<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Brisbane is Australia&rsquo;s third-largest city and is one of the oldest in the country, with the area being inhabited by Aboriginal tribes for 22,000 years prior to the arrival of Europeans, and this cultural and historical wealth can still be observed despite colonization and mass development. One of the most multicultural cities in Australia, Brisbane is brimming with opportunities for discovery, exploration, and entertainment.</p>
<p>Following the rest of Australia&rsquo;s major cities, Brisbane is currently undergoing a rebirth of culture, art, and cuisine, with funding being pumped into the arts and a number of small galleries, boutiques, and creative spaces popping up around the city. Australia has one of the most innovative and promising culinary scenes in the world and Brisbane does not disappoint.</p>
<p>Brisbane does not have a particularly notable gay district and gay-focused venues tend to be spread out across the city. This being said, the Fortitude Valley area is home to a small but vibrant collection of gay venues and community spaces. Improving social attitudes towards LGBT+ people and a blossoming cultural scene has made Brisbane an increasingly popular destination for gay travelers.</p>
<h2>Gay rights in Brisbane</h2>
<p>Same-sex marriage was legalized in Australia in 2017 and citizens now enjoy equal marital rights as well as protection from discrimination. Gay travelers in Brisbane can expect to be treated respectfully and with dignity. Research estimates that 80% of Australians agree with the acceptance of homosexuality and in a cosmopolitan area like Brisbane this percentage will be considerably higher. The rights of transgender people in the country vary from state to state with Queensland requiring transgender people to undergo gender confirmation surgeries before being allowed to change their gender on legal documents and forms.</p>
<h2><a href="https://www.travelgay.com/brisbane-gay-bars/">Gay nightlife in Brisbane</a></h2>
<p>Brisbane doesn&rsquo;t have a particularly large or distinct gay district, and the nightlife venues in the city generally offer mixed clubbing experiences. However, there are several gay-focused venues that are all popular hangouts for the local gay community. The majority of gay bars and clubs are located in Brisbane&rsquo;s bustling Downtown and the Fortitude Valley neighborhood.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/wickham-hotel/">The Wickham</a> is a gay pub in the heart of Fortitude Valley that has been a staple of the city&rsquo;s gay nightlife scene for decades. The bar is stylish and modern in its design, attracting a young and cosmopolitan clientele. The venue is expansive with an outdoor terrace, full nightclub, casual bar area, and a games room. In addition to the delicious drinks and experimental cocktails available, the Wickham is also known for its great food.</p>
<p>One of the oldest gay clubs in Brisbane, <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/beat-megaclub/">The Beat Megaclub</a> is the highlight of Brisbane&rsquo;s gay scene. The venue is truly massive, encompassing six-bar and club rooms, each specializing in a distinct genre, meaning you can jump straight from disco classics to the most intense trap and rap beats. Most gay travelers in Brisbane will end up at The Beat at some point.</p>

<h2><a href="https://www.travelgay.com/gay-brisbane-hotels/">Gay hotels in Brisbane</a></h2>
<p>The majority of hotels in Brisbane can be considered gay-friendly, as Australian anti-discrimination laws prohibit differential treatment on the grounds of perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. However, a few hotels have fantastic reputations amongst gay travelers and are known for providing inclusive, friendly, and open service. These hotels tend to be located in Brisbane&rsquo;s Downtown and the Fortitude Valley neighborhood.</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;re looking for a luxury stay close to the best shops, restaurants, and bars, as well as the bulk of Brisbane&rsquo;s gay nightlife, consider staying at the <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/limes-hotel-brisbane/">Limes Hotel</a>. Decorated in a minimalist and contemporary style, the hotel is one of the trendiest in the city. From the rooftop pool and bar, you will be able to appreciate some of the best views in Brisbane.</p>
<p>For the best central location, look no further than <a href="https://www.travelgay.com/venue/hotel-jen-brisbane/">Hotel Jen Brisbane</a>, a classic venue with a fresh and modern twist. The stylish rooms at Hotel Jen each feature comfortable and elegant furnishings and are decorated to the same standard. The on-site facilities are both varied and exciting and include a coffee shop, rooftop fitness center, and even an Asian fusion restaurant.</p>
<h2>Getting to Brisbane</h2>
<p>The city is served by Brisbane Airport. The airport is located around 10 kilometers from the Downtown area and there are several ways to reach the city center. Taxis are the most popular way to get from the airport to the Downtown area, running 24/7 and the drivers are familiar with the quickest routes. Whilst taxies may be more expensive than the alternatives, they are fast, reliable, and convenient.</p>
<p>The Airtrain is another popular way to travel between the airport and Brisbane&rsquo;s Downtown, offering a quick and efficient connection. The train takes around 20 minutes and there are no major changes on the route. Services run every 15 minutes at peak times and every 30 minutes at off-peak times.</p>
<p>Alternatively, there are plenty of car hire establishments in and around the airport. Uber is also a popular method of transport in Brisbane and ride-sharing is common here.</p>
<h2>Getting around Brisbane</h2>
<h3>Train</h3>
<p>Brisbane&rsquo;s rail network is clean, efficient, and reliable with routes spanning the entire city. The train is a popular choice amongst travelers who want to experience the areas surrounding the city, as the rail network has lines into a number of Brisbane&rsquo;s charming suburbs.</p>
<h3>Bus</h3>
<p>Brisbane&rsquo;s bus network is especially great because it has such a high quantity of bus lanes on its streets, meaning that traveling by bus is quick and often free of traffic. In the city center and Downtown area, there are also free bus routes that take riders to many of Brisbane&rsquo;s top attractions.</p>
<h3>Ferry</h3>
<p>Cutting right through the center of Brisbane, the Brisbane River is just as busy as the city&rsquo;s roads, with ferry and boat travel being a convenient and fast way to navigate the city. The ferries are cheap, and pre-paid cards can be purchased making using this form of transport very simple.</p>

<h2>FAQs</h2>
<h3>Visa</h3>

<h3>Money</h3>
<p>There are ample ATM machines throughout Brisbane, and the majority of establishments will accept credit and debit cards. However, some ATM machines and card readers may add an additional fee for transactions attempted with overseas cards.</p>
<p>The generally accepted and expected rates of tipping in Brisbane are 15-20% for good service in restaurants and 5-10% for cafes.</p>
<h3>When to visit</h3>
<p>Autumn in Australia is between May and June and this is arguably the best time to visit Brisbane. With warm and comfortable temperatures but not the sweltering highs of summer, autumn is the perfect season to explore the city and also enjoy the great weather and wonderful beaches. For the most action-packed trip, consider visiting in September, when many of the city&rsquo;s most exciting festivals and events take place.</p>
<p>Whilst it may be wet and humid at times, winter in Brisbane offers travelers the chance to secure great deals on hotels, flights, and resort packages.</p>

• In South Australia no surgery is required, only proof of psychological counseling.<br />
• In Tasmania no surgery is required, they may require proof of psychological counseling for persons under 18.<br />

Homosexual activity was federally decriminalized by the Human Rights (Sexual Conduct) Act 1994, although some local state laws remained inconsitent until 1997.

En homo-pub i indre by i Brisbane som ønsker alle velkommen. I dag tilbyr denne stilige puben en vennlig atmosfære og et kosmopolitisk preg. Etter en nylig oppussing har bare fått en ny drikkesone og en ny utendørs terrasse på den tidligere parkeringsplassen. Det er også en nattklubb og et spillrom ovnpå. Wickhams restaurant serverer mat og drikke hele natten. Vi var veldig imponert over hvor leie stedet var på et nylig besøk i byen.
