If I were on a road trip, what Gay Meccas should I not miss?
I would like to compile of the 'Must sees' and gay oasis around
I live near one Palm Springs, and I lived in San Francisco, that's two. I used to live near Gurneville on the Russian River so that's 3. Anymore?

2. Boystown in Chicago is terrific
Plenty of clubs, playhouses, restraunts, etc. I can't recommend it enough.

4. Midtown ATL
It's a happening place with a very active gay scene. Perhaps a bit yuppie, but there are a bunch of great clubs and a thriving gay population.

You must journey to the tip of Cape Cod, party-town extraordinaire, and now also the gay honeymoon mecca.

10. Toronto, Ontario
has a thriving gay scene, mostly on Church street and environs, a gay pride parade that attracts folks from all over, and a nude beach on Centre Island (that's spelled correctly). There are also summer trips around the lake for all tastes, the usual Mr. Leather and court activities, and tolerance.

17. Very good!
I hadn't thought of that, but what with Gannon the hard-working reporter, there seems to be a lot of covert gay activity!

18. A lot of DC is like that
A couple high-ups in the DC police department about 10 years ago made hundreds of thousands of $$$ by going down to the clubs in Southeast and taking license plate photos of all the station wagons and Volvos with VA or MD tags and a carseat in the back. They then used the motor vehicle database to get the addresses and would send photos to the man of the house with a blackmail notice.

If you happen to swing by Texas, be sure to stop in Austin! "The San Francisco of the Southwest" as I like to call it.
