Gay Games 2014 coming to Cleveland 'to make history'

Gay Games 2014 coming to Cleveland 'to make history' | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

"I think people are looking at the LGBT community in a different light and we are thrilled that these games will be in the heartland because if we are successful that will send a message," Nobbe told the Akron Roundtable at Quaker Station. "It's one thing to hold the games in San Francisco or Sydney, it's another thing to hold this in Northeast Ohio."

Sitges, Spain: A Gay Euro Classic For Summertime Play

Sitges, Spain: A Gay Euro Classic For Summertime Play | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

Sitges has a year-round population around 20,000, doesn't attract queers alone - in fact, they're greatly outnumbered by straight singles, couples, and families during the summer season. But its gay appeal reaches generations back into history that a century ago attracted the boho likes of Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, and other arty types. From there, not unlike Cape Cod’s Provincetown, by the 70’s and 80’s it’d morphed into a resort that’s not just hetero-popular but also one of Europe’s top gay travel favorites every June-through-September.

Association News

Association News | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

I became a member of IGLTA in 2008 and participated in my first Annual Global Convention in Toronto in 2009. I have attended all IGLTA conventions since. My real involvement with the association started with the IGLTA Symposium in Florianopolis in 2009 and grew when I became the Brazilian Ambassador and then a nominee to the board in 2010 and 2011. I was elected to a two-year board term in 2012. Because I am a small-business owner, lesbian and a non-North-American member, my focus on the board has always involved these sectors of the membership.

Desert hearts - Gay Flagstaff, Arizona

Desert hearts - Gay Flagstaff, Arizona | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

The laid-back, cultured and pine-studded college town of Flagstaff has plenty going for it and makes a terrific base for exploring northern Arizona.

The largest city on Interstate 40 between L.A. and Albuquerque, Flagstaff is known for its seemingly endless supply of inexpensive chain motels and restaurants. Sadly, too many road-tripping visitors never get much beyond the exit ramp before continuing on with their journeys. In fact, this well-kept, historic city of about 66,000 is worth getting to know — it’s renowned for cool, dry summers and snowy but sunny winters, and has enough diversions and attractions to keep you busy for several days.

As one of the #1 LGBT travel destinations, the city, dubbed “the new Gay Mecca” boasts more gay and gay-friendly restaurants, nightclubs, hotels, retailers and other businesses than any other one gay destination in the world.
BeefPieBear's curator insight, August 13, 2013 2:41 AM

It's been a great year for Equal Rights in California and other parts of the nation. Good to see Palm Springs becoming a Go-To place for weddings and honeymoons. Our little tourist town welcomes - and needs the LGBT cultural and economic boost. It will help make our Queer Community more lively and vibrant than ever!

Nashville: Could it be the next GLBT travel destination?

Nashville: Could it be the next GLBT travel destination? | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

Nashville is pretty gay. Even the hit ABC television show Nashville has made closeted-country-star-wannabe Will Lexington a series regular for its second season. It’s fair to say that anytime an area is bolstered by the arts and entertainment industry, music in this case, you can expect the GLBT community to play a significant role in the area’s inertia.
