Sometimes my sexuality also influences the how, why, and where I choose to visit a place. That’s not to say I don’t also travel gay. I travel because I love to travel, and I just happen to be gay. Every aspect of what makes us unique also contributes to how, where, and why we travel. There are gay families who travel, solo gay travelers (like myself), solo lesbian travelers, ones who travel for festivals or nightlife or honeymoons, those that take cruises or splurge on luxury trips, and ones who rough it camping and backpacking in faraway places.Īnd just like every other type of traveler, we travel for our own personal reasons. “Gay” travel can be an awkward topic for many, mostly because to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) is really to be a part of an incredibly diverse group of people. He’s going to be the lead for this column (though we’ll shortly have writings from other voices in the community too!). In this column, we will hear from voices in the LGBT community about their experiences on the road, safety tips, events, and, overall, advice for other LGBT travelers get the most out of their time on the road! So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce everyone to Adam from. In an effort to expand the site, I’ve been adding more guest contributors and, today, I’m announcing a LGBT column for the website.
