Buenos Aires, the vibrant capital of Argentina, is known as one of the sexiest gay destinations in the world and what a title to hold! The birthplace of tango, a pioneer in LGBTQ+ rights, Buenos Aires knows how to throw a Pride party so good that you’ll be the one crying for Argentina when you leave!
Argentina was the first country in South America to legalise same-sex marriage in 2010 and the queer history runs deep; the first LGBTQ+ rights group Nuestro Mundo was founded in November 1967 by Héctor Anabitarte. This group inspired the creation of many more LGBTQ+ civil rights groups and is why the Buenos Aires Pride parade takes place in November.
The first march of Pride took place in 1992 and was led by activist Carlos Jáuregui, with only around 300 participants so when you are in BA, make sure you visit the Carlos Jáuregui metro station which honours his legacy.
Currently, the Pride parade attracts a crowd of around 200,000, all coming together to party and celebrate love. It’s in the top 50 biggest Pride parades in the world!
The Buenos Aires Pride parade, or Marcha del Orgullo LGBT+, starts at the iconic governmental palace, Casa Rosada (Pink House), a location equally as famous for Madonna’s 'Don’t Cry for Me Argentina', scene in the film Evita.
