After decades of standing at the forefront of gay culture, it continues to be globally recognised as one of the most progressive and LGBTQ+ friendly cities in the world. The birthplace of the rainbow pride flag and home to one of the world’s largest LGBTQ+ communities and best Pride Parades in the world, San Fran is a trailblazing symbol of LGBTQ+ activism.
As the first city in the USA to legalise gay marriage and elect an openly gay official (Harvey Milk), San Francisco is a true gay icon.
