The Highs & Lows of Being an LGBTQ+ 온라인 카지노 게임

Every June, the world celebrates Pride Month with rainbow flags and lavish parades. But while members of the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer*, etc.) community can openly share their identity in some countries and cities around the world, other destinations are not as welcoming.

Before they embark on their adventure, it can be helpful for LGBTQ+ expats to know what to expect when living abroad. Here카지노 게임 컬렉션�s what our followers on Instagram shared about their experiences living abroad while being queer.

Things Are Getting Better in Brazil

Brazil is a country of ups and downs for members of the LGBTQ+ community. Due to its size and varied regions, there are many areas that are very friendly towards queer people. This is especially the case in big cities.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I live in São Paulo, which is a rather open city regarding the LGBTQIAP+ community. We have the biggest Pride Parade in the world,카지노 게임 컬렉션� one of our Ambassadors there shared with us. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�But some parts of the city are not safe.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Still, queer expats can find their niche in Brazil. Civil unions between same-sex couples have been recognized there since 2011, and same-sex marriage became legal in 2013. São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasilia have thriving LGBTQ+ communities and organizations that advocate for equality.

Our Ambassador pays attention to what카지노 게임 컬렉션�s going on in his 카지노게임사이트 Community to make sure everyone who attends the events feels safe and welcome. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Although here in São Paulo things are getting better, as an 카지노게임사이트 Ambassador, I always keep an eye out for our LGBTQIAP+ members, in case there are any negative comments or attitudes of non-acceptance.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Despite several legal advancements, Brazil has one of the highest rates of transgender murders in the world. And even those who identify with the gender that was assigned to them at birth often face discrimination and violence. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I believe one thing worth mentioning is that still today, there are a lot of places where we worry about our safety, our survival, and sometimes we are scared of physical violence.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

His past expat experience, outside his home country of Brazil, was very eye opening. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�While I lived in New York, I saw that there was a great sense of community among LGBTQIAP+ people. I went to a panel at New York Comic Con about the queer community, and I learned a lot, so I started going to workshop classes, and the community was really nice.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

In the end, his time in New York also inspired how he now runs the 카지노게임사이트 São Paulo Community. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Being a foreigner myself, it felt really nice when people started inviting me to discover new places in New York. For me it was the first time that I had this feeling of community 카지노 게임 컬렉션� of feeling welcome, safe, and to help and be helped.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Bigger Struggles in Tunisia

Unlike LGBTQ+ expats in Brazil who can find their community in bigger cities, those in Tunisia often face an uphill battle. Despite it being more progressive than other countries in the region in some ways, homosexuality is still illegal in Tunisia. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Life in Tunisia for LGBTQ+ people is really difficult and scary, simply because there카지노 게임 컬렉션�s no law that protects us from any harm or homophobic attacks. We don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t have any real safe LGBTQ+ places (bars, restaurants…) so we always have to be careful and not really be ourselves.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Without a community of other queer people and the fear of violence and persecution, many expats return to the closet when they move to Tunisia. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�You have to make a choice or live in a lie just because you are scared to lose your friends, family, job, etc. You also need to be careful on dating apps 카지노 게임 컬렉션� who knows, you might be having a conversation with a fake profile 카지노 게임 컬렉션� life in Tunisia as an LGBTQ+ person is stressful and scary.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Fortunately, organizations like (an officially registered NGO) are fighting for the rights of the queer community in Tunisia.

Everything카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Sunny in Spain

Spain is a trailblazer. The country legalized same-sex relationships in 1979 and was also one of the first to legalize same-sex marriage in 2005. Especially larger cities offer a great environment for queer expats, with their vibrant communities and large-scale Pride events.

Although attitudes in smaller towns may be slightly more conservative, one of our members feels right at home in Spain. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�We immediately noticed that the people living in Spain are more tolerant of the LGBTQ community. There are, of course, exceptions, but in general it카지노 게임 컬렉션�s super. This is one of the reasons that we now live in Spain.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Their life in Spain offers more freedom and happiness than what they experienced before while living in the Netherlands. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�I moved to Rotterdam because it was more lively, cozy, and open minded there. In 2010, I met the love of my life, and we had fantastic years in this great city. Unfortunately, we also saw the city change, not just towards the LGBTQ community, but in general and not in a positive way.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

The Netherlands is generally a rather safe country for LGBTQ+ expats as well. But this member appreciates the fact that in Spain, they don카지노 게임 컬렉션�t have to explain themselves. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�They just treat you like people, like a full-fledged couple. If you카지노 게임 컬렉션�re nice, they카지노 게임 컬렉션�ll be nice back, and that카지노 게임 컬렉션�s just the way it should be.카지노 게임 컬렉션� And even though their city doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션�t really offer any specific establishments for LGBTQ+ expats, they feel right at home there. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�There are no gay bars in the city where we live, but that is not necessary, because everywhere you can be yourself.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

More LGBTQ+ Experiences

In addition to the three stories above, many members shared their experience of living abroad as a queer expat. Some did not specify any destinations:

카지노 게임 컬렉션�After I moved abroad, it was finally legal to say I’m a part of the LGBTQ+ community 카지노 게임 컬렉션� 10 out of 10 experience.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I cannot imagine living in a country which forbids me to love whom I want to love.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

 

Others were more specific, putting things into perspective 카지노 게임 컬렉션�

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Being gay in Midtown Manhattan is not the same as being gay on Brighton Beach or in Harlem.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

 

카지노 게임 컬렉션� praising their country 카지노 게임 컬렉션�

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, can be considered one of the most friendly cities for LGBTQ people.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

카지노 게임 컬렉션�My country of birth Ireland is very welcoming, I believe, also from a legal point of view.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

 

카지노 게임 컬렉션� or being honest about the current situation:

카지노 게임 컬렉션�The country where I live (Netherlands) is definitely more open than the one I come from (Italy). In any case, I believe that there is still much to do for the LGBTQ+ community.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

카지노 게임 컬렉션�In my country of origin, Croatia, the situation is not as good as where I live now, Germany. Germans on average do not care what someone is doing and with whom.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

카지노 게임 컬렉션�I live in Italy and all I can say is: it depends. I mean, young people are definitely welcoming, but our government is really homophobic unfortunately.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

Resources for LGBTQ+ 온라인 카지노 게임s

A move abroad gives you a lot of things to consider. Beyond the usual aspects (cost of living, the local culture, the housing market, etc.), LGBTQ+ expats also need to keep their safety in mind. Not every country offers a friendly environment or equal rights to members of the queer community.

Before you make a move, research the local culture and legislation thoroughly. These are some resources to give you an idea of the legal situation around the world:

Stay safe and find your community!
