To state the obvious, Canada is a huge place, not just by geography but culturally, and, in its own way, it shows many sides when it welcomes you as an LGBT+ visitor.
First: legals: same sex ‘homosexual’ activity allowed since 1969. Marriage since 2005.
Whether across the vast wilderness of the western provinces, French speaking Quebec or the Atlantic provinces, Canada’s cities and towns make a welcoming and diverse place for LGBT+ people wherever you come from and wherever you hit in this huge country.
The two gay metropolises are Toronto and Montreal; they define culturally English and French-speaking Canada and both offer great places to start for the European traveller from their annual Pride festivals to their cosmopolitan gay friendly community. But don’t miss out on the other gay-friendly cities if your budget allows. Quebec City and Vancouver offer smaller but friendly scenes and the country’s breath-taking scenery deserves a trip in any case - whether you are fully out gay or still exploring your sexuality. Go for it and enjoy safely.
