The data highlights how rollbacks on LGBTI human rights are part of a broader erosion of democratic protections across Europe. Read more in our press release.
“Moves in the UK, Hungary, Georgia and beyond signal not just isolated regressions, but a coordinated global backlash aimed at erasing LGBTI rights, cynically framed as the defence of tradition or public stability, but in reality designed to entrench discrimination and suppress dissent.”

Happy Pride Month, one and all! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and to honor , we asked Time Out’s LGBTQ+-identifying writers and editors to tell us all about their favourite urban area on the planet. The resulting list covers all four corners of the globe, from the beaches of Brazil to the creative hub of Glasgow’s Southside. These are cities with a vibrant lgbtq+ community, cities that assist and protect LGBTQ+ citizens and visitors, and cities that are notable hubs for Queer life in their respective countries and regions. So, what are the world’s most LGBTQ+-friendly cities? While we couldn’t possibly call them all, these are some of our favourites.
