Auckland New Zealand Alt Lifestyle?

Travel Info
Is it true that Auckland New Zealand is a Gay Mecca? How does it compare to cities like West Hollywood, Vancouver B.C., and Toronto?

Travel Tips

I wouldn't call it a gay mecca, but it definately has it's culture.
Once a year there is a great gay festival called hero festival. It spreads around the whole city and next year they plan to have a parade again (after several years without) http://www.hero.org.nz/

The K-Road (Karanagahape Road) is the place to go to get a first sight of the gay culture, having heaps of gay and gay friendly bars, pubs and discos.

There is a gay marriage in New Zealand and for imigrants a partnership can as well be a single sex relationship, to be recognised.

So after all I would say Auckland is very gay friendly, but maybe not a mecca like West Hollywood. Source(s): Living in Auckland

Other Travel Tips
Below are some addresses that may (or may not) help you.
The dating one allows for gay contacts, the Scandals one has a "male seeks--" page and a "female and couple seeks--".
Don't put any messages on the wrong one, you'll get flamed and sent to Coventry.
There are many contact bars, clubs and houses in Auckland, but the visitor is unlikely to find their way around without guidance.
Bon chance.

rubbish! i guess if you come here looking for gays then you will find them.but in general,nah i don't think so.i live here and don't know of many gays.I'm more likely to find a drug dealer than gays,but i don't go looking for them,so i guess i don't find them.

that's what i think anyway
Yes Auckland is a gay city where celebrations happen in but it is not known for its gay city, its known for its beaches thats why of course it is called the city of sails and you will enjoy that city for places you can visit as well like the Sky Tower (New Zealand's biggest building) Hope you're keen on visiting!
I am not gay.
