Discover The Most Gay-friendly Cities In The World: Reykjavik Takes The Lead

Reykjavik, Iceland, has emerged victorious in a recent global study that ranked the top queer-friendly capitals in the world.

A study by Emisil, a company that supports the Female to Male FTM community, showed that Reykjavik outshines other capitals, exhibiting how progressive policies and community engagement shape a truly supportive environment.

The findings evaluated inclusivity, safety, affordability and social vibrancy across various countries, drawing from five core metrics: equality index, safety index, cost of living and rent index and the number of LGBTQ bars, clubs and events.

Reykjavik scored an impressive equality index of 93 and a safety index of 74.6, firmly establishing the city as a safe haven for its LGBTQ residents and visitors since the legalisation of same-sex marriage in 2010.

Cities that prioritise equality and safety for LGBTQ individuals build communities where people can thrive socially, culturally and economically, said a spokesperson from Emisil.
