GAY PERSONALS

Gay Cise Calendar. Today, Camuñez, one of two Hispanic board members, is also intified as part of the lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr and queer muny.

A “Friends of Dorothy Meetg” is a dated way of sayg that gay travellers are ved to meet wh other gay people on that ship. I fd really strange that today’s world, cise l are still g a term that dat back to a generatn when beg gay / homosexual was illegal. This means that gay cisers of younger generatns are unlikely to even be aware they are happeng!

The Oxford Universy Prs f a “iend of Dorothy” as “a homosexual man”.

Many believe that the term is lked to the gay in Judy Garland, and her classic role as Dorothy the Wizard of Oz. A mp classic the gay world.

She was known for havg a lot of gay men her glzy social circle the 1940s and 1950s, and one of her hbands was apparently bi-sexual. The term was ed as far back as World War II when homosexualy was illegal. It was a to intify fellow gay men by referrg to them as iends of Dorothy.

It is even reported that as recently as the 1980s, when homosexualy was still not permted the USA ary, that the term was still beg ed. It allegedly nfed some vtigators to homosexualy the forc when was thought there was some spy rg lked to a myster Dorothy rg lear. It do though further add to the argument that is probably a dated and silly way of intifyg gay people for a get-together on a cise ship.

Cise l actually enthiastilly embraced the term as far back as the 1980s, as they feared the reactn of passengers if they were more overt about havg gay get-togethers on their ships. It do feel old fashned, out dated and an unnecsary today’s world of gay partnerships and more open tegratn to society. They are, though, a regular fixture on some more progrsive and clive cise l, pecially l like Cunard which attracts a fairly signifint proportn of gay passengers on their schled Transatlantic Crossgs.

This probably bee there are more likely to be upl than sgl on cis, and so may be ls ncerned about makg gay specific nnectns and iends. But, by fn, this is also when the gay passengers who may want to attend are also by. It harks back to an age when gay men and women need to live a more ghetto liftyle.

Today, society – certaly that among many cise passengers my experience – take the fact that a uple is gay more as a fact than an issue. • If I was a solo traveller (eher straight or gay) I would want to nnect wh other solo travellers, as there are many benefs to dog thgs wh others than by yourself. • If there is some gay specific attractn, area or event a port that you want to attend and want some pany, a crowd for secury or to share sts wh.

What other optns are there other than “iends of Dorothy” meetgs to meet fellow gay cisers?

You n e foms like those on where they have roll lls and gay sectns to chat before a cise, or even e s like where gay people n jo roll lls and discs meetg up for social events, tours and excursns before a cise. Simply gog to popular bars like the Crows Nt on many ships, or the Commodore Club on Cunard after dner, and you will see if there are other gay upl there that you n meet and chat to.

But beg gay should not need the same stcture. No real ia if the two gentlemen at my table on Niw Statendam were gay.

If not gay, they were obvly good iends. Now, I wonr, did someone(s) on those three cis thk that Richard and I were gay? There have always been bulli and if isn’t gay people they will fd another target.

The gay cis are often not put on by the cise le themselv but pani like RSVP where they charter a cise ship. As an openly gay man I much prefer the more tradnal cise experience and entertament than all the theme parti, foc on late night events, etc.
