We have traveled to untri wh anti-gay laws and refe to boytt untri for that reason. And, y, acrdg to many sourc, The Netherlands is one of the most LGBT-iendly statns the world (rankg #14 on the Spartac Gay Inx 2021). Beg gay has been legal sce 1811, and 2001 the Netherlands beme the first untry the world to legalize marriage for all upl, regardls of genr.
And strangely, homo (Dutch for gay) is a curse word often ed by Dutchi. Beg gay still isn’t as ‘normal’ as beg straight, pecially not Roxanne’s small hometown….
It feels like Amsterdam has moved past gaybourhoods – ’s now a happy mix of everythg. A Gay Traveler’s Experience.
