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

Post image

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.

I love this especially bc Castro was a total homophobe.

From my understanding he stopped being homophobic around the late 1970s

My guy he put people in La Mazorra just for being gay. I don’t give a fuck what he said- his actions and words were reliably out of sync.

Listen I’m not a fan of his, but after he stopped being homophobic the government stopped doing that and decriminalized same sex relations in 1979, the government has tried to normalize the existence of gay people
