Areas with a higher concentration of queer population are a well-established feature of the spatial structure in major cities across the Global North. However, there is a conspicuous lack of research on queer population within post-socialist cities. This paper addresses this gap by exploring the possibility of a higher concentration of queer men population in the Croatia’s capital, Zagreb. Based on the analysis of various spatial datasets, we assumed the existence of a queer men’s residential core in Zagreb, described its position within the city’s spatial structure, and examined the spatial dynamics of its development. Our findings reveal that the urban geography of Zagreb is less heterosexual than is usually perceived. Additionally, we demonstrate how the global patterns of the queer community spatialization have adapted within the post-socialist context with all its local specificities that enabled the unique integration of queer man spaces into Zagreb’s post-socialist urban structure.
