Gay Travel Online

There is open recognition of gays in London exemplified by annual festivals, hosting of EuroPride in 2006, the first tourist office dedicated to LGBTs and the right to civil partnerships available in the United Kingdom.

Some sources of accessible information include: G3, a free lesbian monthly, which carries the latest news. Other magazines include Out Magazine and Boyz for gay men.

A walk in any London gayborhood (Soho, Vauxhall, Islington, Hoxton) will reveal some restaurant treats. These include: Balans Cafe, First Out Cafe-Bar, Bistrotheque, Steph’s, Les Trois Garcons, the Providores and Tapa Room, and the Alisan which are just a few of the tasty options.

In East London is a rare venue, the Sunday Up Market at the Truman Brewery on Brick Lane, where designers sell directly to the public. Gay’s The Word is a book shop worth visiting. Since 1979 it has been the country’s most comprehensive lesbian and gay bookstore.

According to the LGBT marketing agency Out Now Consulting the US is the place to go for the best Gay Travel destinations.

It beat the runners up, Australia and France in their poll. This is good information because everyone is wanting to jump on the Gay Friendly Travel wagon to try and grab their share of this growing market.

“The phrase ‘gay friendly’ is pretty hackneyed and does absolutely nothing to rescue a holiday that can be ruined when a stay feels far less than welcoming for a lesbian couple because of their experience at check-in or for two gay men when ordering room service to the honeymoon suite… Improvements need to be made.”

This is good information – you want to know whether or not your “Gay Friendly” destination is really going to be friendly or if they’re simply interested in your money. Check out the full article here: http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/gay-travel-hotspots-revealed-2132672.html
