You'll be happy to hear that Cape town is one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly cities on the entire planet. The rainbow nation legalized same-sex marriages in 2006 - the first country in Africa and the fifth in the world to do so. If you venture out to the poorer areas (which we definitely do not recommend), you'll get some nasty comments, but if you're staying in the more touristy neighborhoods you'll have an absolute blast!
