Eurovision (this year in Malmö, Sweden) is a big motivator for European and other gay travelers

SVT/EBU The world´s premier song contest - and likened by many to a LGBTQ blockbuster event on the order of the World Cup or U.S. Super Bowl - just completed its spectacular 68th edition with the usual lineup of singing, dancing, special effects, silliness and seriousness, pulling in a TV audience of hundreds of millions plus many thousands of fans who flocked to Sweden´s third city from 90 countries (and I´ll venture to say more than half of them were gay).

3 of Europe's most gay/LGBTQ-welcoming cities

SolStock Welcome once again to Pride month, celebrated in increasing numbers of destinations around the world - although also under pressure in some of them, sadly even including part of the United States, the very country where the celebration of Pride originated. Of course, depending on where you go, travelling while LGBT+ can be a challenge, particularly if you're with a same-sex partner and/or if you are visibly queer. Sadly, there are still many countries where being gay is still…

LGBTQ+ Danger Index rates countries for both locals and visitors

Just came across a Guardian piece published a few weeks ago with some interesting findings from something called the LGBTQ+ Danger Index, which ranks the world's 150 most-visited countries using eight factors, including legalized same-sex marriage, worker protection and whether, based on Gallup poll findings, it is a good place to live.

    Argentina legalizes same-sex marriage, making this destination already popular with gay men and women likely to attract more and more tourists that demand to be treated with dignity and respect. America, once the beacon of liberty for humankind, should be embarrassed to see others lead the way into a future of equality and justice.

    today are the elections to allow the same-sex marriage in Argentina. We hope our politicians vote for the right option: YES, ALLOWED. Argentina will become a good gay destination if so. Though i think that should be a law in every country.

    Anyone interested in a French Fling? I just returned from my second visit to New Caledonia - it's near Vanuatu and Fiji - and have investigated the gay-welcoming properties and tour operators, not to mention eateries and dance club venues. It's a whole new style of destination for those who want a South Pacific experience in the French Territory. Bon Voyage. See my latest stories on newcaledonia.rainbowtourism.com by the end of the week.
