"Brazil offers LGBTQ+ friendly travel destinations with bustling major cities, such as São Paulo's nightlife and Rio's Ipanema Beach. The country provides sprawling legal protections and increasingly positive popular opinion, with an Equaldex score of 78 out of 100. Even rural regions have made strides towards progressivism. A great time to visit is during Pride Month in June, with around 300 parades, but LGBTQ+ events occur year-round according to IGLTA."
