Sydney Australia voted best gay-friendly tourist spot

Sydney is swooning over itself. An Australian travel website has named an Australian city the best gay-friendly tourist spot on the planet, as judged by Australian travel agents. Not that we’re disputing the results — Sydney is a swingin’ place to visit and their gay flesh-fest Mardi Gras runs Feb 19 to Mar 6. Toronto finished in eighth in the survey, conducted by expedia.com.au, behind Cape Town, Amsterdam, Sao Paulo, Tel Aviv, Berlin and San Francisco. Top ten? Fine by us.

Now if only we could get Australia to stop freaking out about the internet.
