TOP 10 THINGS TO DO IN GAY BOSTON

One of America's first cities, Boston residents are as proud of their history as of their nightlife. Not many American cities can boast to having as much impact on the formation of the American nation as Boston. They continue to set an example for the nation even today, with Massachusetts being the first state to legalize gay marriage. Sports, especially football, are beloved in this harbor city, but academics are equally valued. Hosting one of the oldest public libraries in the country as well as multiple esteemed universities, Boston residents have a lot to brag about.


When looking for the top 10 things to do in Boston there are no shortage of choices, whether the goal is to party or to learn. Day cruises and a multitude of bars mean that even in the coldest winter months residents have ample reason to get out and socialize. During the summer Boston's famous cobblestone streets beckon, as do the many shops and outdoor cafes that line them. The historic city hall that hosted some of the first gay marriages in the country should certainly not be missed, nor should the nearby courthouse that made these marriages legal. Both LGBT history and American history in general abound here, but Boston's appeal spreads to far more than just history buffs.



Year-round festivals and celebrations of all kinds take place in Boston as well, ensuring that each trip wows visitors with something new. Though those of Irish ancestry abound, leading to a exuberant annual Saint Patrick's day celebration, Boston also hosts residents from all over the world just as eager to celebrate their ancestry. This leads to a cornucopia of cultural events, from the Holi Colour Festival to the almost 40-year-old Dragon Boat Festival. All this results in a city that has remained as vibrant and alive today as when it was first founded in 1630.
