A lesbian couple from Salford who have millions of TikTok views have praised the city for its inclusivity and named it one of the best places in the country to be gay.
Beth, 32, and Bec, 31, who met at university, have been together for 11 years after moving in together up here.
The duo now run a TikTok account named Beth and Bec, which has received more than two million views and has more than 8,000 followers.
They have seen how inclusive and progressive Salford is since moving to the area.
Beth said: “I’ve always felt like it’s OK to be myself here.”
The couple praised events such as Salford Pride and Pink Picnic.
Beth and Bec started posting to TikTok earlier this year as a fun pastime to do together.
And with Bec managing director for a social media agency, working with different celebrities and content creators, her expertise has helped them grow their own page.
She said: “We’ve grown maybe three or four thousand followers in just a few weeks so it’s doing pretty well. It’s a bit of a creative outlet because obviously we do it day-in day-out for other people so I thought lets give it a go and see what we can do ourselves.”
Posting mainly relatable couple content has allowed them to amass a quick following, hopping on trends and making funny skits.
The two have a shared love for health and fitness and travel; incorporating this into their content – with a video rating safe places to travel for lesbians surpassing 60,000 views.

Beth continued: “When we look for places we want to travel it’s really hard being gay because not everywhere is safe.
“We have to do our own research to see what places are suitable and safe for queer people.
“Can you hold hands? Can you share a hotel room? Can you give each other affection in public?”
The account offers an insightful perspective, while remaining exciting and funny.
