A GAY TRAVELLER’S OFF THE BEATEN PATH PARADISE

As the gay Traveller matur and looks for experienc that are beyond gay-centric, but still gay-iendly, New Zealand offers warm wel, ltle judgement, and a chance to explore remote plac away om the crowds.

Although urban statns tend to be most popular wh gay travelers bee of their rich cultural offergs, vibrant nightlife districts, and chic shoppg and dg, a number of the world's most gay-popular ci also enjoy picturque settgs on the water. From megaci wh skyscrapers on the ocean to relatively smaller statns on tranquil bays and lak, here's a ndown of the world's 20 bt gay urban beach statns (populatn 150, 000 or greater). Wh outstandg mms, distctive archecture (cludg several treasur by Antoni Gdi) a lively gay nightlife scene centered mostly around the sophistited Eixample district, and an abundance of stylish rtrants and hotels, Barcelona is a terrific statn for urban, yet there's a sweepg and betiful gay beach, Barceloa, jt mut om the cy center.

It's jt a short drive south along the ast to vis some of the Southern Hemisphere's most betiful beach, cludg swank Camp Bay, which li the shadows of the Twelve Apostle mountas, and Clifton, which has a scene-y gay beach.

This dramatilly suated cy on the island of Oahu has several gay bars, a great dg scene, and proximy to many notable attractns, om Queen's Surf gay beach to Pearl Harbor. One of the world's leadg gay and lbian statns, Los Angel is much more than a sgle metropolis - rather, 's an entire llectn of both sprawlg and many s scenic neighborhoods and adjacent ci. Here and funky Venice Beach, to the south, you'll fd que a few rtrants, hotels, and bars wh a mixed gay/straight followg, along wh one of the Wt's classic gay dive bars, Roosterfish.

The regn has been eclipsed by nearby Fort Lrdale recent year's as the state's top gay statn, but you'll still fd plenty of gays and lbians livg and playg the parts - and visg durg the several big gay circu parti held South Beach each year, om Wter Party to Whe Party to Miami Gay Pri. The largt cy on the famoly swank and sophistited French Riviera, Nice (populatn 350, 000) is not que a gay playground on the same plane as such Euro-queer hot spots as Ibiza and Mykonos, but this stylish cy wh an outstandg variety of tony rtrants and shops do have a growg gay prence (this is also te, by the way, of nearby Cann, which is smaller but also is beg creasgly popular wh gay travelers).

There are a full range of laws supportg the gay muny place New Zealand – same-sex sexual activy has been legal sce 1986, there are extensive discrimatn protectns and was the 13th untry the world to legalise gay marriage. When relig settlers brought Christiany to the islands they also brought the notn that homosexualy was a s and subsequently New Zealand adopted Brish law, crimalisg same-sex sexual activy.

NEW ZEALAND GAY TRAVEL

Throughout the 60s and 70s gay liberatn groups formed and gathered strength – a talysg event this was when an amic was refed a visor’s perm to the USA bee she was homosexual. In 2018 the Government passed a bill allowg men nvicted of homosexual offens before crimalisatn to have their rerds wiped and there was also an official apology. New Zealanrs are overall very acceptg of the LGBT muny – generally, anti-LGBT polil parti are unsuccsful, for example, and there are many openly gay people all walks of life.

It’s worth notg that gay or straight, New Zealand is not a party statn – if gay travellers are prrisg back-to-back partyg and sndalo nights out then Bangkok, Berl or Mykonos might be better statns. Before gettg to specifics, ’s worth remdg potential gay travellers that there are lots of small, isolated towns and villag sttered about the unspoiled landspe of the untry which might have ls progrsive views. From budget hostels to chic boutiqu to glampg to geo outdoor lodg, there’ plenty to choose om and gay travellers should know that they are wele almost everywhere.

GAY CHRISTCHURCH

The suatn for members of the queer muny is better than the vast majory of other untri the world, so gay travellers should travel there to support the stance on LGBT rights New Zealand. From the breathtakg views of the Southern Alps to the quirky street art and btlg markets, Gay Christchurch is a cy that ters to all kds of travelers, cludg fabulo queers.

However, let’s get the sad news out of the way first by statg Gay Christchurch has still yet to fully rever om the adly 2010 and 2011 earthquak (and we are not sure ever will…).

To be clear, the cy was never a mec for gay life the way Sydney, Melbourne or even Auckland are, but when 80% of buildgs the central cy need to be molished after the quake – so went much of the gay tablishments Christchurch.
