Pride month is approaching fast! To honour this event and to celebrate diversity in my hometown, I would love to contribute this guide to gay Milan, written in collaboration with two LGBT friends.
‘What are you doing Margherita! You’re not gay, why are you writing a instruction to Gay Milan?’ Before reading any further, I would favor to clarify that this instruction was written together with two friends of mine who match to the LGBT community in Milan, but who would rather not be named because of fear of bullying and discrimination in their workplace.
And this is why sharing guides of LGBT-friendly places is so important – you may see Milan as an open, friendly, diverse urban area, but the truth is that discrimination is present more than ever, and LGBT individuals deal with hatred and abuse on a daily basis.I identify as a straight ally, and I am horrified by the idea that people are being discriminated on the basis of gender and sexual preferences – this is why I decided to position together this gay Milan guide, to provide a list of safe spaces for LGBT individuals.
Many of Milan’s LGBT-friendly bars and restaurants can be found in Porta Venezia, espec

About Milan and its queer life
Milan is the second largest city in Italy after Rome and the capital of Lombardy.
It is located in the Po Valley and is therefore characterized by a mild Mediterranean climate with warm summers and moderately cold winters.
Founded 400 BC by the Celts, Milan was conquered by the Romans in 222 BC and repeatedly plundered and destroyed during the Barbarian Invasions. From 774 on Milan belonged to the Frankish Empire. In 1162 it was destroyed completely by Frederick Barbarossa. After reconstruction, a golden age followed, and under the noble family of the Sforza Milan became one of the leading cities of the Italian Renaissance. The Sforza brought Leonardo da Vinci to the urban area, who worked at their court for nearly 20 years and in that period produced some of his most famous works.
In the 16th century Milan fell into Spanish hands, after the War of Spanish Succession it was awarded to Austria in 1714, until finally in 1859 the Italian Kingdom began to emerge. In the age of industrialization Milan became one of the first strongholds of the labor movement. During
