3. New York City, USA – 23 points
The Big Apple’s diversity does not just stop with the diversity in cultures; New York City is also one of the top gayborhoods in the world. After all, New York City is one of the birthplaces of the gay rights movement; and as such, NYC’s historical significance to the LGBTQ movement are remembered in landmarks like the Harvey Milk School, Christopher Street, and the Lesbian Herstory Archives. The neighborhoods, especially in West Village and Chelsea areas, are some of the most gay-friendly communities in America. But Broadway alone would have sufficed to have New York City included on the list of the world’s most gay-friendly.
