About LGBTQ+ Brasília
Brazil legalized same-sex marriage in 2013, and Brasília, the modernist planned capital laid out by Oscar Niemeyer, carries a smaller but genuine queer scene than the big coastal cities. Much of it runs through weekly gay nights that straight venues host to fill the gap.
The highest concentration of gay-friendly bars and clubs sits in Asa Sul, one half of the city's residential wings.
