We’re starting a new feature here every week on Instant Tea: Gay Getaway, where we recommend quick, cheap airfares to fun gay destinations. After all, the gays love their spur-of-the-moment trips, especially when they can do ’em cheap. First up: West Palm Beach.
The best airfare deal we saw, courtesy of AirTran, was $87 to West Palm Beach.
What’s the case for West Palm? Well, in addition to the scores of gay bars there, last month the city commission there voted unanimously in favor of repealing Florida’s ban on gay adoption. The effect? Well, not much. But it shows a sense of openness we can all appreciate and support.
Travel requires 10 days advance purchase; sample departure on April 17, returning April 20. Cost is each way.
Yes, but you have to go to Florida to get there. Ich.
Really? West Palm Beach?? LOL!
I have lived here for over 25 years, and yes, we have ordinances banning discrimination for LGBT’s, and a community center that is sometimes helpful, but that is about it.
The gay scene here is like the musical “Brigadoon” – -the queens here only come out for two days in March for gay pride, and then you won’t see or hear from them for another year! Our gay pride parade lasts no longer than 15 minutes!
The link you have posted for bars is incorrect. Kashmir closed nearly two years ago, and only about half of those bars exist, not the “scores” you claim.
The gays in West Palm Beach don’t party here. They make the 45 minute trek down I-95 to Fort Lauderdale, which is a far more outgoing scene.
Wanna really get away? Do what the West Palm Beach queens do – -GO TO LAUDERDALE! It is worth paying a little more than the $87 bargain and you’ll have a lot more fun!
Peace!
We have something like this in West Palm Beach. I will be sure the mention it to West Palm Beach Escorts. South Florida has so much to offer the business traveler.
