Gay-friendly Birmingham
As no shortage of gay and lesbian visitors would undoubtedly be able to testify, cosmopolitan Birmingham is a very gay-friendly city.
The gay visitor’s experience will be pretty similar to that of everybody else, meaning that they’ll (hopefully!) have a thoroughly enjoyable time exploring Birmingham’s places of interest - theatres, restaurants, museums - not to mention taking advantage of the city’s fantastic shopping options, including Selfridges, the iconic building of which has become a firm favourite.
