It's hard to find good dating material when none exists around you. It's easier when you're in a kick ass fun neighborhood (almost all gay ghettos I've seen are some of the best areas of the city) where you're surrounded by people who are open to gays or are gay themselves and available to date and share their love. You can live around all the peace loving and open minded straight people you want, but it's not going to help you with your love life or find a partner. That's where the gay ghetto comes in very helpful. Strength in numbers. There's a reason gay people in tiny towns don't stick around, and it's not just cause they feel judged or that people don't accept them.
One of the reasons I moved to Chicago was to be closer to an area that had what I'm looking for in life as a gay person. I certainly wasn't moving here to run away from anything or to isolate myself with a bunch of gay people. I'm not isolated at all.

Actually moving away from general society to live in a gay ghetto is still "isolating"....the process does work both ways.
