6. Palm Springs, USA – 14 points (tie)
Los Angeles is not the only city in California that makes it to our list of the most gay-friendly cities in the world. Palm Springs, just outside of LA, is also a favorite hub for the LGBTQ community. In 2013, Palm Springs bested all other cities in America as the most gay-friendly city thanks to the LGBTQ municipal laws, policies, and establishments that have helped grow its gay residents.
