This is sort of an old-fashioned "gay pride" shop filled with flags and buttons and t-shirts. I can't imagine that kids still buy these items nowadays, but the large selection of adult videos and magazines is clearly a draw. With the few gay-themed books and films now available at every mainstream bookstore and video store, Outloud seems like an icon of a long-gone era. It's kind of like watching a modern gay pride parade. It's charming, but nobody seems to know what the point is. I never really buy anything there. It's one of those places that you want to root for, but in the shadow of the new Hustler Hollywood, it just seems destined for oblivion.
Pros: Nostalgia

Needs more space. more room to meet others...more lesbian stuff, but a wonderful place to browse. Almost never leave w/o buying something, and the fellows are welcoming.
Pros: Variety, Customer Service, Hours
Cons: Very Limited parking, Prices, No place to sit&chat
