Room for Romance By Loann Halden, Associate Editor, Out Traveler Deserted isle fantasies can come true in gorgeous Fiji without giving up gourmet dining and high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets. Or, adventurous couples who get weak in the knees thinking of Baz Luhrmann’s new Oz epic can visit South Australia’s wildlife-rich Kangaroo Island. Dip below the equator for a Valentine’s Day getaway with decadent gay appeal.

Hawaii’s Polysexual Past By Matthew Link, OutTraveler.com Cross-dressers, queer concubines, and the Sin of Onan -- the Hawaii of pre-European contact had it all. Most LGBT travelers to Hawaii think of the islands as a languid society, a 'hang loose' place of tolerant politics where cultural differences are easily celebrated. But few tourists realize just how queer Hawaii actually was before the Europeans showed up.

The Valley of the Sun By Andrew Collins, OutTraveler.com From a diffuse swath of depressing sprawl, Arizona's largest city has over the past decade revamped its image with new hotels, restaurants, and cultural venues, including the Phoenix Metropolitan Opera, which debuted last December. Urban pioneers, including plenty of gays and lesbians, have snapped up genteel, palm-shaded bungalows in historic neighborhoods like Coronado and Willo. And gay visitors will find more to see and do than ever before.

Beaches and Boys of Brazil By Mack Friedman, OutTraveler.com Brazil is guilty of a torrid love affair with the sun. When it's raining in Rio, locals hurry by with umbrellas cloaking expressionless faces like shocked victims of sudden infidelity. But when it's sunny, especially in the summer months (our winter), it seems the entire population can be found basking on the sand. Take a headlong dive into the surf, sand, and soul of Brazil's obsessively sexy beach culture.

Southern Exposure By Matthew Link, OutTraveler.com What makes for a gorgeous beach? A great panorama, a unique setting, and of course the scantily clad patrons. The most stunning gay-popular beaches way down south are, not surprisingly, remote, undeveloped, and thus frequently clothing-optional -- with a couple of urban choices for you city slickers.

Where the Boys Are: NYC Still Boogies Down By Justin Ocean, OutTraveler.com With more than 50 gay bars and a seven-night-a-week fun factor, New York remains the undisputed center of gay life in the United States. But its dance club scene is undergoing a major metamorphosis. Gone are the heady nights of the '90s when a rebellious energy parted the AIDS-crisis gloom and created the chiseled Chelsea boy archetype.

Québec, C'est Cool By Justin Ocean, OutTraveler.com Winter in Europe: The idea alone can freeze sun seekers, not to mention wallet watchers, in their tracks. But for those who crave the icy crunch beneath their feet, Quebec City offers as much francophone fun as you can have without a transatlantic flight, sexy accents included. For romantic European charm as thick as the snowfall, hop the border to North America’s only intact walled city.

A Taste of Chicago By Aefa Mulholland, OutTraveler.com A constellation of stellar chefs shines from the shores of Lake Michigan, with thrilling new kitchen luminaries constantly adding to the Windy City’s culinary glow. One of the U.S.’s hottest restaurant cities, you certainly have to tuck into Chicago’s distinctive deep-dish pizzas, but save some space for its smorgasbord of other sumptuous options.

Holidays on Ice By Brandon Miller, OutTraveler.com Chill out in the ultimate winter hotels -- before they melt away (literally, each spring), including North America’s only ice hotel, Hôtel de Glace. This fantastic structure sits 30 minutes outside of gay-friendly Quebec City. The 32,000-square-foot lodge houses 36 themed rooms and suites sculpted entirely from snow and ice (including the furniture), complete with chill-reducing custom fireplaces and heated indoor bathrooms.

Top 5 Cities for Gay Nightlife By G.T. McCallan, OutTraveler.com The beat goes on… and on… and on in these sizzling-hot nightlife cities! You don’t need to sashay south to keep warm this winter: just hit the bars and dance floors at some of the hotspots in our Top 5 cities for gloriously gay nightlife and things will heat up.
