Sweden on top in gay friendly travel rating

Sweden came first in a rating of the gay-friendliest countries in the world, published on Thursday by the Spartacus International Gay Guide.
The guide ranked 128 countries according to their respective laws and local customs, with each nation scored across a board of 14 categories.
"In the new Gay Travel Index we include factors other than the current legal position for homosexuals", explained editor-in-chief Briand Bedford in a statement.

"These factors are for example the state of gay marriage and adoption or the entry restrictions for HIV-positive people as well as religious influence on governments, the ban of Pride parades and specific marketing activities for gay and lesbian tourists."
Sweden scored highest of all in the anti-discrimination legislation category - the only nation to be awarded a maximum three points.
