Best Places for Gay Holidays
Sorry for the radio silence here, but after having returned home to the USA for the holidays, I’ve had a lot of time to think and to reflect — mostly about the past year and a bit about the future. And in making some of my plans for the next year, I’ve thought a lot about the past year.
Namely the fact that it’s probably been my gayest year ever. Is that even a thing? Who knows. I don’t care. But I perceive like this was an vital year for gay rights, and also for my own interest in gay travel.

Spain&#;s Politics

My love of road trips started early. As a teenager growing up in a suburb of Boston, I discovered Jack Kerouac&#;s classic road trip novel On the Road. The book opened a door to queer history and to places where offbeat weirdos like me could detect their fit.
I wrote my college thesis on road trips, and driving myself to (and from) a summer semester at UC Berkeley as research. I guess I should have known back then that I would end up writing about tour for a living!
I&#;ve taken two cross-country road trips – one during college, and one when I moved to California.
I&#;ve also taken shorter road trips: New York to Florida, New York to Atlanta by way of Kentucky (state #44) and Tennessee, and New York to Michigan (state #43).
I spent a month living in a ghost town in Alaska for a writer&#;s retreat, and stayed on for an extra two weeks to explore the state with my partner, who flew out to Juneau to meet me.
