Travel Directory 2012 / 2013.
The Travel Industry and the LGBT Community
There has been a lot of attention given to the LGBT traveler in recent years,
and for good reason. Especially in these troubled economic times, LGBT
travelers are an important niche. Making up 5% of the North American
adult population and primarily being a community of DINKs (dual income,
no kids), many travel companies are including the gay and lesbian community
in their marketing plans. If you represent a genuinely LGBT-welcoming
company or destination, there is a place for you in the gay and lesbian
travel marketplace.

An Introduction to LGBT Travel
A Little History
Of course gays and lesbians have been traveling since the beginning of time.
But when we think of an organized gay and lesbian travel industry, it really
started about 25 years ago with a few pioneer individuals forming small
group tours serving gay men, such as Hanns Ebensten. The International Gay
Travel Association formed in 1983, and before that there were a few gay
destinations, such as Key West, and guest houses that served primarily gay
men.
Soon after, the formation of RSVP and Atlantis for gay men, and Olivia for
lesbians, were major milestones in the development of the industry, as these
dedicated operators proved that they could move thousands of LGBT travelers
every year. For the first decade, the organized gay and lesbian travel
industry was primarily among the community itself, and many would argue,
very male-dominated (with the exception of Olivia and key lesbian events).
The next milestone was in 1993 when American Airlines made a strategic,
ground-breaking decision to outreach to the gay and lesbian community.
Among mainstream corporations, American was first to market, and their
early commitment to the community earned them loyalty that exists to this
day. This occurred at the same time when the Wall Street Journal published
an influential article that recognized the gay and lesbian community as a
Dream Market of DINK (Dual Income, No Kids) individuals that were
being underserved by major corporations. This combination of the Wall
Street Journal and American Airlines recognizing the LGBT market opened
the flood gates, and gradually through the next decade, thousands of
mainstream tour operators, airlines, hotels and destinations initiated
gay and lesbian outreach programs.
An Expanding Niche
Probably the most important development in the past five years is the recogni-
tion that gay and lesbian does not clearly define the community. A popular
term today is LGBT, meaning the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender
community, which is more inclusive. However, even this term does not really
define the complexity of the community. The reality is that just like every
other community, the LGBT community represents every segment of life. To
understand the LGBT community is to recognize that there is everything from
gay party boys to lesbian soccer-moms, gay Republicans and gay Green Party
members, lesbian sports organizations, gay business organizations and queer
student organizations and so much more. The concerns and travel habits of
young men are different than older women, and the concerns and travel
patterns of LGBT communities of color are different too.
There has been considerable research completed over the last decade of the
travel habits of the broad niche that defines themselves as gay or lesbian.
Only in the last few years has research been completed, recognizing the
travel patterns of the many distinct groups within the community.
To be successful today is to recognize what part of the LGBT community is
right for your company or destination.
Everyone Has a Place in the LGBT Travel Industry
Gay & Lesbian Dedicated Products, Tours and Services: There are
many operators that offer gay-specific products. Industry leaders like Atlantis,
RSVP and Olivia offer some of the most highly visible products in the industry.
LGBT-friendly Destinations with LGBT Market Outreach: Over
150 tourism boards have active outreach campaigns for the LGBT market.
Organizations all across the world are opening their doors to the community.
Gay & Lesbian Specific Hotels: Many destinations have hotels that
specialize in the gay and lesbian market. These hotels tend to be small (under
50 rooms), but in destinations like Fort Lauderdale and Palm Springs, collec-
tions of 20 or more small properties create quite a force in their communities.
LGBT-friendly Mainstream Hotels: These days, what hotel chain is not
gay-friendly? Kimpton, Hyatt, W, Hilton, Westin, Marriott and many more
have initiated outreach efforts to attract gay and lesbian guests.
LGBT-friendly Tour Operators, Airlines and Cruise Lines: Many
major airlines, car rental companies and tour operators have active LGBT
outreach programs. Successful operators have used various strategies,
including offering the same product but changing their image in the
community, offering progressive product (environment, education, yoga),
offering upscale product (better educated, more gay-friendly), or working
with gay agents or operators to form small or large gay groups.
LGBT Events and Parties: Almost every major city has one to five major
gay and lesbian events. In California, four of the top ten events in the state
are gay and lesbian. These events move tens of thousands, and in some
cases hundreds of thousands of people.
Gay and Lesbian Travel Media: From internet sites, to glossy magazines,
to consulting firms, the gay and lesbian media are ready to help connect
travel businesses to the LGBT travel consumer.
LGBT Meetings and Conventions: Every type of organization in the
mainstream world has its equivalent in the gay world, from gay bowling
leagues and lesbian choruses, to gay rodeo competitions and LGBT medical
associations. These organizations hold hundreds of meetings every year.
Gay, Lesbian and LGBT-friendly Travel Agents: Travel agents are an
important part of the the LGBT travel community. Many of these agents are
true pioneers who have been working in the gay tourism industry for decades.
Lesbian, Gay, Transgender and Bisexual Travelers: And of course,
there is the most important part... the LGBT traveler.
There is a Place for You: The point is, there is a place for every company
in the gay and lesbian travel industry. While many companies come to the
community because of their economic clout, companies that become involved
notice something else. The LGBT community is a particularly loyal and fun
segment. The community welcomes everyone, and rewards those that have a
genuine concern for serving customers with openness, dignity and respect.

LGBT Marketing Success: Twelve First Year Steps
Community Marketing, Inc. (CMI) has been assisting tourism companies reach the
LGBT communities for over 15 years. In 2011, CMI worked with over 1,000 tourism
bureaus, hotels, airlines, tour operators and events. Through the years we have
witnessed some incredible success stories. The common traits among these
companies were a goal of building a relationship with the LGBT community first
and taking a multi-year perspective.
If your company or organization is just starting a marketing plan to reach the
LGBT community, we offer twelve simple steps to building a foundation of
marketing success. Of course, every business is different. The marketing needs
of a tourism bureau are very different than those of a travel agency or hotel.
Some of these guidelines may apply more than others; its up to you to interpret
these points for your own situation. It is also assumed that before you start
marketing, your companys house is in order. The very first step for any
company is to assure their personnel policies are LGBT-friendly, diversity training
is in place and the commitment to serve the LGBT community exists on all levels
from owners, to management and to line staff.
1) Slow Down and Start Planning: Some of the biggest mistakes we have
seen stem from over-enthusiasm. It is fine to take as long as you need for research,
training, planning and implementation. If this process takes many months, that is
fine. Prematurely stepping into the LGBT market before you are ready will result
in poor performance, and in some cases a negative first impression. Companies
that jump in too fast often are discouraged and leave the market for years.
2) Tracking: Another early decision to make is the importance of tracking and
Return on Investment. All companies say ROI is important, but few are developing
effective tracking mechanisms for the LGBT community. Some companies are
comfortable with just the perceived increase in LGBT customers. Others require
complicated tracking mechanisms. Know how you will gauge and evaluate your
success before you start, and gear your marketing efforts towards reaching those
numbers. Your marketing plan must lead to what your company will recognize
as success.
3) Community Involvement: One of the most common mistakes made by a
company entering the LGBT market is placing a couple of full-page ads in a gay
magazine and wondering why the phones dont ring. During the first year,
advertising should be secondary to community involvement. Get out there.
Sponsor and/or attend community events, talk to people and understand the
community and their response to your company before starting your advertising
campaign. Some of the most successful companies in the LGBT market are those
that develop a community partnership approach first and traditional advertising
second. Also, the benefits of sponsoring certain events and organizations can
prove to be very effective advertising choices.
4) Determine Who is Your Customer: Unless you have a massive budget or
your product has very broad appeal, stop thinking in terms of marketing to
the entire LGBT community. Instead, decide which segments of the many LGBT
communities are right for your destination, product or service. That segment might
be geographical, lifestyle, gender, age, relationship status or more. Few companies
have the resources to market to the broad community, so targeting your efforts
will produce a better ROI.

!"#$%&'("%)*+",-./-0(1#& 343/4/- 5637 8#9% :
5) Your Website is Very Important: The LGBT community is very
connected to the Internet. Care needs to be taken with how your company
presents itself on the Internet. What message are you portraying if you
create a dedicated gay and lesbian display ad, which then directs customers
to an overtly heterosexual website? Or maybe you present a weak gay
microsite compared to your mainstream site, or perhaps your website just looks
lame. Display ads may generate interest in your destination, service or product,
but your website needs to complete the sale. Developing a positive presence on
the Internet should be your first marketing priority.
6) Get Listed: Once your website is fantastic, get listed. One of the most
cost-effective advertising strategies is to be listed on all the sites where gays and
lesbians are likely to research their travel. Many of these listing sites are free,
very low cost or pay per click.
7) Think Like Your Customer: After you determine who your most-likely
LGBT customers are, start thinking like your customer. Which websites do they
frequent? What print media do they read? Which community organizations are
important to them? The LGBT media is becoming increasingly segmented.
This is a positive for marketers, because we can create custom messages in
well-matched media and save.
8) Fulfill the Promise: One of the biggest mistakes tour operators and event
planners can make is being overly optimistic on projections. Start slow, and be
realistic in the number of tours planned or people attending a first year event.
Promising a dozen tours and then canceling half of them, or promising 10,000
people at an event when only 500 attend can kill a companys reputation.
Establish and communicate realistic expectations and build every year.
9) Media Buys: Purchasing LGBT media is complicated. There are hundreds
of national, regional and activity-based print and Internet media. There are
a few large circulation magazines, but most of the print publications are
small circulation and off the radar of most traditional ad agencies. For many,
developing an LGBT media plan can feel overwhelming. Community Marketing,
Inc. evaluates media on a number of levels. For example, for print publications,
we are looking at the number of magazines published and their distribution
method. Is it mailed to paid subscribers, handed out free in the neighborhoods
or is the distribution plan undefined? We are looking at the cost per impression,
the quality of the distribution and the match between readership and advertiser.
Also, subscribe to LGBT print magazines and regularly visit LGBT websites. Pay
attention to the messages, ads and images that grab your attention. Continually
monitor your competition.
10) Barter: Most travel-related companies have a product that is highly
desirable to the LGBT media and non-profits. Barter is a great way to extend
your budget. But dont expect to be able to barter your entire media plan. Media
companies need to pay the rent and salaries too. Part cash / part barter offers
can usually work for everyone.
11) Breaking Even the First Year is Success: Say your company budgets
$10,000 for the LGBT market for year one. And at the end of the year, if you
can show $30,000 income from your initiatives, you have been successful. No
market can be won in a day or a year. The first year is about breaking even,
learning, and growing the business in the years to come. Companies that enter
the LGBT market expecting huge short-term profit are usually disappointed.
12) Empower: Let your LGBT employees and customers become your
sales people. Often your gay employees, even those without marketing
backgrounds, can be your best sales people. They are proud of their
companys support for the community and want to tell the world. Train them on
the marketing talking points, and let them spread the all important word
of mouth. Same with your LGBT guests. Get them involved, let them know you
would consider making a donation to an organization that is important to them.
Give incentives to your best customers for referrals to other LGBT guests.
Marketing to the gay and lesbian community can feel overwhelming at first.
Sometimes it helps for your company or agency to get some short-term or
long-term advice. Advice can come from outside consulting groups, your own
employees and from gay and lesbian consumers themselves through focus
group and survey research.
Community Marketings clients often tell us that their involvement in the gay
and lesbian community has been a lot of fun. Many tell us the lessons learned
from being involved in the LGBT market have been invaluable to expanding
other markets. The final piece of advice is to have fun with the LGBT market.
If you are not having fun, whats the point?

CMIs 2011 LGBT Travel Survey
For the past 16 years, Community Marketing has been conducting the annual
LGBT Tourism Study. This is the most quoted ongoing LGBT research ever with
hundreds of national and local media sources picking up the annual trends. The
research is also extremely popular, because CMI provides it for free on our
website. Download the full report at www.CommunityMarketingInc.com.
Key findings from CMIs 16th Annual LGBT Tourism Study have been compiled
from responses from self-identified gay and lesbian consumers who read LGBT
publications, visit LGBT websites, and attend LGBT events. With thousands of
respondents, this study polled more qualified, community-representative
respondents than any other LGBT tourism survey, and offers valuable insights
about consumers who may be reached through LGBT-dedicated marketing
initiatives.
In addition to the Tourism Study, CMI produces online surveys, focus groups,
field studies and customer satisfaction evaluations for a wide variety of clients
including CVBs, DMOs and tourism offices, tour operators, hospitality groups, real
estate developers and many more. In 2011 alone, CMI collected and analyzed
over 100,000 gay and lesbian survey responses.
According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, the travel and tourism industry
in the United States generated more than $1.3 trillion in economic output in
2010. Based on this data and CMI sample demographics, we estimate that the
annual economic impact of LGBT travelers is over US$65 billion per year in the
U.S. alone.
Key Findings, Observations and Trends for 2012
1) Overall, the LGBT community has increased their travel in the last year,
compared to the year before. Most destinations surveyed increased LGBT travel
by 1 to 3% in the past year. This is in contrast to the last two years, which saw
a decrease in LGBT travel due to the global economic recession.
2) CMIs annual destination rankings did not see much change from the previous
year. However some cities did see a more significant increase. New York City
has always been the number one LGBT destination in the USA and the city has
slightly increased its lead over the traditional second and third place cities of
San Francisco and Las Vegas. New Orleans continues to gain visitors and is
approaching pre-Katrina rankings. Miami has increased its LGBT tourism and
has jumped back into the top ten for USA destinations.
3) New York City scored #1 in all three key indicators; actual visits to the
destination in past 12 months, most gay-friendly destination in the world and
personal favorite destination. Las Vegas, San Francisco and London also scored
well in all three indicators.
4) Considering their size and number of hotel rooms, Provincetown, Key West
and Palm Springs scored extremely well in all three indicators. If you would
analyze the data by number of hotel rooms in a destination, these three
destinations would be the most popular in the United States.
5) In the USA, 85% of gay male survey respondents and 77% of lesbians own a
valid passport. 54% of gay men used their passport in the last year.
6) Gay men are much more likely to describe themselves as both urban core
travelers and warm weather travelers. Gay men and LGBTs under 35 are far
more likely to indicate that they are urban core travelers than lesbians.
7) Survey results suggest the mid-range market is the biggest group among LGBT
travelers, followed by economy/budget, and then luxury.
8) The LGBT economy/budget market is larger than many people assume. Far
more LGBT travelers consider themselves to be economy/budget travelers
than luxury travelers, indicating an opportunity for every tier of travel
marketers. Budget traveling is not about income; it is about consumers
spreading their travel funds across as many vacations as possible. Among
economy/budget LGBT travelers, only about a third indicated they stay at
economy hotels because they are low income. Most indicated they would rather
spend their money on more frequent vacations, local attractions or restaurants.
9) Approximately 3% of gay men and 19% of lesbians indicated having
children under 18 living at home. Once gay men or lesbians have children,
family-friendly travel preferences become more important than LGBT-friendly
travel preferences by a 2-1 margin.
10) Attending LGBT events are key motivators within the LGBT community,
generating a high number of hotel nights. On average, gay men and lesbians
spend three nights in a destination when traveling for an event.
11) Before booking a trip, gay men and lesbians compare on average three to
four websites before making a purchase.
12) Results indicate that gay men and lesbians are more likely to travel to
destinations with gay-friendly reputations/laws. However, the survey asked a
number of questions in different ways to analyze the effectiveness of LGBT
destination boycotts. Community Marketing, Inc. focus groups indicate that
while corporate boycotts can be effective, destination boycotts are not effective
because many LGBT people dont penalize communities/people because of
national or state laws. The survey results confirm these findings. Only about a
third of gay men and lesbians are inclined to not travel to destinations with
anti-gay bias. More importantly, it became clear that a destinations reputation
for anti-gay violence is a better predictor than anti-gay laws in deterring LGBT
travel. News stories about gay bashing in a destination may in fact be more
damaging than anti-gay laws (although these two considerations are often
related).
13) The top four motivators in choosing one hotel over another are the hotels
location, price, free Wi-Fi Internet access and the hotels gay-friendly reputation.
Gay Pride is still a significant travel motivator for LGBTs under 35. The
younger generation is more likely to travel to another city for Pride than their
older LGBT counterparts.
14) 71% of gay men and 62% of lesbians own a smart phone, and 60% of
LGBT smartphone owners use their smartphones during their trips to finds local
tourism resources.

Spain Welcomes You With Open Arms
Spains popularity with gay and lesbian travelers keeps growing. What draws
gays and lesbians to Spain? They are attracted to its world-renowned art and
stunning architecture, its inventive cuisine, the high quality of its accommodations
and its sizzling nightlife.
Madrid is a true art lovers paradise with the Museo Nacional del Prado, the
Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofa and the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza
having doubled their size a few years ago and ten minutes from each other.
However, Spains capital is not just about serious artistic pursuits. Lately, the city
has seen a boom in trendy new boutique hotels offering cutting-edge design
along with all the latest technological amenities. And with some of the worlds
hottest nightlife, Madrid rocks until dawn.
Barcelona, the countrys most popular
destination for gays and lesbians, was home
to Dal, Gaud and Picasso. A cosmopolitan
Mediterranean city, it offers Roman ruins,
medieval districts and arguably the worlds
most beautiful Modernist architecture. The
vibrant Catalonian capital has fabulous
dining and exciting nightlife.
Avant-garde art, fashion, music and leisure
are usually present in Bilbao with latest
generation clubs and shops; light, pop and
rock music concerts; and live music at pubs. Gastronomy is an art in Bilbao. The
city is home to prestigious restaurants which offer dishes ranging from traditional
cuisine to the most avant-garde culinary creations. Since its opening in 1997, the
Guggenheim museum is the symbol of Bilbao and how much a museum can shape
a city. Designed by architect Frank O. Gehry, this ultramodern building is a
magnificent place to display masterpieces of modern and contemporary art.
Andalusia, the cradle of flamenco, tapas and sherry, is home to monumental
Moorish cities and charming pueblos blancos. Everybody is talking about
Crdoba, Sevilla, Mlaga and Granada.
Valencia has always been known for
its gastronomy and as the birthplace
of paella. Calatravas futuristic City
of Arts & Sciences and its new
Bioparc are also welcoming visitors.
For beach lovers, Spain has long
stretches of white sand lining its
Mediterranean and Atlantic coasts.
One of Europes most popular gay resort destinations is the charming town of
Sitges. And across the Mediterranean waters, the Balearic Islands, especially Ibiza,
have been attracting club goers and trendy fashionistas for years.
Tapas are everywhere and have become the worlds new way of eating. While
the countrys celebrated chefs experiment and gather Michelin stars, regional
restaurateurs continue to prepare
superb traditional fare. Ferran Adria,
Juan Mari Arzak, and Martin
Berasategui have given to the Spanish
food worldwide recognition.
Venture into the heart and the way of
life of some of Spains oldest wine-
growing regions on a wine route. Enjoy
varied and delicious cuisines in unique
destinations with choices to suit all
tastes. Visit a winery, find out how wine
is made, stay in the beautiful wine-
growing countryside, enjoy your first
tastings, and discover the delights of pairing food and wine. Find experiences
that will awaken your senses to all the joys that Spain and the wonderful world
of wine have to offer. Medieval wineries alongside ultramodern ones dot the
countryside in La Rioja, Ribera de Duero, Jerez, Albario or Penedes D. O.s wine
regions. Stop, unwind, and taste at the spa hotel designed by Frank O. Gehry in
Elciego, La Rioja alavesa; the experience is surely to never be forgotten.
Find adventure, enlighten and make new friends on the pilgrimage route along
the World heritage-listed Way of Saint James. Follow in the footsteps of pilgrims
from the French-Spanish border to Santiago de Compostela. Explore its mountains
and valleys as you walk, cycle, or horseback riding through a life changing
experience.
If you have not yet decided on the best way to visit Spain just make a selection
of the thirteen World Heritage Cities by UNESCO: Alcala de Henares, vila,
Caceres, Cordoba, Cuenca, Ibiza, Merida, Salamanca, San Cristobal de la Laguna,
Santiago de Compostela, Segovia, Tarragona and Toledo, all cities in which art,
culture and history melt together to impress the traveler.
So this year come to Spain and be ready for a warm welcome. Just follow your
hosts relaxed approach to life and feel free to be yourself wherever you go.

GERMANY
Situated in the heart of Europe, Germany not only has an ideal geographic location,
it might also be considered the center of gay Europe. The LGBT community in
Germany is an important part of society and enjoys some of Europes most advanced
rights for gays and lesbians. The German Foreign Minister and the Mayor of Berlin
show that being out of the closet does not pose any obstacles to a political or public
career. Well-organized and lively LGBT communities have sprung up in all major and
many small-sized cities and numerous gay events take place throughout the year,
peaking with the annual pride parades, in Germany known as Christopher Street Day
Parades. In Germany the gay traveler gets to experience a wide variety of cultural
attractions, vibrant cities, natural beauty and a well-integrated LGBT scene.
Berlin
The German capital is one of the largest gay metropolises in Europe. The dynamic
and diverse LGBT scene contributes to the citys culture and vitality. The neighbor-
hoods Schneberg, Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg and Friedrichshain have become
trendy and hip not only with gays and lesbians but with artists, young and creative
people. Berlin has become a creative capital and a mecca for artists. While the
architecture clearly indicates a change to modernity, the creative and inventive
climate is what characterizes Berlin best. Numerous museums and galleries are proof
of the various art and cultural eras of Berlin. Additionally today the art can be felt
publicly, on walls, in galleries and in alternative centers, especially in Kreuzberg and
Prenzlauer Berg. There are more than 150 gay bars, free city magazines, book-
stores, pharmacies, sports clubs, boutiques, same sex dancing classes and studios,
language courses, radio broadcasts and even a gay French fries kiosk. Some of
Berlins main attractions should not be missed, such as the Brandenburg Gate, the
TV tower on Alexanderplatz Square, the Memorial Church, Gendarmenmarkt Square,
the dome of the Reichstag and the Museum Island.
Cologne
The historic city on the river Rhine,
known for its Cathedral, has its very
own joie de vivre. The city is made up of
cosy cafes and bars, where Klsch, the
local Cologne beer, flows constantly.
Locals enjoy themselves at clubs, bars,
restaurants and lounges in the quarters of Kwartier Latng, Friesenviertel, Belgisches
Viertel, Sdstadt and Ehrenfeld. They are communicative, optimistic and tolerant and
most of all: they love their city. You can sense this especially during the carnival
season when the whole city celebrates and has fun! Enjoy also Colognes many
museums, the Art Cologne exhibition, a lively art and music scene and one of
Germanys biggest gay pride parades.
Munich
The LGBT community in Munich is very active and the event calendar stretches from
a Rose Monday gay ball until the Gay Sunday during Oktoberfest, before all gays
and lesbians get together for Pink Christmas in the Glockenbachviertel the heart
of LGBT Munich. The international art and culture metropolis is situated close to the
Alps in the South of Germany and is a good starting point for skiing, excursions
and visiting many historic castles.
Frankfurt
Germanys financial capital, Frankfurt, often called Mainhattan referring to
the adjacent river Main and the skyscrapers that remind vaguely of Manhattan,
is rather small, but multi-cultural and international due to the high density of
international businesses. It offers fine dining, shopping and impressive galleries.
The Rmerberg Square and the old town hall are the center of historic Frankfurt.
Get up the Main Tower to get the best panorama of the city. Frankfurts LGBT
scene concentrates around the Bermuda Dreieck (Bermuda Triangle), north
of Konstablerwache, with Frankfurts most popular gay bars, coffee places
and clubs. Several cultural places are worth a visit such as Frankfurts Angel
at Klaus-Mann Square, Germanys first memorial to gay and lesbian victims
of National Socialism.
Hamburg
Live and let live is the motto in Hamburg.
With its 800 year-old harbor, which is perfect
for strolls and sightseeing by boat, Hamburg
offers a mix of old and new, modern and
traditional. The natives love Hamburg for
its abundance of water with spacious lakes
and peaceful canals. Hamburg is a very
open-minded city which is why everybody feels
very welcome here. The quarter of St Georg with its many cafes and bars is the
gay hotspot in Hamburg and the city is also famous for its Christopher Street
Day and leather convention. A highlight for nightlife in Hamburg is the

VANCOUVER
It started with a march. On August 1, 1981, 1,500 people filed down Vancouvers
Pacific Avenue as part of the citys first official Pride parade. Fast-forward more
than three decades and Vancouver is a vibrant capital of LGBT culture, home to
one of North Americas biggest Pride celebrations and the largest gay and lesbian
community in Western Canada.
Cant-miss Events
The Vancouver Pride Parade & Festival (July 30-Aug. 5, 2012) now draws an
estimated half-million people to city streets every summer. Festivities last an
entire week, with options ranging from gala street parties to beer gardens,
large-scale dance parties, cultural symposiums, movie nights and theme nights
at downtown dance clubs, culminating with the Pride Parade and Sunset Beach
Pride Festival.
The largest queer arts event in Canada, the Vancouver Queer Film Festival
(Aug. 16-Aug. 26, 2012) is enjoyed by more than 13,000 movie-lovers every
August for cutting-edge queer cinema from around the world. Screenings are
accompanied by live performances, workshops and talks from queer stars and
directors.
Every February, nearby Whistler hosts the weeklong WinterPRIDE event
(Feb. 5-Feb. 12, 2012). More than 2,000 skiers and boarders converge on
North Americas top-rated ski resort for world-class slopes, lavish themed celebra-
tions and the best aprs-ski parties anywhere.
Inside the Communities
But theres more to Vancouver than just Pride
and parties. The heart of the citys dynamic gay
community is downtowns West End, a mix of
quaint residential rows and newer high-rise towers,
all bordered by the beaches of English Bay and a
string of waterfront parks. At the neighborhoods
core is Davie Village several blocks of boutique
shopping and bookstores, intimate bistros and eth-
nic restaurants, and after dark some of the hottest gay and straight nightlife
in the city.
Across town, the funky Commercial Drive neighborhood has long been a center
of the lesbian community. Located in progressive East Vancouver, The Drive is
a place where record stores selling the latest vinyl sit side by side with Italian
bakeries run by third-generation immigrants and tiny cafes packed with people
who know their coffee. Its welcoming, unabashedly authentic and a great place
to meet locals who love their city.
Stepping Out on the Town
Got your bearings? Time for some retail therapy. Head to historic Gastown
for one-of-a-kind interior design; take the ferry to Granville Island for original
artworks from local artisans; or flash some serious plastic along Alberni Street,
downtowns mini Rodeo Drive.
Culture buffs can choose from Western Canadas largest art museum, the
symphony, the opera or live Shakespeare on the beach, not to mention a
downtown theater district showcasing everything from Broadway hits to
experimental local works. Day-of and deeply discounted tickets are available
at Tickets Tonight. Hungry? Ethnic flair, progressive menus and fresh and
locally-sourced ingredients are the cornerstones of a culinary scene in Vancouver
that the New York Times called truly outstanding.
And after dark: The only place to be is Davie Street. The party rages deep into
the night at chic lounges and leather bars, thumping nightclubs and casual pubs.
Offerings range from drag shows to slam poetry readings and attract a mixed
gay and straight crowd.
Wedding Bells
Vancouver is also a hub for couples tying
the knot. British Columbia legalized
same-sex marriage in 2003, and Canada
followed suit two years later. Today, the
city is home to a comprehensive network
of hotels, venues, wedding planners and marriage commissioners who specialize
in creating the perfect day for same-sex partners.

Wining and Dining
In Toronto, a world of food awaits anyone who wants to explore the cuisines of
the city and experience Torontos diversity. With 8,000 restaurants Torontos
culinary options are pretty unlimited
from Indian and Asian fusion to
French and Italian, Toronto fills any
belly before a night on the town.
A contemporary feel, tasty creations
and one of the hottest patios in the
Village beckons at Fuzion Resto-
Lounge & Garden, while celebrity
chefs like Jamie Kennedy offer
unpretentious sophistication in their
cuisine, servers and dcor.
Shopping
Torontos shopping experience is to die for. The retail world created by specialty
shops, boutiques and department stores will boggle the mind as it tests the
resolve of any disciplined shopper. From mammoth malls to intimate kiosks,
designer outlets to high-end haute couture, every neighbourhood bursts with
one-of-a-kind shops or open-air markets. While many of these areas embrace
luxury, the shopping district of Yorkville with nearby Holt Renfrew and the
chic shops of Hazelton Lanes is the quintessential home of style and design,
with product from Thien LE and David Dixon to fashion stalwarts the likes of
Herms, Tiffany and Chanel.
World Pride Comes
to Toronto
Tourism Toronto, in partnership
with Pride Toronto, is excited
and anxiously awaiting the
honour of hosting World Pride
in 2014. As part of a bid team
that included Toronto Police
Service and sponsor TD Bank,
Toronto was successful in
landing World Pride in 2014.
The win was announced at
InterPrides conference in St.
Petersburg, Florida, where
representatives of the bid
committee were in full force,
demonstrating the citys support for the bid. This recent business adds to the
growing list of LGBT organizations who are choosing Toronto to host their
prestigious international conferences.
Seek Chic in Toronto with Stylish and Sophisticated Factoids
Toronto is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, a place where
international ideas intersect with Canadian culture. An international city of
warmth, openness, energy and style, Toronto is enriched by the fusion of
traditions, passions and perspectives on life of the more than 100 cultures that
are found in this city. Ever-evolving and ever-surprising, inspiring ideas converge
here; original thought is celebrated, and magic happens as a result.
The Village
Toronto is home to Canadas
largest gay community and
welcomes visitors from all walks
of life. The Gay Village, or The
Village as the locals call it, is a
predominantly gay neighbourhood
nestled amidst Torontos downtown core centered at the intersection of Church and
Wellesley Streets. The area is packed with cafs, restaurants, gay-oriented shops
and a vast array of hot bars and nightspots filled with hot boys and hot girls,
energy, passion and opportunity. The Village also acts as the epicentre for
festivals like PRIDE WEEK one of the worlds largest Pride Celebrations and
Halloweek a wicked weeklong Halloween celebration, where streets overflow
with candy for the sweet tooth, and the eyes.
Queer West Village
One of the best things about queer nightlife in Toronto is that it stretches far
beyond the Village. Are they or arent they? is irrelevant as they party with
open-minded, mixed crowds at bars throughout the city in neighbourhoods such
as Queer West Village. Here exists an edginess and funkiness that is a rich mix
of populations, gay and straight, young and old, and with a decidedly progressive
and countercultural bent. Queer West is more of an attitude than an identity
new and radical with a thriving underground gay scene exploding all over the
neighbourhood.
Arts and Architecture
Its no wonder Toronto ranks as one of the top cities in the world to experience
culture. With redesigned institutions like the Royal Ontario Museum and its
Michael Lee Chin Crystal expansion by Daniel Libeskind and Frank Gehrys newly
renovated Art Gallery of Ontario. Toronto is home to thousands of years of
diverse culture, international art exhibits and contemporary Canadian works that
cant be found anywhere else. Opera and ballet offerings at the Four Seasons
Centre for the Performing Arts are all just within a few blocks of these and
other gems that make up Torontos architectural landscape.
Toronto International Film Festival
The cast of your favourite entertainment magazines descend with entourages
and toy dogs in tow as the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) takes over
each year for 10 days in September. Acclaimed as the most successful public
film festival in the world, the festival comprises world premieres, galas,
associated schmoozes and parties illuminated with stars, directors and industry
honchos making their rounds around the city.

ALASKA
The best way to see Alaska is on the Railroad!
Alaska. Its big. Its WILD. But, mostly its wonderful. And the Alaska
Railroad is the best way to see it.
During the summer, mid-May to mid-September, Alaska Railroad
trains depart north and south every day from Anchorage, Alaskas
largest city. Two trains run south, one with an early morning departure
for Seward, the other leaves mid-morning for Whittier and further
into the Kenai Mountains, Spencer Glacier and the alpine paradise
of Grandview.
Going north, the Denali Star train makes it way through Alaskas
interior to Talkeetna, Denali National Park and Fairbanks, the
railroads northernmost point. At the same time, another train
travels south from Fairbanks along the same route.
The Alaska Railroad is Alaskas premier transportation service but
also offers a full array of day tours such as rail-plus hiking, rafting,
day boat cruising or flightseeing. They also offer fully-customizable
rail vacation options that travel the length of the railbelt, are inclusive
of all hotel and tours and range from 2 12 days. If you need a
little guidance on where to visit and what to do while visiting Alaska,
the Alaska Railroads full staff of Alaska-based reservation agents is
ready to answer your questions and help you plan your perfect Alaska
vacation.
Winter travel on the train is becoming more popular and the Alaska
Railroad is expanding its winter rail vacations to accommodate
intrepid visitors. The lure of budget travel, smaller crowds, and the
northern lights makes Alaska an attractive destination.
Winter packages include accommodations in Anchorage, Talkeetna
and Fairbanks and activities such as flightseeing in Talkeetna, snow
machine rides near Anchorage and a visit to Chena Hot Springs near
Fairbanks. Some visitors combine the trip to coincide with Fur
Rendezvous, the Iditarod or Yukon Quest sled dog races or even the
International Ice Art Championships in Fairbanks; a world-renown
ice carving competition.
The Alaska Railroad is proud of its level of authentic Alaskan

PORTLAND
By Andrew Collins
In Portland, youll find natural beauty, distinctive neighborhoods, culture galore
and a friendly, inclusive atmosphere.
Portland has long had a reputation for being individualistic, quirky and ... dare
we say it, queer. Never keen to conform to mainstream standards, Portland has a
laid-back style and a reverence for all things local an irresistible combination
for chefs, environmentalists, filmmakers, musicians, writers, techies and just
about anyone else who enjoys coloring outside the lines.
Sprinkled among Portlands population are several artsy LGBT notables, including
filmmakers Gus Van Sant and Todd Haynes, musicians Thomas Lauderdale (Pink
Martini) and Beth Ditto (The Gossip), and Fight Club novelist Chuck Palahniuk.
Any of these luminaries might be seen at Portlands annual Red Dress Party,
www.reddresspdx.com. This spring event which benefits local LGBT charities
inspires guys and gals alike to don red party wear and celebrate into the wee
hours. The diverse crowd (Chelsea Clinton attended in 2008) is representative of
Portlands spirit of inclusion. Here, its never a surprise to find a mix of gays,
straights and everyone in between mingling in shops, restaurants, hotels and bars
all over town, such as the Aalto Lounge on Southeast Belmont Street or Cafe
Destino in Northeast Portland.
So, where do gays and lesbians hang out in Portland? Its hard to choose one
area there are popular LGBT spots all around the city, from the urbane Pearl
District to free-spirited Hawthorne. Heres a look at a few of Portlands most
gay-welcoming neighborhoods.
Downtown: In the citys urban core, the Cultural District is where youll find
many local arts institutions, from the museums along the tree-shaded South Park
Blocks to the opulent Arlene Schnitzer
Concert Hall. The West End (adjacent
to the Pearl District) has a handful
of gay bars and cafs. The verdant
campus of Portland State University
hosts a farmers market on Saturdays,
and RiverPlace encompasses a marina,
hotels and waterfront shops and
eateries.
Pearl District: Once an industrial
district, the Pearl has sprung to life
in recent years, its sturdy warehouses
converted into sleek restaurants,
boutiques, art galleries and lounges.
Stylish residential towers rise
alongside the neighborhoods older
structures, which include Powells City
of Books, the largest independent
bookstore in the world.
Old Town/Chinatown: Snug between the Willamette River and the Pearl,
this historic district contains numerous galleries and gay nightlife favorites and is
home to the Portland Saturday Market. You can also stroll through the tranquil
Lan Su Chinese Garden or go underground with Portland Walking Tours to
explore the citys Shanghai Tunnels.
Mississippi Avenue: Ethnically diverse, Mississippi Avenue is one of several
eastside neighborhoods where independent businesses and creative spirits thrive.
In this DIY neighborhood, youll find down-home taqueras, one of Portlands
best comic book stores (Bridge City Comics), a huge emporium of reclaimed
building materials (the ReBuilding Center) and Q Center, www.pdxqcenter.org,
which serves the LGBTQ community.
Hawthorne & Belmont: These two southeast outposts of hippie and hipster
culture have long been popular with lesbians and gays. Diverting, affordable
and funky coffeehouses, bars, secondhand clothiers and boutiques line
Hawthorne Boulevard and Belmont Street.
No matter which part of town you visit (we humbly recommend them all),
youll be welcomed with genuine warmth. And you neednt take our word for
it Portland has been ranked among the best places to live in America by
such wide-ranging authorities as Girlfriends magazine, Mens Journal and
Money Magazine.
So, plan your trip soon and find out for yourself why this city of nearly
600,000 has become such a draw for gay visitors.

SAN FRANCISCO
Gay Mecca
San Francisco didnt become the gay Mecca by being gray. The citys colorful
49 square miles have one of the highest per capita gay populations in the world,
and for good reason. It doesnt just wave the rainbow flag. San Francisco
invented it. In 78, to be exact.
This place is always churning out
new ideas (heard of Twitter?),
concoctions (thank SF for the
martini) and communities (first
openly Gay Mens Chorus). With
tons to do, its not surprising San
Francisco has so much dedicated
to the LGBT rights movement
and right to party.
Out and About in the Castro
Revolving around the famed Castro Theater, the Castro neighborhood is a
magnet for LGBT locals and visitors. Not-to-miss spots include Cliffs Variety, a
hardware-party-toy-barware store thats been around forever and Under One
Roof for artisanal gifts benefiting local AIDS organizations. The Best in Show
pet boutique offers quality chew toys for Fido and the weekly Castro Farmers
Market is the place to check out all things delicious including the food.
Begin where it all began
The history of the LGBT rights movement reaches to every neighborhood in the
city. Visitors should pack layers and start with a stroll through the National AIDS
Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park and then head to the center of the universe
Castro and Market. Pink Triangle Park and Harvey Milk Plaza are worth a stop,
where the 20-by 30-foot rainbow flag flies at the intersection and beginning of
the Castro. The GLBT Historical Society (www.glbthistory.org) calls the heart of
the Castro home and boasts an ongoing exhibit titled Our Vast Queer Past:
Celebrating Queer History highlighting the history and key objects acquired in
every one of the 25 years since the organization's founding. Anyone can join
the events through the LGBT Community Center and visitors can soak up stories
at the James C. Hormel Gay and Lesbian Center in the Main Library in Civic
Center. For those afraid to ask for directions, walking tours of famous landmarks
throughout the city are available.

The Russian Rivers Major LGBT Resorts and Bars
Boon Hotel & Spa is nestled away in the beautiful valley on the way to
Armstrong Redwoods State Nature Reserve. This lesbian-owned property offers
the best of relaxation and comfort. This eco-friendly resort is close to everything
and yet so far away. While staying at Boon Hotels, dont forget about the Boon
Eats in downtown Guerneville.
The Woods Resort caters to a gay clientele with cottages, guest cabins and
multi-room suites with full kitchens, gas fireplaces, private balconies and views
of verdant redwood forests. The swimming pool is not only one of the largest in
the area but one of the sunniest, and clothing is optional.

Two New Must-Visit Businesses in Guerneville
Its all about tails and bottoms in
Guerneville (get your mind out of the
gutter!). Two creatively named businesses
on Main Street Whitetail Winebar
and Big Bottom Market opened in
2011. This is the first time Guerneville has
had a dedicated wine bar and a real
gourmet grocery. Whitetail features
boutique wine producers that are too
small, too artisan, or too budgeted to
have tasting rooms or distribution. Big Bottom Market, named for Guernevilles
1860s moniker and co-owned by Boons owner, stocks the best artisanal food,
wine and microbrews while staying true to their focus on local, organic, and
sustainable. Big Bottom is co-owned by the owner of Boon.
Showing Our Pride
Every June, the Russian River Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence kick off the
Sonoma County Pride Month with two events. The annual Sonoma County Pride
festival marches through Guerneville and ends at a family festival including
commitment ceremonies, live musical entertainment, and delicious food and
drinks. Then, the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, in Santa Rosa, is the place to be
for the annual Pride Comedy Night: A Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender
Celebration followed by dancing and DJ music.
When its Time to Call it a Night
From the largest hotels to the smallest three-room inns, from trendy shops to
wine hospitality centers and restaurants, every place to stay or visit in Sonoma
County welcomes gay visitors. Several Sonoma County hotels have been TAG
Approved.

NEW ORLEANS
Why There Are No Closets To Come Out Of In New Orleans
They say homes in Old Louisiana were built without closets because you were taxed
according to how many rooms were in the house, and closets counted. In New
Orleans, we have another theory: Closets just arent necessary down here. Were
all about letting the real you out. The only thing youll want to hide behind here is
a Mardi Gras mask.
Decadent and flamboyant, New Orleans is a city that has always embraced those
most passionate about living. When you combine our inventive cuisine, exciting
club scene and funky art with our appreciation for both the outrageous and the
finer things in life, you know exactly what GLBT travelers find so attractive about
this city.
Cuisine
In the culinary capital of the world,
we express our love for life with food
and drink and more food and drink.
Experience the trendy establishments
of celebrity chefs Emeril Lagasse,
John Besh and Susan Spicer, or try
one of our 100-year-old restaurants
like Antoines, Commanders Palace
or Galatoires. If after all the Creole
and Cajun cuisine you find yourself
jonesing for a cheeseburger, drop by
the Clover Grill on Bourbon Street.
Youll enjoy the wait staffs banter
as much as your burger.
Music and Nightlife
The Vampire Lestat isnt the only thing that comes out at night in New Orleans.
There is no mandatory closing time for bars and clubs here. The Society of American
Travel Writers voted New Orleans the #1 Destination for Live Music. Its not hard to
see why.
On Bourbon Street, its Fat Tuesday every day of the week. With its living room
atmosphere, Caf Lafitte in Exile, the oldest gay bar in North America, is the center
of gay action in the French Quarter. For go-go boys and gay bingo, dont miss Oz.
Across the street, youll find the Bourbon Pub/Parade Disco, with a high-tech dance
floor complete with lasers and smoke. Gay neighborhood bars also abound in the
Marigny and Bywater.
Gay Heritage Tour
In New Orleans, chances are youre going to eat too much, dance too much and
stay out too late, but we encourage you to brave the sunlight for Robert Batsons
Gay Heritage Tour. For two and a half hours, youll hear stories both fun and fasci-
nating about the people and events that make up New Orleans colorful gay history.
Follow in the footsteps of former residents Truman Capote, Tennessee Williams, Clay
Shaw, Ellen DeGeneres and others. Hear their secrets. Discover what inspired them.
Shopping
Some of Americas best shopping can be
found in the Royal Street Arts and Antique
District, seven blocks of shops crammed
with art, antiques and trinkets of every
description. On the edge of the French
Quarter, youll find The Shops at Canal
Place, home to Saks Fifth Avenue.
In the New Orleans Arts District, 19th-
century row houses and warehouses have
been transformed into 21st-century art
galleries and chic boutiques. Go see the
exhibits at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and the Contemporary Arts
Center, and then go shopping for something you can take home.
Continuing Uptown, youre sure to find lots you cant live without on Magazine
Street, six miles of unique shops, galleries and hip cafes. Pick up a bed lovingly
made from Louisiana cypress. Or buy someone you love a pot, thrown and
hand-glazed by a New Orleans artist.
Festivals
If you havent been to the gay costume contest in the French Quarter on Mardi
Gras Day, you havent been to Mardi Gras. Celebrate the end of Lent with the Gay
Easter Parade. Talk about Easter bonnets! On Labor Day, Southern Decadence, the
citys largest gay street fair, attracts as many as 100,000 participants from all
over the world. And finally, if you like guys in disguise, Halloween in New
Orleans is one of the most celebrated gay circuit parties of the year.

Clevelands LGBT Community Center is nearly 35 years old; our Pride celebration
has been around for more than two decades. Whats the point? We left the secrecy
of the closet a long time ago, and now Cleveland Plus is set to host the 2014 Gay
Games. But if youre not a native, you may be unaware of many of the hidden
gems that local folks who are in the know call their favorite hotspots. Read on as
we yank the best of the region out of the closet.
Unexpected Eats
Visitors new to Northeast Ohio will be surprised to learn this fact: Cleveland Plus
is a foodies dream. Innovative chefs will wow your taste buds and owners have
created sophisticated, chic environments in which the local LGBT community feels
welcomed. Visit any of these places and youre bound to stumble across fellow
members of the tribe. And dont miss a visit to the West Side Market, home to
ready-to-eat treats from more than 180 vendors, celebrating its centennial in
2012.
Eclectic Shopping
The coolest retail venues in Cleveland Plus also happen to be the most LGBT-
friendly. Were talking art galleries galore, funky home dcor, nostalgic toys
and the best in retro vinyl music.
Theater + Cinema
Located almost directly between the performance
capitals of New York City and Chicago is a theater
scene that rivals those cities for diversity at much
more affordable prices. If big-budget musicals are
your thing, PlayhouseSquare offers its Broadway
series with professional touring shows. Its also a
fantastic destination for one-off concerts, from music
to comedy. Just steps away in its new, spectacular
Hanna Theater home is Great Lakes Theater, which
produces Shakespeare and other classic works with top-notch casts and production
values. Its unique seating options include the opportunity to catch a show while
relaxing at the bar or on a couch with friends. Other options include Cleveland
Public Theatre, the towns progressive dramatic organization that produces new
CLEVELAND
works, along with shows that challenge societal perceptions. Cleveland Play House
is the oldest repertory theater in the nation and Beck Center for the Arts stages a
mix of musicals and plays with casts that include professionals and local amateurs.
Cleveland International Film Festival attracts more than 65,000 cinephiles to
downtown each March for some 250 independent films from around the world.
Its a big hit with LGBT people, who value the 10% queer film series, as well as its
fantastic cinema in general.
Culture
Culture in Cleveland Plus doesnt meet snooty. In fact, arts organizations in the
region make an effort to open their doors to as much of the public as possible.
Take the Cleveland Museum of Art. Because of its endowment, the permanent
collection is always free (you might pay a nominal fee for some special exhibits).
The Museum is undergoing a $350 million expansion but theres still plenty to see.
Just steps across Wade Oval in University Circle, youll find Cleveland Botanical
Gardens, which offers lush landscapes and flowers year-round. Severance Hall
offers an acoustically magnificent place to hear the Cleveland Orchestra, rated
among the top orchestras in the world, perform. In summer, the orchestra moves
to Blossom Music Center for a residency under the stars. There, it loosens up so
pack a picnic, spread your blanket on the lawn and cuddle up next to your sweetie
for a magical evening.
Cleveland Rocks
While the gorgeous I.M. Pei-designed Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum
building is all glass, white walls and perfectly proportioned black lines on the
outside (which any design-loving LGBT person can appreciate), inside it is a shrine
to Americas most popular music of the past few generations. Exhibits rotate, but
you can always expect artifacts from fabulous costumes to awesome album art.

PROVINCETOWN
History, Culture, Beaches and More...
Located 120 miles from Boston along the National Seashore on the outer most tip
of Cape Cod, Provincetown is a year-round destination with a fascinating history and
extraordinary qualities. From incredible beaches and boundless natural beauty to
an eclectic arts and culture scene and world-class dining and shopping, Provincetown
offers something for each of the
diverse visitors it hosts throughout
the year.
It all began in 1620 when the
Mayflower landed in Provincetown
for five weeks before sailing on to
Plymouth. The town evolved into a
fishing and whaling capital during
the 19th century, and whales can
still be seen in abundance around
Provincetown. Beginning in the
20th century, artists and bohemians
sought out this beautiful destina-
tion. It wasnt long before gay and
lesbian presence flourished as
Provincetown became a favorite
spot for writers, playwrights, poets, novelists, actors and artists. These newcomers
found inspiration in this avant-garde towns beauty and freedom of exploration.
They were instrumental in developing Provincetowns famous art colony and
participated in the beginnings of modern American theater.
It wasnt long before Provincetown became the place to spend the summer months
for gay men and women. Soon thereafter, many summer regulars became perma-
nent residents as they purchased guesthouses and other local businesses, further
enmeshing themselves in the local fabric. The 1970s marked Provincetowns rise
as the gay and lesbian mecca and destination that it is widely considered today.
Perhaps gay author Reed Woodhouse summed up Provincetowns allure best when
he wrote in 1991: To such an extent that Provincetown is, for anything, known

hometowns.

KEY WEST
Key West. Always Open.
Aside from its natural beauty and eclectic charm, Key Wests warm, come as you
are attitude is one of the main reasons for the islands popularity with gay and
lesbian visitors. Key West is safe, seductive and real, a genuinely gay-friendly
sanctuary where you can be open, relaxed, make new friends, and savor this
small towns live-and-let-live philosophy. So go ahead. Hold hands. Embrace.
Hang out. No one will bat an eye. No wonder Key Wests motto, One Human
Family, was officially adopted by the City Commission. And why gay and lesbian
visitors feel more themselves in Key West than anyplace else in the world.
Theres plenty to do and see on this two-by-four mile island, including hidden
charms that might go unnoticed by the mainstream. This quaint village boasts
bougainvillea, royal Poinciana and hibiscus blossoms in a rainbow flag of colors.
Canopied streets are lined with lovingly restored Victorian homes, many once
owned by illustrious gay and lesbian figures. Tennessee Williams, Elizabeth Bishop
and James Merrill are but a few. Here, secluded courtyards and lazy porch
swings are permanent fixtures. And bicycles rule the road. With hundreds of
dive and snorkel sites just off shore, Key Wests turquoise water beckons. Try a
clothing-optional dive excursion. Or grab a rod on a deep-sea fishing excursion.
But if youd prefer a lounge chair over a fighting chair, gay and lesbian sunset
cruises offer front-row seats to pastel skies as the pulse of Mallory Square
festivities beckon in the not-too-distant background.
