Gay Travel the Pink Peso Buenos Aires Part One

Welcome to Gay Buenos Aires

Surprisingly enough, the 'conservative' Argentina as you know it is gone! Buenos Aires sets a new standard of social acceptance as a leading gay travel destination.

If you are travelling to Buenos Aires, you might expect a city that is rich in social, political, and economical turmoil and horribly conservative. What you will find is a city rich in architecture, language and a thriving, bohemian metropolis in need of some tender loving care, but building for the twenty-first century.

Many of the negative European attitudes and laws, which criminalized homosexuality, Argentina repealed in the 1850s and Gays are openly welcomed.

Refreshingly, you will not find the old world gay infrastructures, ghettos and the mass commercialization of homosexuals that you expect in cities such as London and New York.

Andrew McCance, has travelled the world at least three times and is currently living and working in South America and is developing a number of web-based travel and tourism projects including http://www.buenosairesstay.com/bastay/generico.php?carpeta=ing&fuente=gay-buenos-aires.htm talks of his surprise and at attitudes and acceptance of gays he discovered in Buenos Aires.

What Andrew expected and what he found were two entirely different things!

“I feel so at home here, in any part of the city, in any restaurant or any bar; being gay in Buenos Aires city does not become all consuming part of your life and being. In Buenos Aires, you are you first, and gay if someone can be bothered to ask. In summary, you will find the city has a metro-sexual nature,” states Andrew.
