Cyndi Lauper to perform in Palm Springs
By Will Dean, Desert Outlook
October 15, 2012
#PalmSprings
Girls aren’t the only ones who want to have fun in Palm Springs.
It turns out the volunteers who tirelessly worked, donors who generously contributed and others who loyally supported AIDS Assistance Program during the past 20 years also deserve to have a good time – and that’s what they’re likely to get with Cyndi Lauper.

Miami's South Beach: Boys, bikinis, sun, sand and sex
By Matthew Jenkin, Gay Star News
October 10, 2012
#Miami
You know that image you’ve got in your head when you think of Miami? Sun, sand, bright, shiny sports cars and Margheritas so big they have a gravitational force of their own? Yup, it really is like that.
It’s not often a city lives up to expectations, but Florida’s southeastern metropolis really does do what it says on the tin.

Downtown Las Vegas experiencing growth, revitalization
By JoAnna Haugen, Travel Weekly
October 9, 2012
#LasVegas
All eyes might be on the Las Vegas Strip, but the real action in Sin City is taking place just a few blocks north in the downtown area. Though Downtown Las Vegas is where the roots of the city took hold originally, attention shifted to the Strip beginning in the late 1940s and 1950s when several hotel-casinos were built along the two-lane highway leading into Las Vegas from Los Angeles. In recent years, however, with the addition of several attractions and significant financial investment, people have started to take notice of what’s happening in downtown once again.

Romantic Gay Getaways for Fall
By Fagabond, The Huffington Post
September 25, 2012
#NewHope #Philadelphia #Providence
Bold statement: Fall is the most romantic season.
We've all felt the cool breezes. Fall is rolling in. Hot and steamy summer nights make way for colorful days and cozy evenings. It doesn't come with the high-flying hormones of summer; absent are the stresses of the gift-giving season; and who really likes to get caught in spring showers? You can ruin a perfectly good hair day that way.

The Wonderful Land of Las Vegas
By Kevin P. Taft, FrontiersLA.com
September 14, 2012
#LasVegas
When those of us that live in Los Angeles think of Las Vegas, we think of a cheap excursion to a land of bright lights, alcohol and gambling. Sure, some of us hit the outlets or travel exclusively to see a show like Celine Dion (or Shania Twain coming in December!), but what we might not realize is there is a burgeoning gay community among amazing restaurants, luxurious spas and high-end hotels, most of which are surprisingly affordable and gay-friendly. While Las Vegas would certainly seem like the quintessential gay mecca, this popular tourist destination is not known for its gay culture, which is why many of the hotel/casino chains are investing their advertising dollars to focus on the gay community. This is not simply a way to tap into the market of men and women who have disposable income, but a way to promote the hotel chains that have always welcomed the gay community despite the gay community not noticing.

On Bourbon Street, Party But Don’t Preach at Night
By Janet McConnaughey, Associated Press

#NewOrleans
Bare breasts, drunken revelry and almost anything else is tolerated along Bourbon Street, but after dark, the city is saying street preachers are forbidden.
Two weeks ago, a small group of street preachers were arrested during a gay pride festival, perhaps the first people to be booked under a nearly year-old ordinance against aggressive solicitation on Bourbon Street. Those who crafted the law say it’s a public safety measure to help with crowd control and discourage con-artists, but the street preachers believe it’s a violation of their First Amendment rights.

Most have at least heard of Provincetown, Mass. even if you hadn’t visited this historic little town located on the tip of Cape Cod. With a population of just over 3,000, the one-time fishing and whaling center and artists’ colony has emerged as a trendy vacation spot for lots of people—gay and straight.

I'll be honest. When the Bay Area Reporter first suggested I write about Philadelphia, it was not at the top of my list of places to visit. A lot of history, I thought, but with a lot of big-city hassles. But after visiting last month, I can say I am a true believer and want to go back to see the stuff I missed the first time around.
Philadelphia has everything LGBT travelers would want in a big city: culture, great restaurants, and abundant gay nightlife. Plus, Philadelphia tacks on more history per square mile than just about anywhere, and from the LGBT traveler's perspective, may be the most walkable big city in America.

Travel: Brooklyn, New York
By Lee Randall, Scotsman
August 12, 2012
#NewYork
Forget hotels and live like a native in buzzing Brooklyn, suggests Lee Randall
Wandering around Williamsburg, the hipster capital of Brooklyn, brings to mind my late father, who was born in this borough, which was an independent town before its engulfment by New York City in the late 19th century. Dad wouldn’t recognise the place. In fact, even I don’t recognise it. The last time I ventured to this part of my native city was in the 1980s, when we’d joke that you needed to pack heat to get in and out alive. Now – all joking aside – I’d advise you to pack a Mac computer, a trilby, and a refined palate for artisan beer and coffee, else die of shame.

The town is hopping with locals, tourists, gays, straights, bis, and celebs including Michael Cunningham, Taylor Dayne, and John Waters ("48 years in a row!" he told me), and there are actual streets that you can run or bike around and feel a very gay part of.

6 Things You Can Only Get in Philadelphia

#Philadelphia
From made-to-order Turkish-spiced doughnuts to Cap'n Crunch fish tacos, Philly is operating miles beyond the cheesesteak
It was raining buckets when SAVEUR senior editor Gabriella Gershenson and I rolled into Philadelphia for a whirlwind 36-hour, 8-restaurant, million-calorie tour of the East Coast's most exciting emerging food town. This was a good thing: It meant that there was hardly a wait at all at Federal Donuts, the blazingly popular doughnut-and-fried-chicken emporium tucked away on a Pennsport side street where out-the-door lines and midafternoon sellouts are de rigueur. The sun came out for the rest of our trip, and so we criscrossed the city on foot, making our way from farmers' markets filled with jewel-like Amish produce to hushed, leafy terrace restaurants to the riotous 9th Street Italian Market, where century-old, family-run pork stores vie for space with Vietnamese produce stands and Mexican groceries. Through it all there was a continuous thread of something ineffably Philly: bright and optimistic, entirely unpretentious and yet exacting in quality. When it comes to eating, this city is operating miles beyond the cheesesteak.

Providence's grit and obscurity make it easy to underestimate. On the verge of bankruptcy, with a former mayor who served four years in federal prison for racketeering conspiracy, the capital of the country’s smallest state has something of an image problem. But like Portland, Ore., or Austin, Tex., it’s also a town many times more creative and cosmopolitan than its modest population and municipal troubles suggest. Home to an Ivy League college, one of the best design schools in the country and a major culinary institute, Providence, unsurprisingly, has exceptional food, compelling art and architecture, a thriving gay scene and an inordinate number of very smart people. Yet the city remains unpretentious and affordable, a place where even the best restaurants rarely demand reservations.

In 1990, a Cincinnati museum was put on the docket for showing a sexually charged photograph by the late Robert Mapplethorpe. When the Corcoran Gallery canceled the whole show, it caused an outcry that reached the halls of Congress and slipped in the notorious "no promo homo" clause to manage government-funded exhibits.
