Toronto is a wholesome destination in one of the safest and friendliest countries in the world- Canada. Stop by Toronto for *the most* publicized gay pride parade, with parties, markets, and everything needed to fill up a week worth of fun or, explore Toronto's Gay Village neighborhood for some cozy coffee or a night out on the town. Canada is an inclusive and diverse country and we recommend checking out all the major cities for any LGBTQ+ travelers- Montreal and Vancouver both have thriving LGBTQ+ scenes.

Canada is often known as a welcoming place for people of all kinds of backgrounds, and this is definitely true for the LGBTQIA+ community. With a Prime Minister that is often found at the front of the Pride parades waving a transgender flag, this country sets a positive example of creating spaces that are safe for LGBTQIA+ folks, and Toronto is no exception. With its own official “Gay Village” between Church and Wellesley streets, this area has become a fixture for the Toronto city life.
