These are the world's most accepting cities for LGBTQ+ people
Gay TimesThe research, which was carried out by Money.co.uk, studied five key criteria to determine where each state falls in terms of its LGBTQ+ inclusiveness:
– How easy it is to change the gender marker on your birth certificate and driver’s licence
– The level of state support for the LGBTQ+ adults wanting to start a family
– Work safety
– Percentage of adults over 18 who identify as LGBTQ+

Reykjavik in Iceland debuted at number one on the list, being the only city to score 10/10 for its acceptance of the community.
Amsterdam and Rotterdam finished in second and third place, respectively – both scoring a rating of 9.8/10.
Cities in the USA made up one quarter of it with San Francisco ranking highest of these at fourth.
Also reaching the top 20 was Boston at 11th, Seattle at 12th, Los Angeles at 16th and Chicago at 17th.
