    Hope you'll enjoy this tour of LGBTQ+ Amsterdam! Thank you to our lovely guests Annedi and Anfisa 😊 Lots more great places in the city to check out, we may even do another little tour to check out other honourable mentions like Bar Buka, Saarein, PRIK... what are your favourite queer spots in the city?

      Vrankrijk on Wednesdays and the Trut on Sundays are two other places I like. For those with no regular working hours ;). Although I haven't been since the pandemic so I'm not sure how it is now.. And certain events are fun, like Janey and Milkshake.

    You both make such a cute couple!
    I recently started dating this woman I've had a wicked crush on. "Charlotte" and I met at a TDOR vigil last November. We've attended some meetings with our local trans group and hung out outside of our meetings since. Late last month, I shot my shot with her. Charlotte knew I had a crush on her the whole time. She then asked me out on a date. We've since gone on a few dates and up to New York City for Pride. After we got back from NYC, we went out on a post-Pride date. Charlotte then asked if I'd be her girlfriend. I said yes! And now we're officially a couple!
    I've never traveled outside the U.S. but if I do, the Netherlands is definitely on my list of countries to visit. I'd love to visit Amsterdam and some other cities for the queer spots and weed.

    I’m a brown lesbian living in Amsterdam, one thing that’s important to note about the lgbtq+ scene here is that it is very white. I stuck out and felt so out place in reguliersdwarstraat. There’s a lot of racism and discrimination. So the scene is more inviting if u are a white queer person

    • @M.E.Z99
      @M.E.Z99 2 года назад +18

      Thank you for mentioning this! You might already know about this, but also for other people that feel the same: there are other places like Bar Bario or parties from Klauw collective in Rotterdam that are actually organised by and centering people of colour and those are also way more inviting to trans and non binary people for example :)

      Thanks for sharing your experience, that's a very important point to make and unfortunately seems to be the reality in many European cities. Having lived in Toronto before, it was much more diverse and inclusive. And we still haven't checked out Rotterdam, perhaps that could be an idea for another video.

    I live in the Hague and we don't have that many rainbow flags in here which I miss awfully. Amsterdam is much more crowded though. However, I love the Dutch vibe that anyone can lay back and be themselves. The Netherlands is truly a place where you can be who you want to be and no one will judge you. Thanks for the video! You guys are amazing!
