WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- The Avenues: Art, Fashion & Design District in West Hollywood announces its new name: West Hollywood Design District.

Geographically distinct, the new name better reflects the district location and design-forward experience to national and international visitors. The change is effective immediately.

West Hollywood Design District board chair Darren Gold said of the change:

Could gays of the 1980s imagine what it would be like to be gay in 2013? From the Supreme Court pondering marriage equality to NFL players weighing how best to come out, the way we're gay today is nothing like it's ever been before.

And for that modern gay man, West Hollywood may not be the mecca it once was. Instead, young gays are flocking to Silver Lake and other low-key Eastside neighborhoods.

Frank Rodriguez argues as much: "The gay ghetto is dead," he declares to me one morning, gesturing at his phone. "This," he says, "is what's replaced it."

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. – At least two gay men are among the 13 people who have died of meningitis in Los Angeles County in the past 15 months.
