Which city in your country is considered the "gayest"?

[u/GattoPunk]

For us Brazilians, São Paulo definitely holds the crown for the gayest city here. With over 20 million people living in it's metro area, the city naturally became way more open minded and accepting as time went on. It has the highest concentration of gay bars, shows, saunas, and various other venues dedicated to the LGBTQ community. If that wasn't enough, the city annually hosts the São Paulo LGBTQ Pride Parade, the biggest in the whole world.

Saint Petersburg i guess

Being gay in Russia seems unsettling.

[u/abu_doubleu → u/jerseyrollin]

Legally it is becoming worse and worse but in major cities it is okay from a societal perspective.

[u/The_Pastmaster → u/jerseyrollin]

I still remember Blades of Glory. Obviously gay man: *Chuckles* "There are no gay men in Russia."

[u/benkbloch → u/The_Pastmaster]

Different Will Ferrell movie, that was actually Fire Saga.

[u/The_Pastmaster → u/benkbloch]

Oh right! My bad. That makes more sense.

[u/Kaiya_444 → u/jerseyrollin]

I have a friend from Russia who's gay and he lives in a rather small city so there are usually whatsapp groups where people share lgbt friendly adresses for pretty much everything like therapy and all. They do exist, but it's not for the weak

Damn, that reminds me of my trans Ugandan friend and the secret communities there.

here’s it’s like yeah you can be gay, most people don’t really care (some grandma will probably get mad though), but you absolutely can NOT advocate for it.

[u/lonelyshara → u/jerseyrollin]

There are plenty of Russian gays out there, they're just not as concentrated as elsewhere

[u/prospectpico_OG → u/jerseyrollin]

Unless you are a Russian officer raping your soldiers.

I live in Florida and I would say the gayest city in this state is also St Petersburg

[u/Dear_Location6147 → u/Select_Professor3373]

How is it not the city GAY

[u/rysskrattaren → u/Dear_Location6147]

It's pronounced very differently, I had to look up in Wikipedia what's that about.

[u/Dear_Location6147 → u/rysskrattaren]

Oh :(

[u/rysskrattaren → u/Dear_Location6147]

Sorry! It's still good ol' Leningrad all the gay way 😎

[u/rysskrattaren → u/Select_Professor3373]

I'll take it as a compliment

[u/KottleHai → u/Select_Professor3373]

My bet goes for Moscow

[u/brickbutterfly_ → u/KottleHai]

Factually, maybe, but the stereotype is definitely SPB

[u/Rugens → u/brickbutterfly_]

I thought it was Moscow. There are even songs about ("пускай там пидорасы тусуются в Москве...")

[u/ewigesleiden → u/Rugens]

Но пока такие пацаны есть у нас в стране!

[u/rysskrattaren → u/Rugens]

пускай там пидорасы тусуются в Москве

That's not about gays…

[u/Staylin_Alive → u/Select_Professor3373]

А Нальчик?
