Gay travellers n feel nfint gog here that they’ll be able to enjoy everythg this forward-thkg untry has to offer and more! Homosexualy has been legal Fland sce 1971 and was taken off the list of registered illns 1981, which was a siar time to other European untri.

In 1999 there was a revisn of the Crimal Co rultg the same age of nsent for homosexual sex as for heterosexual sex and the prohibn of “promotn of homosexualy” was removed. Although an ial bill was voted down 2013, an amendment to the nstutn meant that cizen’s iativ wh at least 50 thoand signatori had to be nsired Parliament – so when a civil mpaign lled Tahdon2013 (“I do 2013”) got over 100, 000 onle signatur on the first day, the way was paved for the legalizatn of gay marriage.

GAY HELSKI

Dpe this last negative pot, Fland is still a fabulo statn for gay travellers, wh tons to disver and explore.

In a untry where ‘even the stamps are gay’ (one of the most famo erotic artists is a Fnish natnal in and his Tom of Fland work is often ed for bed lens or towels), ’s unsurprisg that you n be as open about your sexualy as you want to be. Gay travellers will not receive any hostile wel or negativy whether they’re the cy or the untrysi. Although more ral areas tend to be more nservative the world over, here Fland they are still very progrsive – travellers will simply fd fewer all-night gay dance clubs the small, isolated villag, as you might image!

The pal of Helski is naturally a popular gay statn wh a wealth of gay-iendly f, rtrants, hotels, nightclubs, snas and hangouts. Of urse, ’s also always worth visg the magil area of Lapland – gay, straight, unirn, everyone will appreciate the wild mystery of this northern pot.

As you would expect om a progrsive place, there is really no such thg as a gay uniendly hotel. Gay travellers won’t need to do excsive rearch or shell out lots of money orr to ensure they’re stayg somewhere that they’ll be accepted; there’s a warm wele and non-prejudiced service everyone. Of urse, if LGBT travellers want exclively or specifilly gay-iendly acmodatn, that is also an optn.

In Helski, for example, hotels the Kall District will be close to all the attractns of the gay scene so travellers will fd a higher proportn of fellow gay travellers there. Explorg the many areas of natural bety, partyg the ci or hopg to experience the Northern Lights Lapland – the are jt a few of the credible activi that gay travellers n enjoy Fland. There’s also a gay film ftival held annually Helski, a yearly Drag Battle and (our favoure) a Drag Bear Race Helski every Sunday.

Gay club nights abound all ci and for the daytime fun there’s a nudist beach or two to check out! Of urse many ci, like Rovaniemi and Oulu Lapland, don’t have many gay bars – but that’s more a statement about how welg every bar and club is Fland, so everyone n be themselv everywhere.

Fland is also famo for s sna culture, although gay travellers should note that there is only one explicly gay sna Helski and overtur tradnal snas will not go down well; addnally, gay snas are not the most popular cisg spots Fland. If travellers do want to ensure a holiday romance or two, gay hook-up apps are monly ed and a great way to meet people to show visors to Fland all the bt of the gay scene.
