<p>It doesn’t matter what you like, São Paulo is big enough to welcome  every kind of people  and <em>she</em> really does it with  a  wide-ranging  of entertainment options. The largest city in Latin  America and the fourth in the world, it is the cosmopolitan center of  Brazil, from where all innovations and ideas are spread to the rest of  the country. For that reason, the government and private institutions  give some support to sexual, and also religious, ethnical and cultural  diversity. Welcome to the heart of Brazil, welcome to the city that  never sleeps, at least she does not do it alone, <em>did you get it</em>?</p>
<div><img src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/39531-36457/saopaulogaypridetravel.jpg?a=77" alt="" /></div>
<p>Through the blood vessels of this heart which carries all the  Brazilian diversity with a social seasoning of foreigners from all over  the world who come to the city for different reasons, and are able to  realize the Brazilian receptive way and in addition, the importance of  treating everybody well on a globalized world. The city has over 17  thousand kilometers of streets and avenues where there is a flow of 3.5  million people every day. The city looks like a worldwide metropolis and  is part of a circuit which includes London, Paris, New York, Tokyo and  Berlin due to the fact of being a cultural melting pot.</p>
<p>Important museums are located in the city and there are ten of them  in  <a href="http://www.frommers.com/destinations/saopaulo/A30962.html" target="_blank"><strong>Ibirapuera Park</strong></a> . Such museums are  seen as significant spaces to divulgate arts and cultural production,  e.g, Modern Arts Museum (MAM), Afro-Brazilian Museum, Contemporary Arts  Museum and Astronomical Observation Planetarium. MASP, São Paulo Arts  Museum, is one of the main museums of the city and the country, located  on Paulista Avenue, it is a rendezvouz spot of musicians, poets,  dancers, writers, actors and actresses and all kind of people as many as  its free space can shelter.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.pinacoteca.org.br/pinacoteca/" target="_blank">Pinacoteca  do Estado de São Paulo</a> is a prominent headquarters of arts,  located in the surroundings of Luz Station and a venue of great  exhibitions such as Tarsila do Amaral, Henri Matisse. Estação  Pinacoteca, close to the main Pinacoteca building, hosts an <strong>Andy  Warhol</strong> exhibiton until the end of May, his largest exhibition  in Latin America. Across the street you have the Portuguese Language  Museum, information center of Brazil’s mother tongue and a place of  Brazilian writers and poets exhibitions who contributed to what is so  called Brazilian Portuguese nowadays. The masterpieces are presented in a  creative and intriguing way, making use of LED, screens, interactive  models placing the audience into them in an updated dynamic.</p>
<p>Its cultural variety can be seen in its many theaters and drama  spaces in the city. Being the cradle of the most renowned Brazilian  theater groups, such as <a href="http://www.sescsp.org.br/sesc/hotsites/cpt_novo/areas.cfm?cod=4&amp;esp=1" target="_blank">Centro de Pesquisa Teatral</a> (CPT), Teatro Oficina,  Os Satyros, and Parlapatões. The convergence point is Roosevelt square,  known as a place where the biggest concentration of theaters per square  meter in the city is located. It is a microcosm with its characters,  stories, dramas.</p>
<p>GLBT network is in charge of much of the tourist business in the  city, mainly during the <strong>Pride Parade</strong>, which takes place  every June on a Sunday after Corpus Christi celebration. That is the  second largest event of the city and over R$ 189million are circulated  in less than a week, behind the Formula 1 race competition which income  is more than R$ 200 million. That is the result of a partnership between  government and militancy.</p>
<div><img src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/39531-36457/gaypridesaopaulobrazilcrowds.jpg?a=75" alt="" /></div>
<p>There are over <a href="http://www.revistaviag.com.br/principal.asp?menid=45" target="_blank">100  Gay Pride Parades and celebrations</a> each year in  Brazil &#8211; but the biggest in the WORLD takes place  in  <a href="http://www.gaypridebrazil.org/sao-paulo/events/index.asp" target="_blank"><strong>Sao Paulo June  3rd &#8211; 7th, 2010</strong></a><strong> .</strong> (3.1 million people  in 2009!)</p>
<p>The whole city  supports  Gay Pride.  Through the Coordenation of  Sexual Affairs (CADS), the city hall guarantees R$1 million funds in  infrastructure. The state government through the Sexual Diversity Policy  Coordenation aids on the structure and schedule carrying out. The  Federal government backs up the initiative with a sponsorship of R$ 320  thousand.</p>
<p>The private sector also makes investments due to the income provided  by those who take part of the parade and it is not only on the parade  week or day, but all over the year. Hotels located on Paulista avenue  have an increase of 20% of occupation during the parade, increasing the  general occupation to 90%, according to SPTuris. In order to organize  all that flow, the city hosts Brazil GLBT Business Chamber, an  organization founded to help entrepreneurs make their services and  products to GLBT customers better and better, putting up bars, pubs,  nightclubs, saunas, restaurants, NGOs and press together. Aiming to  offer good service and products, being all set to receive tourists.</p>
<div><img src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/39531-36457/gaybrazilsaopaulopride.jpg?a=58" alt="" /></div>
<p>When a visitor goes for a tour in the city, he/she can count on a <a href="http://www.abratgls.com.br/" target="_blank">LGBT Tourist Information Center </a>established since  the beginning of 2010. The service network includes 17 tourist agencies,  a change and exchange office and a gay hotel – the 155, located  downtown.</p>
<p>According to SPTuris (São Paulo Tourism Office), the official  Tourist Office, during the Parade, around 350 thousand people visit the  city – 70% of them come from the state of São Paulo, 25% from other  states and 5% are foreigners. They guarantee an income of R$189 million  in just a week.</p>
<p>The city watches new ideas in different areas popping up, such as a  Brazilian LGBT Sports Committee, in charge of arranging gays, lesbians  and transsex volleyball and soccer championships. The organization  carried out the first Uniliga with volleyball and indoor soccer matches  with the city hall’s support, promising to export the idea to other  Brazilian states such as Minas Gerais, Santa Catarina and Rio de  Janeiro.</p>

<div><img src="http://images.quickblogcast.com/39531-36457/gaytravelbeachboymenbrazil.jpg?a=78" alt="" /></div>
<p>There are also two <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_school" target="_blank">GLBT  samba schools</a> . One of them is the brand new Monalisa Paulistana  that first appeared during 2010 Carnival and aims at a place on the  special samba school group. The other one is Arco-Íris, part of the main  group and has its show with a lot of transsex, gays and lesbians taking  part of it, and also friendly people who love the festival.</p>
<p>Another group which makes the city more exciting is one organized by  drag queens from a nightclub called <a href="http://www.bluespace.com.br/home/" target="_blank">Blue Space</a> ,  known as the best nightclub for drags’ shows. Every year on São Paulo’s  anniversary there is a soccer match on the street – drags X employees  of the nightclub, a dispute which has the objective of making people  laugh and strengthen the relationship with the neighborhood.<br />
<strong>When traveling to any big city that is strange to you, be  cautious and use common sense.</strong></p>
<p><em>Don’t take the risk of having fake beverage, known as “bebida  batizada”. It is better to buy the ones you know with sealed bottles.  Buy them at establishments and not from people who sell them on the  streets.</em></p>
<p><em>Don’t take much money when you leave your hotel and don’t forget  your ID. In case you are stolen, the damage will not be that big.</em></p>
<p><em> Leave backpacks and purses at home. Only take them if they are  really indispensable and keep on the front of your body in order to  watch them.</em></p>
<p><em>Brazil has a hot weather, so use light clothing.</em></p>
<p><em>Prefer to be with a group of people. Bad intentioned actions may  be avoided. The hint is also worthwhile if you want to take shots or  record something. Be careful with your electronic devices.</em></p>
<p><em>If you have any unpleasant problem, call the Police. They are  able to protect you and give you some advice on what to do.</em></p>
<p><em>The <a href="http://www.metro.sp.gov.br/ingles/index.asp" target="_blank">subway  (Metrô)</a> is the safest means of transportation. Buy your tickets in  advance in order not to handle money many times.</em></p>
<p><em> If you drive somewhere, give preference to park in private  parking lots. Car keepers on the street are not reliable.</em></p>
<p><em>Keep your wallet into a pocket or in a difficult place to be  found.</em></p>
<p><em>Pay attention when using the cell phone. Most cases of robbery  occur when a person is making use of a cell phone.</em></p>
<p><em>Be careful with beggars on the streets asking for help or talking  about some of their diseases.</p>
<p>São Paulo has an excellent gay life. Over <a href="http://www.frommers.com/destinations/saopaulo/2851_indnight.html" target="_blank">40 bars, clubs and saunas</a>.<br />
Please note, that some saunas are frequented by rent boys so agree a  price before you have fun.</p>
<p></em></p>
<p><em>Play Safe!  Wear  condoms!</em></p>
