1. Copenhagen: The capital city of laid-back Denmark is hosting the Outgames in 2009 and is high on the must-visit list as it gears up.2. Manchester, England: There's more to England than London, and Manchester is increasingly on the GLBT traveller's gaydar. Their pride festival (Aug. 15 to 25 in 2008) is one of the biggest of its kind in Britain.
3. Spain: Canada isn't the only place that has legalized same-sex marriage. Spain did, too -- and the weather is a lot warmer.
4. Buenos Aires: Very trendy right now. You can even do gay tango. Who knew? More important: Who leads?
5. Guerrilla Gay Fare: On the second Friday of every month, hundreds of gays, lesbians and friends descend on an unsuspecting straight bar and take it over for the night. This secret operation is co-ordinated through Facebook -- you've got to be in the know to be a part of it -- and operates in cities all over, including Ottawa.
6. An Atlantis cruise: Have Speedo, will travel. These popular gay cruises sell out months in advance. Not ready for a floating party? Try the Atlantis events in Cancun or Puerto Vallarta.
7. Black and Blue, Montreal: Circuit parties, circuit parties ... there's so much to choose from. This annual Montreal tradition, held each year in October, is world-class.
8. The Gazebo Inn: This 10-room establishment in an old farmhouse near Ogunquit, Maine recently won kudos from OutTraveler.com. Gay-owned and dog-friendly, it attracts a mix of gay, straight and furry clients.
9. Palm Springs: A town full of clothing-optional resorts in the California desert -- oh, my!
10. Utah Gay and Lesbian Ski Week: Gays and lesbians do more than bar-hop. There are plenty of GLBT outdoors events, like the ski week that takes place Jan. 9 to 13, 2008 in Park City, Utah. (source)
