What makes a capital gay, you ask? Does it imply that it falls in love with another city of the same gender?
From having visited quite a substantial part of the world as a gay couple, we put together our list of what we think are the main homosexual capitals of the world. When it comes to how gay friendly a city is, we look at:
- how is the local LGBTQ community treated?
- what is the public's attitude toward its fabulous community?
- what is the queer nightlife like?
- how comfortable is it for male lover couples like us to show care in public?

Whether it be a riveting nightlife scene, or simply a collective of people with open minds, these cities are our favorite shining pink beacons, which we celebrate!
