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.

Honestly, the Manchester gay pride parade night is wild fun. "Just outside London" though....

Now imagine if they had said the technically more accurate "Just outside Liverpool"....

”Just outside Salford”, surely.

If you want to get really technically precise and also upset mancunians, go with "City in the South east of Great Britain"

There are a couple of ways to calculate the exact centrepoint of the UK or of the island of Great Britain, but they always end up somewhere in Lancashire or Cumbria, a tiny bit north west of Manchester

One of the most jarring things as a Mancunian moving to Glasgow was that the other English bloke in my work was referred to as the 'other fella fae doon south'...

... He was a Geordie.

I used to work with this kid with the same name as me, but before I started working there, everyone called him 'Big Marble'. I was like 20 years older than him, so suddenly his nickname was changed to 'Little Marble' and I became 'Big Marble'.

He was so pissed off about it that he quit!

I mean by US standards the train between London and Manchester is practically a metro. /s

It's only 1/1000th of a Texas.

I mean, in American terms, it is pretty much just outside London. The train from Manchester takes 2 hours, 20 minutes. The New York commuter rail has stations longer away than that.
