View postLGBTQ Pride Month: 10 gay-friendly destinations in Latin America and Brazil
LGBTQ Pride Month began its history on June 28, , in New York City. In the early hours of that day, police officers invaded a gay block called The Stonewall Inn and arrested several people, especially transvestites and flamboyant queens, for being dressed in clothing of the opposite sex. The LGBTQ community was at Stonewall for several days to protest for the right to be who they are. This event started a series of political and social discussions and culminated in a worldwide movement to fight for the rights of LGBTQ community members. The event is the reason why we celebrate Pride Month in June.
Today, after years of struggle and demonstrate, the world is closer to accepting and including people of different identities and sexualities. While it’s still not perfect and there’s a long way to go, this progress is still definitely something worth celebrating!
Fun fact: summers aren’t just about Movement events. Since , the 10th of August every year has been Earth LGBTQ+ Tourism Day. This is a special daytime where businesses and organisations in the tourism industry come together to employ tourism as a tool

You&#;ll interaction significant differences in Queer acceptance across Latin America. The region combines linear hotspots with more conservative areas, creating a varied landscape for gay travelers.
Argentina and Uruguay direct the region in Homosexual rights. Buenos Aires boasts Latin America&#;s most developed gay scene, centered in the Palermo and San Telmo districts. You can enjoy numerous gay bars, clubs, and LGBTQ+-owned businesses throughout the city.
