How old do you have to be to get into Flamingos GayBar in Bristol?

The legal drinking age in the UK is 18 and most bars require you to be at least that age. Some bars however have upped that age and require you to be 21 to enter. I suggest that if you plan on going that you give them a call to make sure the minimum age before going, that way you won't be disappointed if you're not old enough to get in.

Recently, the nation's tourism industry has focused heavily on attracting gay tourism in 2011, trying to entice them with gay marriages on Mount Everest. The government is making moves to ensure that the police will enforce laws protecting homosexuals (and not discriminate themselves). Gay travelers in Nepal should still remain conservative; although the government is making changes, local attitudes about homosexuality remain negative and some resent being seen as a "gay travel" destination.PhilippinesManila - Known as the gay capital of Asia.
