It’s the first day of Pride Month, and Restaurant Row in New York City’s Hell’s Kitchen is electric with anticipation. In a week, Broadway’s finest will descend on Radio City Music Hall for the Tony Awards. Showtunes emanate from the storied piano bar Don’t Tell Mama — a ballad from Jesus Christ Superstar here, a showstopper from Wicked there. Suddenly, I’ve wandered in, a negroni in hand, and I’m belting along. New York City in June is a fusion of the Tony Awards and Pride, a...| Outtraveler.com

Put away those winter blues, folks. Summer’s here, and that means it’s time to break out those Speedos and bikinis, and make a mad dash for the surf, sand, pools, and parties of our favorite LGBTQ+ beach destinations. This year has been difficult for family, as we resist the anti-LGBTQ+ actions of the second iteration of the Trump administration. But our struggles also signal we’ve earned some time to vacation in places that still proudly welcome and affirm LGBTQ+ visitors and residents...| Outtraveler.com

Opened in 2020, the hotel ...| Outtraveler.com
By Zach Laks “Oh, Zach, you love cruises?” “That’s cool. They’re not for me!” More than any other category of travel, whenever I mention I love cruises, there’s always a weighted response. Often, that response is immediate rejection — folks insisting that cruising is not for them or that they’re not “the cruising type.” I get it and understand that not everything is for everyone. But let me respond from my ocean of experience as a travel writer: If you’ll allow, cruisi...| Outtraveler.com
Don't say gay? Nice try. Even in Florida, the LGBTQ+ community is gearing up for a very crucial Pride season to prove that queer visibility can't be erased.

Although people correlate many of the major Pride events with the month of June, Johnny Chilsolm's Memori...| Outtraveler.com

A stroll down Main Street in Picton, Ontario, on a summer day is reminiscent of small-town U.S.A. romanticized in movies about the 1950s. Sidewalks are lined with mom-and-pop shops, while families with toddlers and strollers savor ice cream fromSlickers County Ice Cream – though the artisanal flavors like Campfire Cream and Rhubarb Ginger are distinctly modern. But upon closer look, the small town that sits on Lake Ontario’s north shore, about 99 miles east of Toronto, feels more like the...| Outtraveler.com

There are certain cities that feel like they find you, not the other way around. Edinburgh was one of those places for me—a city where, without even trying, I felt entirely in sync, like I'd shown up exactly when and where I was meant to be. More than once, wandering its storybook streets and gazing up at those jaw-dropping spires and neoclassical facades, I overheard fellow visitors (often in unmistakable American accents) saying, “I still can't believe this is real.” And to be honest,...| Outtraveler.com
After raising children, starting, growing, and retiring from a successful company (and publishers of this outlet) and leaving a long-term relationship, I determined that I was finally free to travel where I wanted to go. However, my parameters initially were not unusual, yet somewhat limiting. I wanted to go to a place accessible to my home on the East Coast, was affordable, and reported as welcoming to LGBTQ+ travelers. Portugal was one of the first places that came to both my in-box with he...| Outtraveler.com
