Indeed, there are lgbtq people all over the country, in general in the provinces they are not accepted, that does not mean they will get hurt. Also there are certain trades such as hair stylists and chefs where it is expected to count on a number or majority of lgbtq people. Touristic areas, such as some of the neighborhoods I mentioned are more tolerant / inclusive. Historically in some of the northern provinces they are discriminated and mugged / hurt when spotted.
