A new ranking of cities throughout the world by how sexually liberated they are has just been published with Birmingham listed at number 17.
The adult entertainment portal Erobella released its Sexually Liberal City Index for the fifth time, and the results are fascinating. The study scored 41 cities on “the freedom to live, love and express sexuality.” Cities all over the world were ranked across 10 categories, including contraception use, the number of sex shops, how the city fares on gender recognition, anti-discrimination, and abortion access, as well as queer-centric metrics like how many gay bars and LGBTQ+ events there are.
The United States and other countries the world over may be overwhelmed by conservative ideology and attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, but there are still ways cities across the globe are fighting back and making sure that they are still as sexually free and welcoming to the queer community as possible.
