Lugano gay sauna
same-sex couple in Ticino - any problems?
It never really occurred to me to think about it before - I've lived in California and Fresh York for the last 15 years, and while people don't generally "guess" that I'm gay--we don't make out on the bus or anything--I don't make any secret of it - for example, when chatting with co-workers about what we did over the weekend I mention my partner just as somebody would bring up their husband or wife - this has never caused me any problems in the US, but it seemed a nice question to ask now that I'm moving somewhere new.
I know the Swiss are generally reasonably accepting of such things, but I also recognize there can be regional variations in tolerance just as there are in the US. (I'd be far more hesitant to mention my partner if we lived in Utah, for example.) My employer will already know, since they're sponsoring our visas. So it's not fancy it's going to be a huge secret in any case.
Anyone have any experience (either first- or second-hand) in this regard?
The lake resort of Lugano is in the Italian-speaking Swiss canton of Ticino. Nestled beside a shimmering lake, it’s a Swiss Riviera complete with architectural delights, tree-lined promenades, and splendid piazzas.
The climate on this southern side of Switzerland is the warmest in the country, with lots of sunny days to like the scenic beauty.
Lugano is a place meant for strolling, especially in the piazzas and the promenades. Ancient churches abound, not the least of which is the breathtaking San Lorenzo Cathedral. This is a city rich with art galleries, including the Museo d’Arte, located at Villa Malpensata. The homosexual scene in Lugano is small but lively.
Gay life in Lugano revolves around the Gothic Sauna. With fun on three floors, the place includes a Finnish sauna, steam bath, relax rooms, solarium, dark rooms, plus a labyrinth. Hot meals and drinks are ready in a lounge that serves as a reading and discreet cruising room. Nude and foam parties are often hosted here.
