Riga is the pal of Latvia, a former soviet untry northeastern Europe. It was recently the host of the 2015 EuroPri, but jt how gay-iendly is Riga? * latvia lgbt *
As we kicked off our #mygaypri mpaign this summer to promote Gay Pri ci worldwi, Riga beme an unual top choice. ” This was my first imprsn of the gay-iendls of Riga and wasn’t terrible, but wasn’t great.
Later the same day I was off to meet my tour gui along wh other #mygaypri team members, fellow travel blogger Adam om Travels of Adam and Jamie om Gay Star News, our media partner for the mpaign. That night was time to check out the gay scene startg wh Goln, one of Riga’s two gay bars.
Riga’s other gay bar is XXL. The same owners even operate a small gay hotel if that’s your kd of thg. I don’t re if you are a gay untry sger or not.

The gays n seek out their own the gay bars and also feel fortable, while beg somewhat ut, enjoyg all the cy has to offer to all s visors, gays and straights alike.
