Whenever I’ve done research on LGBTQ-friendly places to travel, my priorities are safety and avoiding hostility. It had never even crossed my intellect to think of places in the world where warmth and kindness could be expected. In Montreal, we were welcomed, not just tolerated, but embraced. There aren’t words for how nice that feels when you’ve never experienced it before. And although Montreal’s history of the Gay Village will explain you otherwise, it showed us a new frontier is on the horizon. And just as everywhere may have a history that’s not so superb , many destinations are forging a new generation that is much more welcoming and safe for LGBTQ travelers.
But as a lgbtq+ traveler, this trip meant something to me in a way that other destinations just haven’t. So it’s important to understand the places where presently queer people are safer, look into what initiatives certain destinations have that support LGBTQ people, and as I’m doing, spread the word.

The Same-sex attracted Village Montreal runs along Sainte-Catherine Lane from Berri to Papineau Street. Stepping onto Sainte-Catherine Road is like exiting the regular society and entering male lover world (yes, that was a Intend Girls reference). Upon stepping onto the street, you will see over , rainbow balls strung above your top, spanning the 1km stretch that makes up the Montreal Gay Village. It is seriously matchless for the ‘gram.
From April until September, this colorful stretch of Ste-Ca

Samantha checked us in and was very supportive and accommodating. Other staff members that we hadn't dealt with remembered us and our situation and we're very helpful. Was really nice to see. Calling after 11pm for some knowledge and assistance wasn't the top but during the day they are. I really disliked the parking situation. You can only pay for valley and it's $30/night. But if you discover street parking then it's cheaper or free. Or public underground parking is cheaper.

We stayed here and we got a great deal through Agoda. There was free breakfast and our room was more like a small apartment with a kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen has a full size refrigerator, sink, dishwasher and microwave, but no stove. The air conditioner initially didn't work, but the fron
The Village
The Village’s come-one, come-all spirit marks this rainbow-hued quarter as a necessary part of the city’s urban landscape. Both an LGBT+ community gathering gesture and a living, breathing neighbourhood, the Village is far more than one of Montréal’s liveliest party hubs and the centre of summer's Pride events – although, nowhere else quite gets down in the quite same way.
Montréal’s big gay heart
Openness 24/7
Beaudry metro station with its rainbow pillars stands proudly at the geographic heart of Montréal’s Village, the biggest of its kind in North America. Bustling Sainte-Catherine Street running east to west acts as the gaybourhood’s main drag, stacked with decent eateries, eye-popping boutiques, and a multitude of B&B options housed in uniquely Montréalaise architecture. Welcoming nightclubs that stay packed prolonged into the night personify Montréal’s joie de vivre and the anything goes scene awaits with arms open wide. But the fun runs 24/7, making Le Village one of Montréal’s most vibrant, uncover, and inclusive quarters both day and night.
