Toronto Gay Guide

Toronto is famous as a hub for arts and culture in North America, so it’s no surprise that is has fostered such a diverse and welcoming LGBTQ+ community. Church Street Village is by far the most well-known and lively of the city’s gay areas and the most popular place to go for a great night out, but there are also many places across the city that are equally welcoming. Beyond the all-important bars and clubs, Toronto offers cafes, shops, and restaurants that are popular with the queer community and dotted across the city, including the famous Queer West Village.
