Tips:
As gay travelers, we are attracted to locations where we can be ourselves and feel welcomed. Being pampered and treated equally is what we anticipate during our stay. We should never feel uncomfortable in our surroundings because of our way of living, especially during a vacation. Instead, we should feel blissful and relaxed as we explore the beautiful countries and cities that the world has to offer. Start today by booking a trip for you and your loved ones. Show them how to live to the fullest, as we all should.
Safety tips:
- Be aware of your surroundings and know where you are.
- Familiarize yourself with the area and always carry a map with you.
- If you're renting a vehicle, keep your car's gas tank at least half full at all times.
- Carry traveler's checks and credit cards instead of large amounts of cash.
- Plan ahead and make sure your party is aware of your destination.
- Keep helpful phone numbers with you. (I.e. number to your hotel, emergency contacts, cab services, etc.)
- Let your family/loved ones kno w where you will be staying and who you are with.

New York City - The City That Never Sleeps
New York City is one of the best cities to visit in America. As a gay citizen, I have had the best vacation experiences there. Unlike other cities I have visited, everyone is very involved in their own, personal voyage and do not stare or wonder when they see a gay couple. The city has many gay friendly clubs, restaurants and bars to accommodate the LGBT community. With the open mind and free spirit of New Yorker's, you could never go wrong making this city your next vacation destination!

Gay Orlando Florida
Do you think that Orlando is a gay/lesbian friendly destination? Let us know what you think. (Comments will be approved shortly after submission)
Orlando, Florida is rated one of the top tourist destinations in America. Along with many other attractions, Orlando is the home of Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World. As a Lesbian who resides in Orlando, I would say that over all it is a gay friendly city. The LGBT community is very united, especially during special events such as, Gay days in June and the Pride Parade in October. Many tourists from all over the world visit Orlando and enjoy every minute of their adventure. With all of the attractions and night life, you can enjoy a fun night out every day of the week!
One of our favorite gay spots to visit in Orlando is Mr. Sister's. They have great entertainment, food and drinks! Mr. Sister's is opened from 11am, which gives us something to do throughout the day. Check them out!
