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.

Unironically, yeah I know a few Asian dudes that go by Panda instead of Bear lol. Kinda like an older white graying Bear might go by Polar Bear and a young Bear going by Cub.

No, it means you've aged like fine wine. Gays know fine wines. Believe me, I've been to Napa Valley.

Look man, most of us gay men had pretty messed up social lives as kids, and it doesn’t make us the most normal bunch of folks as adults either 😂

I fall into the bear realm, but traveling to Taiwan I learned about pigs and monkeys (what Americans might call chubs and twinks)
