Best places for gay men to live south america

Our roundup of the most gay friendly places in Latin America which we loved and where we felt the most welcome. The largest gay Pride event, the hottest boys on the planet, and the most exciting parties! This summed up South America for us. It's a fantastic destination to explore for gay travelers, with a range of beautiful natural scenery, classic world wonders, some of the best gay parties in the world, and the hottest guys you'll ever meet.

Although most countries in Latin America are very Catholic with a socially conservative outlook, we found that most are quickly evolving to embrace their LGBTQ communities. We spent almost 2 years traveling in South America and extending up into Central America and then into Mexico.

These are our 10 favorite gay friendly cities we encountered on our trip where we felt the most welcome, which have the best gay scene and also have the most prominent pride festivals. Heads up: We just wanted to let you know that this post contains affiliate links.

We start this list with the capital city of Chile. Whilst Chile as a country is still very conservative, Santiago is definitely one of the most gay friendly places we visited.

On weekends, there are a handful of large gay clubs to check out. Read more in our gay guide to Santiago. With regards to gay rights, Chile has certainly come a long way since the dark days of the oppressive Pinochet regime. For one, gay marriage was legalized on March 10th,and the country has a comprehensive set of LGBTQ laws in place.

Read more in our interview with Ivan from Santiago about what it's like growing up gay in Chile. Mexico City is a lot of fun, with a huge gay scene. It also has a large annual gay pride event taking place in June, which usually attracts around half a million people. Like Chile, marriage equality is still not yet formally in place nationwide, although, inthe Supreme Court declared a ban on gay marriage to be unconstitutional.

Mexican society is generally very conservative as is evident from the strong opposition to gay marriage. Despite this, inMexico City became the first area in the entire country to issue gay marriage licenses to gay couples. And don't forget of course that this is home to the very handsome Lito and Hernando of the Netflix Sense8 series:.

Our friends at Out Adventures just launched an all-gay tour of Mexico City and its surrounding sites.

We love Buenos Aires for so many reasons. Other than the rich tango culture and delicious steaks, the city has a fun gay scene and is very welcoming to gay visitors.

With regards to gay marriage, Argentina led the pack by becoming the first country in South America to legalize gay marriage in We also love that the government actively supports and funds gay events, in particular, the GNetwork conference every August and the BA Pride in November.

The other reason we love Buenos Aires is because of the renaissance of queer tango. When we visit Buenos Aires we like to book a private airport transfer with Welcome Pickups to get to our accommodation.
