Gay French Riviera: Croisette Beach Hotel - Cannes

Gay French Riviera: Croisette Beach Hotel - Cannes | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

To me, Cannes has really come into its own over the years in terms of being a gay travel destination.  More gay bars and nightclubs have opened up, more gay-friendly restaurants and hotels, fantastic beaches, and who could dare question the shopping?

Honest Omissions - looking beyond the eye: Madrid - a gay night out. Hostal Orly & Cheuca

Honest Omissions - looking beyond the eye: Madrid - a gay night out. Hostal Orly & Cheuca | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

Finally I get to spend a night out in Madrid and discover the gay scene. It's been over 10 years since I visited the gay night life of Madrid and it's great to be back. I really do Like the city and people are so open about homosexuality - it's great. So many gay couples walk hand-in-hand in the street.

Doing Business In... Napa Valley | Passport Magazine

Doing Business In... Napa Valley | Passport Magazine | LGBTQ+ Destinations | Scoop.it

While gay tourism grows every year in steady numbers, the LGBT community has been visible for decades. Mark Young, owner of three restaurants in the burgeoning gay county of Calistoga, a region in Napa, is from the area and he tells me: “I’ve seen it all,” recalling his position as a maitre d’ at the fancy Auberge Du Soleil Resort when a four-course dinner was $42 (it’s more than triple that now and quite worth it considering the restaurant’s prime valley views and top-notch Michelin-fronted American dishes). The valley wasn’t really discovered yet, which is why celebrities like Edward Kennedy and Barbra Streisand liked it here. The tradition still remains strong.
