If I wasn't live in Toronto...(I mean sure it's great...Eaton Centre, Starbucks left right and centre, and Nathan Phillip Square) I would be in what I consider the gay capital of the world--ZURICH, SWITZERLAND!!!! And Here's why!
Nobody does fierce Gay Pride festivals like the Swiss! Dayum! They are a leader in solid gay fierceness and they do NOT blend in!*Euro Pride 2009 took place this year in Zurich...H-E-L-L-O!
*The famed Black and White parties, and the Follies au Lac (a gay party at Lake Zurich)
*their gay and lesbian film festival
*Places where politicians and crossdressers all pass through --the El Greco cafe, Kronenhalle, Nooba, the famed Rathaus-Cafe, Restaurant du-Theatre, Europe's oldest gay bar Restaurant-Bar-Barfusser (http://www.barfuesser.ch/), Sento.
*the GAY club party scene...Boyahkasha, Club AAAH! (real name, I swear), Club T&M (the oldest gay club in Switzerland), Rage and Sector C, Tanzleila's lesbian women-only bar and We Are Famous http://www.wearefamous.ch/. (And G-Lounge, a gay bar).
-Swiss peeps speak German, English and French, and Dutch so pick up a dictionary and herankommen!
One great thing for us dog-loving gays and lesbians...Zurich is DOG FRIENDLY. Yes, dogs go everywhere from trains and trams to restaurants and bars and shops without anybody raising an eyebrow.
Stroll through narrow and winding Old Town alleys, over cobblestone streets and by medieval residential towers, past houses surrounded by legends, picturesque bay windows, ruins of Roman baths and much more. (From Marie Claire)
The streets are filled with cross dressers, elder dames in hats and diamond chokers walking their Chihuahuas, hardcore lesbians with sexy dykey short haircuts and eyebrow piercings and tons and tons of gorgeous homosexuals flocking around from the Rhine Falls to the Bahnhofstrasse. I know, I want to book my flight too! ;)
