Only there are like three places, it is always the same, the same people.
Because there are only a few places and we need more party, more gay places.
Not at all, we have two and it's always full, and it's a problem to get in, I mean...
I think there should be more places to party.
If we compare with Barcelona, ​​with New York, with LA, with San Francisco

Hi everyone! Welcome to a new video!
I am Oscar Alejandro, and I am currently at the iconic Miami Beach,
a few meters from the beach, because gay pride is being celebrated today,
here in south Florida.
One of the very few celebrations, if not the only one,
which is dedicated to the LGBTI community.
In this video we will discover several things.
First of all, we want to know if people feel there are enough places to party in the city.
The second, knowing how people perceive Miami as a city and gay destiny.
And later we will also take a tour of those gay places
that you can't stop going...
Are you ready? Join me!

Despite the fact that the world gay pride day is celebrated in the month of June,
it seems that in the Florida state, each city chooses a different day to celebrate it.
For example, in Orlando, it is in October, in Ford Lauderdale and in Miami it is in February.
In Tampa it is in March, and in Miami Beach it is celebrated in April.
Regarding this party, it occurred to me to ask the attendees of the event,
How do they feel the gay atmosphere in Miami?
I think is gay enough, enough to live here, or whatever you want to do here.
But, it is very open, a very open city.
Here you can be gay on the beach, in the downtown, in Kendall...
It's very comfortable being gay in Miami.
There is a very large community here in Miami.
Because here there is a lot of social acceptance.
Although many places are still needed, activities, more festivals and things like that.
It is one of the few cities where the gay issue is openly.
Maybe the state still has a bit of prejudice,
but outside of that you can walk down the street and you are well accepted.
There are many people, there are many different nationalities, Hispanic, American...
I am Spanish and we have the rest of South America.
It could be better, it has potential, it is boring.
Always the same people, always the same places...
Need something better!
Despite the fact that there is no doubt that the gay community in Miami is huge,
I get the impression that there are not many places for gays in the city.
What do people think?
I think not, there are only there places, it is always the same,
the same people, we have to do new activities.
Not really, because there are only a few places and we need more party, more gay places.
We have, Twist, Azucar, here in Miami Beach there are several bars.
Of course not! I mean, we have two places and it is always full, and it is a problem to enter...
I mean, we have nothing!
No, not really, I think there should be more places to go.
If we compare it with Barcelona, ​​with New York, with LA,
with San Francisco, here we don't have a s@$t to do...
There are only two places, Twist and Gaythering.
And also, there is no gay theater.
That is why we are premiering Smiley, which is a gay play in Downtomn Miami.
I definitely think not, we need many more places in Miami.
They are always the same places for a long time,
but we need new places.
Zavala, do you think there are enough gay places to go out in Miami?
There is... I mean, theres not a lot,
but for sure you can go to Twist, Palace, Gaythering...
There is not enough yet.
I know maybe 3...
3 or 4 places that I can go to.
There needs to be more....
No, not really. Like 3 or 4.
If this is so, what do you think if I give you a tour of the Miami gays places?

We will start our tour through one of my favorite places, the GayThering hotel.
It is located in the heart of South Beach,
two blocks from the famous Lincoln Road Boulevard.
It works as a hotel, at night its bar works, and it also has a sauna
that is open to all audiences.
The hotel has 25 rooms, and you can choose between the petit
the large, the studio, or the crate rooms, which are a bit cheaper
because they have the shared bathroom.
I want to show you, that on the outside all the rooms after the number
has as a kind of blackboard and a marker...
In my case for example, I will write my name.
Woao!
I mean, this room is really beautiful, it really causes everything.
But I don't want to stop doing a test that you all have seen...
Alan's test around the world, the bed test.
The reservation of any of this rooms includes breakfast with its divine pancakes unlimited,
the use of bicycles, towels, umbrellas and, if that were not enough,
you can also use their super vans, which they call Priscilla,
in which daily they take you to the nudist beach of Haulover's Beach, at no additional cost.
The hotel bar during the day is a perfect place for you to come to have a work meeting.
But at night the bar is lit with the most beautiful people in the city who come to have a great time.
If you want to stay at the hotel you can now enter its website
www.gaythering.com and when you make the reservation enter the promotional code "super gay",
and you will get a 10% discount on your room.

I'm on the outskirts of Palace, which is one of the most iconic gay places in the city
and it is characterized above all by its drag queen show,
which they always do here on the sidewalk.
Today is a very special day because due to gay pride this is full of people.
I don't know if you listen to me but I want to introduce you to the best Latin music site in Miami.
Welcome to Azucar!
Azucar with more than 20 years of Latin tradition in this city,
it is located two blocks from the popular Coral Way Avenue
and it is open from 10:30 pm until 5 am.
The whole community knows this club for its popular shows with drag queen dancers
and talent scout competitions.
It became the first gay place, which besides being a disco is also a cultural center
open to all kinds of artistic manifestation.
Thursdays are American style, Fridays and Sundays are the cabaret-style comedies
and on Saturdays the gogo dancers and timbaleros are presented.
One of the things I like most about Azucar is that it has an amazing area
for those who wish to smoke.
Soon the Azucar theater will be released, in which outstanding figures of the artistic medium
will be presented on the stage set, from 8 pm to 11 pm.
And then the traditional party will continue.
For all this, you cannot forget that Azucar is the home of the great productions in Miami.
Well, and behind me is Twist,
which is currently the oldest gay bar from all over Miami,
according to what the Netflix series says,
it's the disco that Gianni Versace frequented when he lived in this area.
In fact, his house is a few blocks from this place.
For all this, it is not the best disco on the planet,
but at least is the most frequented by the gay community here in Miami.

Hey! A golden fact, a few meters away where we are,
precisely there, on that road that you can see, there is the only gay beach in Miami Beach.
Join me to discover how it is!
♪♪♪
By the way, I want to introduce you to my friend Miguel, who is accompanying me...
Hello, how are you?
Today on the recording...
And here we are reaching the area that is officially gay.
and for your knowledge, from all over South Beach,
the gay area is just the one on 12th Street.
And, in my opinion, even though the beach is gigantic,
the area that is reserved for the gay community
it really seems to me very small, at least there is a space,
but I feel that could be a little bigger.
It is sufficiently well marked, and see that it is a fairly small area
between this flag and the other flag that is there in the background.
It is the only designated area for people to come here and not feel discriminated against
and that they can have affection with their partner without any problem...
And there is no problem!
♪♪♪
What catches my attention is that you can see the amount of beautiful people on the beach
but they have absolutely nothing to do
with the festival of gay pride that is unfolding actually a few meters away.
I want to confess something, I have lost the desire to continue recording this video
and what I want is to stay with you here at sea.
Incredible but true!
I already showed you the most recognized places of the whole city.
However, if we move away a little,
there is a place that could be said is the only gay city in Florida...
Wilton Manors, from Miami you can drive and it will take 45 minutes on the highway.
Otherwise, the value of an Uber can be found from approximately $ 40.
Or if you prefer to save, you can use the new Brightline Train
whose tickets you find from $ 17.
♪♪♪
And 10 minutes from the Wilton Manors station of the Brightline Train,
using any of these skateboards,
or 5 minutes by car from the city of Fort Lauderdale, did I say it right?
Fort Lauderdale...
We arrived at Wilton Manors, which is a municipality in Broward County here, in South Florida,
where unofficially it is the most gay town in this state.
Join me to discover it!
♪♪♪
Here things are so liberal, so understood,
that even the police cars proudly carry the community flag.
♪♪
I am sure you will be wondering
where most of the nightclubs in this place are...
Well, they are here, in this little mall,
which is called Shoppes of Wilton Manors.
Here in Florida, this site is known as a plaza.
And yes, although it is true, here you can find approximately 4 or 5 nightclubs
where ages, races and nationalities vary.
You can find all kinds of people here.

Hey! They told me, because logically I am not one of them,
the favorite disco of The Bears,
you know what I'm talking about, is this one,
Hunters Night Club...
And by the way, right next to it, there is a cafeteria as well,
it has a Starbucks style, which is called Java Boys.
Walking through this mall I find this store
that only you could find in Wilton Manors.
Without a doubt, as you are already seeing, the clothes are quite striking.

Obviously, this place could not miss a swimwear store,
but look at how colorful they are,
look at the boldness of the models that they offer in this place
Do I go to see how is it?

This is very crazy, notice, this place that is behind my back
it's called GYM, and while I was walking I imagined it was a gym, obviously.
But no, it's a bar and look how people are drinking out there.
Contradictory, but it makes some sense in a place like Wilton Manors.
♪♪♪
And for the bat-pole lovers, you are understanding what I want to tell you,
this is the only place in the area that offers this type of entertainment.
♪♪♪
I imagine that you will be wondering that this looks very quiet
to be the most gay area in all of Florida...
And well, I think the answer is that this really gets good is at night.
And you are wondering: "Oscar, and why didn't you go at night to record this video?"
Because, logically, there is a technical impediment
and it is that the camera does not record very well when there is no sun.
So that's why I decided to come when there is still a little ray.
But you definitely have to come to this area after 10 at night.
And what I have behind me, although it looks like a church, is not...
It’s the biggest gay club in all of Florida and it’s call The Manor,
although it seems very quiet, this gets good is after 12 pm...
It has more than 4 environments.
You definitely have to know this club.
♪♪♪
Walking through the streets of this town
and I find myself in a place that I imagine had to exist, a toy store...
♪♪♪
And here even the stores have names that combine with the city,
for example, this clothing store is called "Out the closet".
You got the joke, didn't you? The message.
