As capital city and largest urban centre on the island, Dublin has always attracted gay men and women looking for both the anonymity, and exposure, that a big city provides. In fact, Dublin has more gay men and women per capita than San Francisco. With one of the highest youth populations in the European Union, coupled with the (now diminishing) "Tiger" economy, the city seems to be ever-expanding both physically and culturally.

The gay "scene"/community seems to be coming of age and expanding beyond the limited confines of pubs and clubs, sometimes even merging with the mainstream. In latte-sipping millennial Dublin it could even be said that a GBF (Gay Best Friend ) is the most coveted of accessories (a drag artist even hosts the weekly Lotto draw on Ireland's national broadcaster RTE).

Leaving the George on a Saturday night, wandering down South William Street or through Temple Bar, it might seem that the entire city is queer (or at least queer-friendly). But don't be too fooled by this feeling: keep in mind Dublin's potential intolerance and bigotry (and name-calling!), and remember that under the veneer of the cosmopolitan tiger society lies the old and often dangerous city that Dublin, and Ireland as a whole, has always been for gay men and women.

London

London can be described as the Gay Capital of the World. Undoubtedly, such an accolade is backed by numerous reasons, including the number and variety of Gay bars and clubs in London . The London gay scene is extremely active, with many gay bars and clubs springing up in and around the city. Many celebrity supporters, including Madonna and Elton John, have performed at such venues to popularize these Gay bars.

To experience gay London in full bloom,one needs to head straight to Soho, with every second shop catering to gay clothing, accessory and all bars being gay friendly or just gay! With the homophobic attitudes of old slowly evaporating, the gay scene seems to develping positively. Every year the gay pride parade and festival which is an outpouring of the excitement and colour of this vibrant community.
