Gaycities amsterdam
What makes a city gay, you ask? Does it mean that it falls in love with another city of the identical gender?
From having visited quite a substantial part of the world as a gay couple, we put together our list of what we think are the main gay capitals of the world. When it comes to how gay friendly a city is, we look at:
- how is the local LGBTQ community treated?
- what is the public's attitude toward its fabulous community?
- what is the queer nightlife like?
- how comfortable is it for gay couples like us to reveal affection in public?
- how epic is their Pride event and other gay events there?
From underground clubs to marching in the streets, each city on this list has a pretty story on how they own become one of the gayest cities in the world. Whether it be a riveting nightlife scene, or simply a community of people with open minds, these cities are our favorite shining pink beacons, which we celebrate!
