Montreal is known for its hot n’ happening gay life, as well as its European approach to delicious dining. So it’s only logical that gayness and deliciousness converge in the Montreal Gay Village.

Here are my 5 travel recommendations for what's hot and gay in Montreal for the month of November...

I just finished watching youtube, and boy oh boy, there sure are a ton of people filming their cats. Did you know that there is a cat that plays piano better than I do? How does this video have more views than my Drag Queen Makeover? Life is just so unjust.

But I digress...

In my wanderings, I stumbled across a video that is clear scientific evidence that, not only is Montreal gay friendly, but this city actually makes people gay.

What we see in the beginning of the clip is a group of clearly heterosexual individuals who happen upon the Gay Village during a guided tour. What progresses is a "joie-de-vivre-sexual-awakening" that leaves our protagonist in a heated embrace.

Perhaps Montreal is the gayest place on earth?

"I love you. What’s wrong with that?”

Sherman Miller’s critically acclaimed (and controversial) 1979 play, BENT, will be presented in Montreal from November 5 – 15, 2009.

I am highly anticipating this performance.
