I partied in Europe's most LGBTQ+ friendly country — and discovered its secret

When I asked my tour guide what he loved most about Malta, his answer caught me off guard. After boasting about the island's rich history and the fact that its litany of enthralling attractions are all within an hour's drive, he casually added: 'And it's been voted the world's safest place for LGBTQ+ travellers.' Now, gays love to travel. The only thing they love more than travelling is letting everyone who will listen know that they love travelling. But I don't think I've ever seen any of the LGBTQ+ people I follow on social media posting thirst traps from Malta. Of course, that will all change when the UK's biggest LGBTQ+ festival Mighty Hoopla makes its international debut there later this year. The location is a clever choice. For the 10th year running, Malta is top of the Rainbow Map, an annual chart that ranks European countries on their respective legal and policy practises for LGBTQ+ people. I spent four days in Malta last summer, and I can see why it consistently takes the crown, while the UK continues to plummet. We're currently 22nd on the list; just over a decade ago, we were number one. Granted, I was in Malta at a particularly gay time of year. It was Malta Pride 2024 and, despite marching at many British Pride events, this was the first time I'd ever branched out and flown overseas to celebrate our brave and magical community. Everyone was welcome everywhere, which no longer feels the case here in the UK. At home, every Pride march I've attended comes with banners telling us we're going to hell. In Malta, there wasn't a single protester in sight. With thousands of members from all over the world, our vibrant LGBTQ+ WhatsApp channel is a hub for all the latest news and important issues that face the LGBTQ+ community. Simply click on this link, select 'Join Chat' and you're in! Don't forget to turn on notifications! In the lead-up to Malta Pride, though, I wasn't sensing much hype. With less than 24 hours to go until the big day, walking through the capital, Valletta, I didn't see a single rainbow flag. Strange, I thought, for the safest place for LGBTQ+ travellers. I also noticed a surprising lack of gay bars. According to Google, there was only one on the whole island, but 'we don't need them' was the consensus from people I spoke to in Malta. Everywhere is LGBTQ+ friendly. There were, of course, bars where LGBTQ+ people seemed to hang out, but there was no clear advertising. I spent longer than I should have, drinking more Margaritas than I ever thought possible, at Café Society – clearly one of the most popular bars in the city. Customers poured out onto the steps and the neighbourhood felt more alive than I've ever seen Soho. Once the most thriving LGBTQ+ hub in the world, it's now on its knees. Still, I was intrigued by how Malta would celebrate Pride. Would anyone even turn up? In fact, very inch of Valletta was full to the brim. It felt like everyone on the island and then some were there to take part, LGBTQ+ or not. The streets were lined with dancers, Cher's Believe blasted from speakers and I've never experienced a Pride filled with so much joy. I haven't danced or laughed as hard in years. Drag queens from all over the world entertained locals with a free show right in the centre of the island, which was open to anyone (and drinks were half the price you'd find at a UK Pride). Birmingham-based drag star Miss Penny, a legend in the UK and a regular at London's Admiral Duncan, brought her absolute filth to Valletta, dragging her adoring crowd with lines that for legal (and moral) reasons cannot be repeated here. @ Yesterday, Malta Pride painted the town in vibrant colours as thousands gathered for the Malta Pride March 2024 in Valletta, organised by Malta Pride and Allied Rainbow Communities (ARC). The march, a highlight of the annual Malta Pride festivities, kicked off at the iconic Triton Fountain at 6:00 PM with an inspiring opening ceremony that set the tone for an evening of celebration, unity, and advocacy. The parade made its way through the bustling streets of Valletta, with participants proudly waving rainbow flags, holding banners, and dancing to music from colourful floats. DJs kept the energy high as the procession moved towards the historic St. George's Square, where the festivities culminated in a spectacular concert. The march celebrated 20 years of Malta Pride, marking two decades of progress in the fight for equality and inclusion for the LGBTIQ+ community. #MaltaDaily ♬ original sound – She kept us on our feet until 11pm, for free, before the party starters descended on Marrakesh nightclub – an astonishing open-air venue with floating trees and seven stages that feel like they're plonked right in the middle of the Amazon rainforest. It was spectacular, packed with hes, shes, theys and everything in between — the friendliest crowd I've ever met on a night out. My face was dripping with sweat, but that didn't put anyone off having a chinwag about the one thing that united everyone there, no matter what country we came from or the language we spoke. But what makes Malta the best place for LGBTQ+ travellers? I wondered why locals felt so much safer here than in other parts of the world. Jelle, 63, moved to Malta from Amsterdam and said the island's size goes a long way to help. 'It's such a small country, you can't be anonymous and so there can't be any harassment,' she says. 'If I mention my husband's name, everybody knows him. That's why it's so tolerant and fantastic for LGBTQ+ people.' Perhaps that's the secret: community. Everyone LGBTQ+ is recognised as someone's child, a sibling, or their neighbour; they're untouchable. I can't begin to imagine living with that level of empowerment, but for four days, I got to experience it first-hand. More Trending In the brief time I spent in Malta, that sense of community was abundantly clear at every turn. It breaks my heart that I live in a city that feels ever more fractured, with animosity towards LGBTQ+ people only increasing. Mighty Hoopla will be launching its first overseas festival in Malta this September. If the line-up hasn't yet convinced you to buy a ticket, I would jump at the chance to experience Malta when it's bursting with love for the LGBTQ+ community — especially at a time when it sometimes feels so lacking back home.

American living in the UK left floored as he admits one thing is 'really different'

An American who is obsessed with visiting different cities around the United Kingdom to rate them in a series of viral videos has been left "impressed" by a shopping centre as it's "insane" An American living in the UK was left flabbergasted by UK shopping centres, branding his native American malls as subpar by comparison. TikToker @kjordyy, who rates different cities across Britain, was awestruck by Kent's Bluewater Shopping Centre and expressed his thoughts in a video captioned: " are we doing? British malls are genuinely insane". He enthuses about the UK malls in the video, claiming they "blow his mind" and insists it's "so much more than a shopping experience". "I don't think you truly understand the complexity of these malls," he declares, amazed at the offerings. His tour showed him that "first of all", the architectural prowess of every centre he visits is "insane". ‌ He then marvelled at the discovery of "a moat outside of the mall". ‌ Diving into details, he reveals it houses over 280 stores, boasts a cinema with 17 screens and even an adventure park complete with ziplines and skydiving options. Bemused, he noted that such attractions are unheard of in US malls, admitting: "If I were a kid, I just wouldn't leave this place," due to the variety of available activities. Emboldened, @kjordyy announced his intent to try skydiving on-site, something not possible in American shopping hubs. However, after approaching the skydiving and zip line areas, he faced disappointment being told he was "too heavy" to participate. Undeterred, he concluded: "Just the sheer fact that a mall has this, I'm impressed. I'm sad I've got too swole a body for them, but you know what, maybe next time". In the comments, one person encouraged him to "go to the Trafford Centre" for its remarkable features. "Especially the ship area with the restaurants," another added. ‌ An individual recounted their astonishment during a visit to the Trafford Centre, saying it "blew their mind". Some commenters were quick to point out that "Bluewater is not an accurate representation of UK 'malls'." One commenter reminisced: "Metrocentre used to have an indoor funfair including a rollercoaster!! It's no longer there now". The impact of the internet on shopping centres was debated, with some arguing that "people are too lazy to go and walk round" nowadays, while others defended the irreplaceable experience of in-person shopping. A woman queried: "Are malls shutting down over there the way they are here? Even our giant mall only has about two stores in it now". Another boasted about their local centre: "I mean my local one is all outside and has a cinema, like 20 shops and 6 restaurants, but there's better further away". Meanwhile, a UK resident described their local centre as having just "a Greggs, McDonald's and the absolute bare minimum of stores," reassuring the TikToker that this isn't the norm.
