Gay pride in Reykjavík, Iceland, 2013. Ómar Óskarsson
The Lonely Planet's 'Best in Travel 2015' lists Reykjavík in ninth place for the ten gay-friendliest cities in the world. The story made British newspaper The Independent today and the book hits stores tomorrow.
Reykjavik is described as, „one of the friendliest places and most inclusive on Earth. In 2015, Reykjavik will host its 17th Gay Pride march (one of Europe's oldest queer parades), and the 11th Bears on Ice event. Iceland also has some of the world's most progressive laws. In 2006, same-sex couples were granted equal rights with their heterosexual counterparts without limitation.“
At number one on the list of the gay-friendliest cities is Copenhagen, second is New-Zealand and in third place is Toronto.
