A Gay Vacation Guide For Denmark

By Howie Holben


Denmark, like the other Scandinavian countries has a lot to offer to anyone that is planning to enjoy a gay trips to Denmark and in particular this is one country that offers its gay population many rights and the Danish people too show a lot of tolerance toward homosexuals who are not treated too differently from straight people. As early as in 1933 the country went ahead and legalized homosexuality and then it went a step further and lowered the age for sex to just fifteen years and this age limit applied in the case of straight sex as well as gay sex. So, as long as a person is fifteen years of age there is nothing to stop them from having sex.

In Denmark, gays are also allowed to serve in the Danish military while under the country's laws, people are prohibited from indulging in crimes based on hate which means that even if you don't tolerate gay lifestyles you are not allowed to take the law into your own hands and commit a crime against gays. In 1989 Danish laws allowed for marriages among gays and the parliament of that country also held discussions about various aspects of being gay.

The main gay destination in Denmark is the country's capital city Copenhagen which is a city that has a very vibrant lifestyle - both among gays and normal heterosexuals. Finding gay hangouts and gays is not difficult and if you need some help in this regard you can check out Lonely Planet that offers much useful information.

Copenhagen or the fairy city is known for the vibrancy of its gay life that happens to be pretty widespread and in particular you need to check out Body Bio sex club and then you can check out LBL-Ungdom gay youth club as well. Other than that, there is the Pride festival that is held in Copenhagen on an annual basis and in addition there is a Queer Festival, and the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival too sees many gays coming here to Copenhagen to take in this kind of fare.

Most gays that live in Copenhagen tend to stay in the old part of the city where there is much to entertain the gays including fun and entertainment that is centered in just a single square kilometer of the city. About 80 years ago, Copenhagen saw its first gay bar that thrives today even though many other bars and cafes catering to gays have sprung up in the intervening years.

Some examples of what you can get here if you are a gay include the Body Bio sex club and then there is also the LBL-Ungdom gay youth group as well as the Queer Festival and there is even a Gay and Lesbian Film Festival that is very popular among gays.

The Copenhagen Pride Festival is held in Copenhagen annually in the month of August and this is an event that attracts numerous gays from other Scandinavian countries as well as from different parts of the world.

To sum up, if you wish to enjoy gay tours to Denmark it is necessary to come to Copenhagen that has the most to offer to gays. Copenhagen offers maximum opportunities for gays to meet each other and to otherwise find something interesting to do and see.
