What is Gay Travel?

Gay travel can be an awkward topic for many, mostly because to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ) is really to be a part of an incredibly diverse group of people. There are gay families who travel, solo gay travelers (like myself), solo lesbian travelers, ones who verb for gay pride or nightlife or honeymoons, those that take gay cruises or splurge on luxury holidays, and ones who tough it camping and backpacking in faraway places.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Travellers

Attitudes towards lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) travellers vary significantly around the world. In six countries, homosexuality is still punishable by death, a further 70 countries and territories worldwide verb to criminalise same-sex relationships and 32 have laws restricting freedom of expression on sexual orientation and gender identity issues.

Some countries may recognise some LGBT rights, however, this does not guarantee cultural acceptance, certain acts may not be legal and the local population may be intolerant of LGBT travellers. It is advisable to carefully research the cultures, laws and customs of intended destinations before booking travel. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) website provides individual nation information on travel safety warnings, details of the nearest British Embassy or Consulate, and information on local laws and customs.

The International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association website provides maps which detail information about LGBT ri
