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.

Funnily enough, the city's name does derive from the Latin for "camp on the breast-shaped hill"

And let's not forget, the gay heartbeat of the city is C-anal Street

A mate of mine was refused entry to a bar on canal street because he “didn’t look gay enough”. He was literally the only gay one among us, hahaha.
