LGBTQ+ Rights in Netherlands

Amsterdam, the capital city of the Netherlands, is often referred to as the gay capital of Europe as well (and for good reason)! The city has a long history of LGBTQ+ acceptance and has been at the forefront of gay rights for decades. The Netherlands was also the first country to legalize same-sex marriage back in 2001, and the Dutch are known for their inclusive and welcoming attitudes.

Gay Movie Inspiration

In The Dutch Boys, a married factory worker confronts his feelings, two boxers fight for more than just keeps, and a countryside coming out doesn't quite go to plan. Come and explore a thoroughly Dutch view on life and love in these five exciting short films from the Netherlands.

Hi! We're Two Gay Expats

Hi gorgeous, and welcome to our LGBTQ+ travel blog! We're Andy and Trai, a gay couple traveling the world with PRIDE 🌈  â€¦and our rescue dog, Pattie!

After meeting in San Francisco in 2018 and later moving to Chicago, we decided to quit our jobs in 2021, sell everything, and become Two Gay Expats. For over two years, we explored the best of gay Mexico while waiting for our house, Casa Cangrejo, to be completed in Tulum. We got married at The Beach Tulum in 2020 and became Mexican permanent residents in 2022.

Today, we continue to travel around Mexico and the world to show you our favorite places. If you'd like to follow our adventures, subscribe on YouTube and join us on Instagram.
