Gay Copenhagen film

Copenhagen has long been a tolerant and relaxed capital for both gay Danes and tourists.

The first gay bar opened over 80 years ago, and in 1989 Denmark was the first country in the world to recognise marriage between two persons of the same sex. In 1999, it became possible for married gays to adopt the children of their partners, and in 2009 it became possible for gay couples in registered partnerships to adopt. Every year, Copenhagen hosts a number of gay events, like Copenhagen Pride and Copenhagen Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. In 2009 the city also hosted World Outgames. Across the sound, Malmo hosts the Rainbow Festival and Mr. Gay Oresund.
