DC NIGHTLIFE TAKES OFF WITH 5 NEW BARS - GAY BARS DEAD? DC DIDN'T GET THE MEMO
Walk up Rock Creek Park at 9:30 am on Saturdays to the DC Zoo with the DC Front Runners (or run at 10 am). The DC Frontrunners also meet Tuesdays at Union Station. They just won the best D.C. sports organization award from the Washington Blade. In addition to sports activities, they also have happy hours, brunches, and other fun group events. Everyone is welcome. Take an afternoon to explore the African American History Museum. Start at the ground floor and work your way up while learning about the history of African Americans in the U.S. You cannot beat an off-season visit to D.C. The crowds of school kids are gone, the museums are quieter, and there’s just so much to do. Who said gay bars are dead? D.C. has no less than 5 new bars, with more coming.
Iceland is a must-see destination for LGBTQ+ travelers who seek nature and adventure in a unique country that exceeds the imagination’s expectations. You will find the Icelandic people to be some of the most welcoming and friendliest across Europe. One notable establishment is Fríkirkjan í Reykjavík that literally translates to “free church in Reykjavík,” which is where LGBTQ+ weddings are held. Iceland is also home to a large Pride festival that attracts 100,000 people annually. It is particularly known to be LGBTQ+ friendly given its openness and legal protections extended to LGBTQ+ residents.
