When is the next WorldPride and which prides happen this month?

Is it safe to travel as an LGBTQ+ person?
Safety varies widely by country. Use the Gay Travel Index to compare legal rights, social acceptance and risk by destination before booking. Western Europe, Canada, Uruguay, Taiwan and parts of Australia consistently rank as the safest; check current local laws for any destination in the Middle East, Africa or South Asia.
How do I find gay bars and saunas near me?
Open the "LGBTQ+ Near You" panel on the homepage and allow location access — GayOut will list gay bars, clubs, saunas and cruising spots within a few kilometres of you, with ratings and opening hours.
Can I add or claim a venue on GayOut?
Yes. Bar, club, sauna and hotel owners can add a new listing for free, or claim an existing one to manage photos, descriptions and contact details. Verified businesses get a "Claimed" badge and can respond to reviews.
