windows

  • Vintage breeze blocks

  • Pools that belong on a Slim Aarons postcard

Whether you’re strolling through Twin Palms, Vista Las Palmas, or Deepwell Estates, you’ll see homes that make you feel like you're in an Architectural Digest spread — except with fewer stylists and more shirtless men walking their dogs (aka their babies).

Want to geek out on architecture before you visit? Check out our Palm Springs Guys mid-century modern self-guided tour (Google Maps GPS-ready!) and discover the magic of Desert Modernism architecture for yourself.

Chosen Family Vibes? Very That.

The premise of friends becoming a chosen family? Not only realistic — it’s Palm Springs culture in a nutshell.

The community here is tight-knit, supportive, and refreshingly unbothered. Whether you’re single, partnered, throupled, or “it's complicated,” you’ll find your people here faster than you can say “poolside cocktail at 2.”

In fact, Palm Springs has the highest percentage of LGBTQ+ residents of any city in the U.S. That means the whole place is basically a gay friend group waiting to happen.

So… Should You Visit?

Uh, yes. Immediately. Especially now (considering the state our current government, if you can even call it governing). Palm Springs is like a double layer of protection for our beautiful, vibrant, and inclusive LGBTQ+ community and our allies here in Southern California. But I digress.

Mid-Century Modern may have put Palm Springs back on the map for Hulu-watching audiences, but the truth is — we’ve been living this dream in real time for years.

Here’s why gay men from across the country (and around the world) flock here year-round:

Weather That’s Practically a Drag Queen: Always Serving Looks

  • 300+ days of sunshine

  • Stunning mountain views in every direction (in the desert? Yes)!

  • Pool season is… every season

  • Even our winters are giving “hot tub and rosé”

Culture & Events That Keep It Cute

  • Modernism Week is a dream for design lovers

  • Palm Springs Pride is one of the largest, most inclusive and joyful in the country

  • Drag brunches, cabaret nights, spa days, and shopping galore

Basically: There’s always something going on, and you’ll never feel out of place doing it

A Place Where You’ll Actually Make Friends

Whether it’s happy hours at Chill Bar, lounging at your boutique resort, or exchanging flirtatious smiles at the guy across the table at FARM — making new friends (and maybe more?) is the Palm Springs way.

You’ll meet locals. You’ll meet travelers. You might even meet someone who convinces you to come back... permanently. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Final Thoughts: Palm Springs Is the Gay Getaway You Deserve

If you’re looking for a place that combines stylish relaxation, a welcoming LGBTQ+ community, and enough retro-chic vibes to make your Hulu watchlist jealous, Palm Springs is it.

Come for the mid-century fantasy — stay for the sunshine, culture, and community that makes real life here even better than the show. Whether you're in your 20s or your golden years, Palm Springs is ready to show you a good time on repeat.

Palm Springs Real Estate: Why Palm Springs is THE Place to Live Your Best Gay Life in 2025

Discover why Palm Springs is the ultimate destination for gay men looking to relocate, invest, or vacation in paradise in 2025 and beyond. From gay-friendly neighborhoods to stunning real estate options, Palm Springs offers an unparalleled lifestyle for the LGBTQ+ community.

Palm Springs Real Estate: Why Palm Springs is THE Place to Live Your Best Gay Life - Luxury home and pool in Palm Springs California - The Palm Springs Guys - Gay Palm Springs

It’s true that Palm Springs has crystal blue skies, swaying palm trees, and a drag brunch scene that could rival any big city Pride parade. But if you’re a gay man looking to live your best life year-round, there’s simply nowhere else like Palm Springs, California. Nestled in the heart of the Coachella Valley, Palm Springs is more than just a vacation hotspot for many full and part-time locals (ourselves included) – it’s a desert oasis where gay men thrive, connect, while investing in both their community and their futures. Whether you’re contemplating a part-time getaway home or a full-time fabulous abode, Palm Springs is the place where your next chapter begins.

If you have anything you’d like to contribute to this article, please email us and let us know (and let us know why)!

In the meantime, here’s why Palm Springs is THE place to live your best gay life in 2025 (and beyond).

Why Palm Springs is the Ultimate Gay Escape (and Investment Opportunity)

Neighborhoods Tailored for You 

First things first, every neighborhood in Palm Springs is as gay-friendly as a Chappell Roan concert. From the upscale Movie Colony district to the mid-century modern gems in Deepwell, there’s a perfect spot for every lifestyle and budget. The Historic Tennis Club area offers luxury and charm, while Warm Sands is known for its LGBTQ+-friendly resorts and social atmosphere. Not to mention various up-and-coming neighborhoods like Demuth Park that you have the chance to invest in and help make as fabulous as the rest. 

If you want to learn more, check out Glen Nadeau’s 10 Welcoming Neighborhoods: Why Palm Springs Should Be Your Next Home 

Price Points That Won’t Break the Bank 

Yes, Palm Springs is glamorous, but it’s not Beverly Hills pricing. The market has cooled a bit, home prices are now more reasonable again, and there's more inventory all around. Homes here start around $800,000 for chic mid-century masterpieces, with plenty of investment properties available for part-time living or short-term rentals. It’s the kind of place where you can get a tan, sip a Rose Kennedy (the official unofficial gay drink of Palm Springs), and watch your property value soar – all in a day's work.

Investment Opportunities Galore 

Even if you can’t commit to full-time living, Palm Springs is an investor’s paradise. With year-round tourism, short-term rental properties are hotter than the desert sun. And let’s be real – who doesn’t want to own a piece of gay paradise? The ROI on vacation rentals here can help fund those dreamy European getaways. Plus, it can be a smart way to build wealth for retirement – even serving as a future retirement home where you can eventually live full-time.

Open Houses are the New Sunday Funday 

Next time you’re in town, skip the poolside daiquiris for an afternoon of open house hopping. It’s not just a way to scout for real estate – it’s practically a free mini Modernism Week event. Palm Springs open houses are where you’ll meet future neighbors, potential new besties, and maybe even get inspired to redesign your next desert home.

Meet Glen – Your Palm Springs Real Estate BFF 

If you’re ready or even curious about what opportunities might exist for you here, Glen Nadeau – one half of The Palm Springs Guys – is the go-to gay local Realtor in town. And we’re not just being biased. He’s been a top-producing Real Estate Agent here since 2023. And since he’s with COMPASS – the #1 ranked brokerage in the country – Glen takes great pride in knowing that his clients are in such good hands with the most robust resources on the market available to them.

Glen loves connecting and talking shop. Whether you’re curious about neighborhoods, need help navigating the market, or just want to dish about the best spots in town – don’t be shy, reach out to Glen any time. He’s lovable, knowledgeable, and ready to help you on your real estate journey. He promises to give you a much more targeted answer than ChatGPT, Google or the news ever will.

Visit, Invest, or Stay for Good 

Thinking about selling your home or just curious about its value? Head over to Glen’s Home Valuation page for a free home valuation, and get an accurate estimate from a local expert of what your property is worth in today’s market.

The new year is a time for fresh starts and bold decisions. Whether you’re buying your dream home or selling to embrace new opportunities, getting prepared now will set you up for success in 2025.

Even if you’re not ready to make the big move, Palm Springs is always worth a visit (or two, or ten). With endless sunny days, vibrant LGBTQ+ events, and the friendliest folks you’ll ever meet, Palm Springs is a place where community, culture, and connection thrive. Whether you come for a weekend or a lifetime, the desert welcomes you with open arms and the promise of unforgettable experiences. Embrace the journey, and let Palm Springs become a meaningful part of your next chapter.

How Palm Springs Became the Safest LGBTQ+ Place in America

Discover why LGBTQ+ Americans are flocking to Palm Springs – a vibrant oasis where safety, inclusivity, and community meet. Explore the city’s rich LGBTQ+ culture, supportive infrastructure, and investment opportunities from our local gay perspective.

When the world feels more like a bad sequel than a hopeful reboot, LGBTQ+ Americans are doing what they do best – securing their promising futures. Enter Palm Springs, California, a city so welcoming it will greet you with a Pride flag and a martini as soon as you arrive. This desert oasis has become our fulltime home – and it’s the place to be right now for those looking to combine safety, community, and endless sunshine.

Here’s why gay men and the broader LGBTQ+ community are packing their bags for Palm Springs faster than they can say, “Get me the F**K out of here!”

A Safe Haven in Tumultuous Times

It’s no secret that political turbulence has left many LGBTQ+ individuals questioning their safety. With threats like Project 2025 looming and human rights hanging in the balance, finding a sanctuary isn’t just a luxury – it’s a necessity. 

Palm Springs shines as a beacon of hope now more than ever. Nearly 40% of the city’s population identifies as LGBTQ+, making it truly one of the most inclusive places in America. Here, you’re not just tolerated – you are embraced and celebrated.

A City That Says ‘No’ to Hate (and Yes to Drag!)

While many places in the U.S. are entangled in debates over LGBTQ+ rights, Palm Springs is busy doubling down on inclusivity. Case in point? The City of Palm Springs recently declared itself a sanctuary for drag performers – a bold move that screams in response to drag bans as, “Not here, not ever.” 

Between local government and police force, our city's local leadership is unapologetically progressive, prioritizing policies that protect residents and foster a sense of belonging.

The Heart of LGBTQ+ History and Culture

Palm Springs is steeped in LGBTQ+ history that’s as rich as its present culture. From historical landmarks to art galleries and museums, the city celebrates its roots in ways that keep the spirit of resilience alive.

Even events like Palm Springs Pride festival and the legendary White Party take things up a notch, blending activism and celebration seamlessly. Living here is safe and downright joyful. And in case you’re wondering, yes, you can wear your short shorts at the grocery store.

Supportive Infrastructure Tailored to You

Safety is about acceptance and resources. Palm Springs delivers with a slew of LGBTQ+ organizations like The LGBTQ Center of the Desert, offering everything from mental health services to social engagement opportunities. Whether you’re seeking a sense of community or just someone to rave about the new season of Drag Race with, you’ll find it here.

Plus, local businesses go the extra mile to ensure inclusivity, from healthcare providers like DAP Health who understand your needs to boutique hotels that cater to your lifestyle. 

Investing in Your Future: The Real Estate Advantage

Now, let’s talk dollars and cents – because safety and inclusivity aside, Palm Springs is a smart financial move too. Real estate in inclusive cities is in demand, and Palm Springs is no exception. Buying property here is both an investment in your peace of mind and in your future.

From mid-century modern masterpieces to cozy desert retreats, the city’s housing market offers something for every taste. And let’s be real – your Zoom meetings will hit differently working remotely from somewhere you love (and with a palm tree backdrop).

Make the Move, Gurrrlll

If you’re curious to learn more about our vibrant LGBTQ+ community here in Palm Springs, check out our other articles 10 Welcoming Neighborhoods: Why Palm Springs Should Be Your Next Home and Palm Springs LGBTQ+ Community: What You Need To Know.

Palm Springs is a place where you can be yourself unapologetically, surrounded by a community that lifts you up and celebrates your journey. Whether you’re looking for safety, connection, or the perfect spot for a pool party – Palm Springs has it all. Your best gay life awaits you here… 

What other questions do you have?

Consider an experienced and knowledgeable local realtor (like me) to help you make sense of things.

If you’re ready to buy and/or sell yourself, I look forward to assisting you. I promise to give you a much more targeted answer than ChatGPT, Google or the news will.

So, What's The T?

Why the Palm Springs Guys? The truth (the T) is that we wanted to create the kind of platform we were originally looking for ourselves before we moved here. There are lots of great resources available for all things gay here in Palm Springs, but none of them offered the kind of local flavor and local intel in one place that we were seeking…

*If you’re as obsessed with RuPaul's Drag Race as we are, you already know that 'The T' is another term for 'the Truth.'
If you didn’t know, well, you’re welcome.

Hey, Guys! We are Gregory and Glen (aka the Palm Springs Guys).

Consider us your new local guides to Gay Palm Springs. We’re pretty new to the high desert ourselves, so we invite you to explore the wonders of this Gaytropolis along with us, hand-in-hand (aww).

Why the Palm Springs Guys? The truth (the T) is that we wanted to create the kind of platform we were originally looking for ourselves before we moved here. There are lots of great resources available for all things gay here in Palm Springs, but none of them offered the kind of streamlined local flavor in one place that we were seeking. The Palm Springs Guys is our take on Gay Palm Springs!

While we may be new full-timers here ourselves, we hope our fresh perspective and new discoveries will become your secret weapon to Gay Palm Springs travel and pleasure. We can’t wait to share everything we learn with you along the way – all the hidden gems and the not-to-be-missed – so that you can eat, play, and stay gay here in the greater Palm Springs desert of Southern California.

The best way to follow along is through our What's The T? newsletter (which you can sign up for below)…

Like you, the pandemic served up some serious transitional realness for Glen and I – from Maryland to Marilyn (with a few places in between). If you’re curious to learn more about our backstory, check out our about page.

For now, here's some food for deep thought. After three (3) months in Palm Springs now, we are surrounded by shining examples of pride everywhere we go. Beautiful layers of pride to replace outdated layers of shame.

We’ve come a long way as gay men, but there’s still so much shame we carry in the queer community. That’s why it matters to celebrate who we are. That’s why gay communities that flourish in destinations like Palm Springs are so important – and why destinations like Palm Springs are only baby steps in the right direction in acknowledging generations of shame and struggle.

Glen and I are 40 years old now. We’ve been lucky in both our lives, but we’re finally PROUD to be who we are. We are no longer ashamed – and we’re reminded of that every day out here so far.

Come visit us sometime!

Cheers,
Glen & Gregory, The Palm Springs Guys
