Is gay travel different from hetero travel?

The idea's that some gay people - couples especially - like to be able to book accommodation where they know there isn't going to be hostility towards them. If there's a demand, some company is bound to turn up and fill it.

One does wonder if behind the ideals there isn't a grab for the 'pink pound', though.

yes there is a difference....with gay travel, your luggage better be top notch, and match, to boot!

You know, just tooking a look at the Austin, TX page, this site is sadly lacking in information. I wonder if they hire straights to provide gay content.

Wait, they didn't give you yours, Chef? ;) Try harder next time.

Oh yeah. This site... umm... eats ass. I'm sorry, I couldn't stop myself.

I read it as "Gay love trial". Thought it was going to be something salacious.

Isn't Afghanistan the place where they collapse stone walls or buildings on gay people, or was that Saudi Arabia? I'm always getting those two mixed up.
