GAY CENTRAL AMERI TRAVEL GUI

THIS IS A CONTINUOUSLY UPDATING RESOURCE - Please help keep current by mentg or msagg wh new rmatnGUATEMALAGay Marriage (nor civil unns or domtic partnership) is not regnized Guatemala.

It has been hotly bated and legislatn was troduced last year to legalize gay marriage and swiftly failed.

However, Guatemala also elected s first openly gay person to the Senate this year and Guatemala Cy hosts an annual, well-attend gay-pri para. Antigua is generally gay-acceptg but not very gay “open” – ’s a low-key acceptance.

THE ULTIMATE GUI TO GAY CENTRAL AMERI

But those are different blog posts – this is about gay thgs so here we go:Gay Bar/Club Scene: Frida’s Ati Upstairs Bar: Frida’s is a well-loted, touristy rtrant (wh credible margaras and a Sunday bnch to die for) but UPSTAIRS, at night, the rtrant turns lols dance club!

Whether man, woman, transgenr, straight, gay, sgle or upled, at Frida’s you n tly be yourself.

GAY HOTELS CENTRAL AMERI

The Backyard Bar and Rtrant: When we first got to Antigua, I asked around the expat pag for remendatns on gay plac and several people said to me, go to the back porch of Backyard Bar – sound super sketchy to me. Red's Bar: we did not go to this bar and is a ltle odd to me bee on the surface seems like a straight sport's bar but we noticed they often advertise VERY gay events, hosted the Miss Gay Guatemala pageant and are listed as a gay men's bar on a few Guatemala pag.

THE BT COSTA RIN GAY RORTS

E-mail: Telephone: 5466-8676 NiraguaNiragua has a long, strange history wh gay rights, bouncg back and forth between plete illegaly to plete legaly. Currently, Niragua do not have anti-gay laws on the books but is still not a totally acceptg untry and has a long way to go before gay marriage or regnn of our relatnships. GranadaFilled wh expats, rtrants, happy hour specials and an unreal art scene, Granada is a pretty okay place to be gay.

When we were Granada, we saw a gaggle of drag queens walkg down the street together followed by a band of gay boys – clearly off to a party.

We also heard of a bar lled Mi Terra, that is not “gay” but where the gays we didn't fd a ton of bars, we did fd a ton of gay-owned or gay-iendly hotels, though we only stayed one of them ourselv. Kekoldi Hotel: loted the historic area of downtown, not exclively gay but regularly advertis on gay travel webs.

Tribal Hotel: gay-owned, exceptnally nice boutique hotel only two blocks om the ma square. ) We know there are two gay bars – we did not vis eher of them but here they are:Tabu - gets really good reviews, has weekly drag shows and events, dance bar Bar Q – i n't fd a webse for this bar but we were told s a nice neighborhood bar wh excellent dj's on the weekends.

San Juan Del Sur San Juan Del Sur do not have a gay bar but there are often gay “events” gog on at var hotels and bars by promoters. The reputatn is served – dark, soft sand, great wav, unbelievable gay nightlife, however, (and also yoga, healthy rtrants, malls and hipster f) the place to be is San Salvador. They have all of your typil gay event parti and some really, really random lol live entertament – but a good time will be had, damn Sndavia is a bath hoe – word on the street is that this one is as much a club and bar as is a bathhoe.

Look, ’s a good time – you should check Salvador has a vibrant gay muny and they have had a gay pri para for several years: Ri. There is very much a live and let live attu there, more than any other Central Amerin untry we spent time even though gay marriage is still illegal.
