Gay in holland

The Netherlands is a progressive and tolerant place. We were the first country to allow same-sex gay, and we promote a culture where anybody can be who they want to be, wherever they are. The Netherlands actively promotes a culture where everyone feels at home. A place where you can walk hand-in-hand with the person you love.

In short, we want a vacation in holland Netherlands to be a great experience for everyone, regardless of who you are or your sexual orientation or gender. To put it in numbers: according to the Rainbow Europe Index of ILGA, an organization for the representation of the queer community in Europe, the Netherlands scores particularly well in the areas of gender equality, gender legislation, and non-discrimination compared to other countries.

The Rainbow Index is updated annually and is worth reading if you want to go on vacation to a country other than the Netherlands we can't imagine why, but still…. Perhaps the best example of our open, inclusive society is our capital, Amsterdam. The most popular areas are on Reguliersdwarsstraat and Kerkstraat and along the Amstel.

The more daring spots can be found on Warmoesstraat and on the Zeedijk in the red light district. This is a fantastic week full of insights and conversations about gay culture along with various activities such as sports, street parties, and club nights. The absolute highlight of the event is the world-famous Canal Parade, which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year.

De Spijkerbar, located on the Kerkstraat, was gay in and is considered the oldest gay bar in Amsterdam and quite possibly the oldest in the Netherlands. Pride is certainly not exclusive to Amsterdam. Even the famous Canal Parade can be found elsewhere: Utrecht also has canals and happily uses them during its own Utrecht Pride Week.

Dutch people in residential areas also like to show that we stand holland inclusiveness and an open society. It's not necessarily about big events, but about the everyday things in life. For example, the International Gay Monument in The Hague is a memorial to everyone who has been or is being murdered or persecuted because of their sexual preference or identity.
