Last week, with your help, we compiled a
guide to gay travel, which is a tricky thing to do, really. How can you define a travel guide around something as indefinable as sexuality? Do all gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender men and women head to Mykonos in summer, and the clubs of New York in winter, like migrating birds? Methinks not. But the fact that people of same-sex persuasions can still encounter problems when booking a room shows that their travel needs still require some attention, no matter how varied they are.
And the tips that you sent in were definitely varied. We had Tranny Lip Synching, an alternative refuge from the mainstream gay scene in London, and The Cosmopolitan, an alternative refuge from the mainstream straight scene on the island of Jersey. Femo Women's Camp in Denmark also made an appearance in the guide, as did Crew, a gay sports bar in Chicago, and there is a smattering of gay-friendly hotels and B&Bs too. Hopefully you will
continue to add your gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender travel tips to the guide, and make it as all-encompassing as the title suggests.
This week we want your tips on
Brighton, or London-sur-Mer as some like to call it. Share with us your insider knowledge on one of Britain’s best-loved seascapes, whether it’s a great chippy, or a great place to eat your chippies (and possibly feed the seagulls at the same time).
I’ll leave you with news of tense times on our
top tippers page, where PhilSen and barenib are neck-and-neck in top place, both with 105 tips. Meanwhile new user dawndevil has made an audacious entrance by going straight to the top spot in the weekly list, and barenib has picked up some extra brownie points by being the first in our weekly top tippers list to have a personlised profile.
To join in on the action and see your name on the page, keep your tips on the places you know and love coming. And if you would like to follow in barenib’s footsteps and personalise your profile, it’s easy –
