We get it, you vote for Iniciativa Liberal. Those socio-economic factors have no direct correlation with the city's friendliness to the LGBTQ+ community and I can't trust a ranking with cities from Brazil, Mexico and India being placed so high compared to European cities. 

Puerto Vallerta is probably the gayest city on earth and Mexico is full of gays.  I’m surprised Mexico City isn’t on the list considering locals are more receptive to gay PDA than anything I’ve ever seen in NYC.  Brazil seems to have an abnormally high population of gay men, especially in Rio and Sao Paulo.

India is the only country on this list that makes absolutely zero sense.  None of my Indian friends have anything remotely positive to say about the way LGBTQ+ Indians are treated. 

Re: Lisbon, that other user didn’t lie.  Media is shoving it down our throats.  It feels like everyone I know either has a trip to Portugal planned or is just coming back from one.  NY Times recently had a big front page article on Lisbon as well, and their new super relaxed digital nomad visa is aimed at making more foreigners move there to spend money.  The country itself is like… somewhere stuck between 1960 and 1990.  It’s beautiful but there are so many problems.

 I think there was an article about people leaving Portugal because it didn't live up to the hype people were placing on it. I think Portugal is a beautiful country, but it has it's issues like everywhere else. Some people just romanticise it too much.

This topic being Portuguese ppl dragging an defending the country wasn't something i expected before coming in lmao. 

I'm all for it as a portuguese gay. keep at it.

[tost1]

Amsterdam?

[YellowRibbon]

Santiago at #11... Mhmmm 

[BGKC]

Seems relatively accurate. San Fran & Barcelona should be much higher as opposed to it being on par with Athens though

How is their comment IL-esque? The main faction against gentrification is the PCP and Bloco.

 

If they were an IL supporter, they'd be saying something like "well, there only used to live seven people in all of Lisbon 20 years ago, so it's actually a good thing that the city has become a glorified AirBnb. Also, the problem is the number of houses!!11! Damn you, Kostaline!!11"

Toronto should be top 5

It's LGBT friendly because nobody here has any energy to hate. Everyone's depressed about the housing situation and cost of living

India? INDIA?

What in the world

[harwee]

Amsterdam and San Francisco dropping like large balls. They're not making a comeback. I believe it.

 

 

I like seeing some unexpected cities like Hyderabad India and Santiago, Chile

[Bethenny Frankel]

Chicago, Amsterdam and DC should all be on there

[Patient Zero]

I understand the lack of Dutch and German cities. They've been overtaken by (closeted) Arabs and Turks and they're anti lgbtq+ as feck. Muslims/religion really have ruined most of the big cities here.

There was Portugal hype at one point? When? 

Since a few years now.. especially since the pandemic hit. It’s the trendy place for remote workers from 1st world countries, there’s been a lot of articles in major newspapers praising the country. But then people get disappointed when they arrive there, the comments here are a kii: https://nomadlist.com/reviews/lisbon

Why is it in shambles? Never been there but people do talk here about Lisbon like it's a promised land so I'm curious what's the tea

It’s cute to visit but a nightmare to live. Poorest country of Western Europe,  miserable salaries, poor infrastructure, one of the most expensive cities to rent a flat in Europe (it’s now more expensive than Madrid and Paris and the minimum salary is 700€ when a room in average is 500€). There’s a political crisis where every public service is going on strikes and the extreme right is growing rapidly. It has been sold to rich people who get special visas from the government so that they don’t pay taxes. All the locals want to leave, besides the ones coming from rich families.

Hmm I literally can’t stand iniciativa liberal just like I can’t stand any right leaning party. Nothing I said even pertains to that  .
 

The economic correlation doesn’t have to do with the topic but when Portugal is praised for being lgbtq+ friendly it’s just like when  it’s praised for its economic prosperity, it’s all smoke and mirrors just because the law says we’re protected meanwhile the Portuguese are a bunch of homophobic losers. I will consider Portugal lgbtq+ friendly when I visit there and I don’t get called a ****** or when my fem friends can walk freely without being insulted and looked at as if they are killing someone just because they are wearing a crop top. I literally bring my straightest clothes whenever I visit so I don’t feel uncomfortable with the looks and comments

- Quite miserable and depressed Portuguese population overall

These nomads have no self-awareness whatsoever, it's crazy.

Honestly I would recommend everyone to try Porto instead, you’ll find nice houses/appartments, in good shape and afgordable, better food, better traffic, a still vibrant startup scene if you care about it, nicer architecture, and a better experience overall. I find Porto more cosmopolitan than Lisbon.

They're spreading.

 

Braga is already so expensive, I don't even wanna imagine the prices here if they get bored of Porto and move up North.

This makes no sense. As NYC is ranked as #1, and the NYC metro area has the largest Muslim population in the Western Hemisphere along with a larger foreign born population, one of the few pluralistic populations as there isn't a racial majority.

 

With all that said, NYC with its large Muslim and Middle Eastern population it wouldn't even be ranked.

I want to say New Orleans should be on this list; your typical New Orleanian is just all about having a good time. New Orleans is an anomaly that has an interesting pocket of people.
