There is a strong LGBT community in the Netherlands, and several gay-owned or gay-friendly hotels, nightclubs and cafes and have become established. It is a popular destination for gay tourism, especially Amsterdam, where an LGBT gay pride festival occurs in early August.
The public widely supports tolerance and equal rights for LGBT people, although conservative Christians and Muslim immigrants tend to be more in opposition with their beliefs about gender and sexual equality.
