Wilton Manors is the gay neighborhood in Ft Lauderdale and the center of gay nightlife.
That said - it’s really depressing & tacky, unless you really enjoy strip malls loaded with cheap stuff.  It does not have the charm of other gay neighborhoods in large urban areas.  It’s especially ugly during the day.  If being in the middle of that is a priority- the yes, stay in Wilton Manors.
The main attraction in Ft Lauderdale is the beach - and the beach is lovely, albeit surrounded by tacky retail and restaurants (it’s completely different than South Beach and not nearly as sophisticated).  It’s not visually depressing like Wilton Manors during the day - just don’t expect any quality shopping or dining.  
Getting to the beach in Ft L is a schlep and you need to bring almost everything with you. Way easier to stay close to beach and then go to Wilton at night.  If you’re not a beach person, then a different calculation and I’d probably skip Ft Lauderdale entirely. 

It rains almost every day in the afternoon from May through October with lots of heat & humidity.  There’s a pervasive odor and dampness almost everywhere during those months - especially in hotels mixed with their cleaning supplies.  It’s not exactly comfortable. Choose your time to visit wisely.
