Summer Blooms in Holland
 The Dutch are known for many things, but none so much as their precious
blooms…particularly tulips. Today, wars aren’t waged over Holland’s tulips nor
are they as precious as they once were during the 17th century when they
inspired greed and envy of epic proportions, but they are still a beautiful
distraction that attracts countless visitors to Holland each year.

Naked Amsterdam
 Long before San Francisco was even founded there was a place renowned
for religious, political and sexual freedom, Amsterdam. There is
probably no more tolerant city in the world. Probably the most moving must-see
site in Amsterdam is the canal-side 'Homomonument,' the world’s first memorial
to the gays and lesbians who were exterminated in Nazi concentration camps
during World War II.

Lesbian Travel ‘Ho
 When Maison de la France, the French tourism board, invited me to Midi-Pyrenées
on an all expenses paid gay press junket, I hesitated for about four
seconds—then I packed my bags. The savvy PR people for these guys know
gays spend money where they’re wanted. And we love to travel.

Gay
Copenhagen
 A Danish delight
Copenhagen has long been a
tolerant and relaxed capital for both gay Danes and tourists. The first
gay bar, Centralhjørnet, opened over 80 years ago, and is still going strong -
along with a wealth of other newer cafés & bars. The city even boasts its own
gay radio station, Radio Rosa, and in 1989, Denmark became the first country in
the world to recognize marriage between two persons of the same sex. Talk about
setting a gay pace for the rest of the world!

A Short Guide to European Travel (Part Two)
 This is the second in a series of three articles to
help you plan your European adventure. OK,
so we now know where you are going and when, but where at
the end of a busy day, filled with soaking up history,
culture or just the sun (have you ever noticed how tiring it
can be just lying in the sun?), do you rest your weary
heads?

Iceland
 Gay visitors to Iceland will find a small
but
unique and welcoming gay scene centered in
Reykjavik, Iceland’s capital city on the southern end of the
island. By the way, despite its name, Iceland is not as cold
as you might think. Because of the gulf stream, its winters
are about as cold as New York City’s. But the cool summers
are more typical of San Francisco than New York.

art,' is the focus of a joint campaign announced last week
to market the two European capitals as the ideal
city combination for GLBT visitors from North
America. While Berlin is the energetic new European capital

city where imperial splendor and a hip modern lifestyle are
combined with ease and elegance.

Munich: Bavaria's Gay Treat
 Just like the musical, life is a cabaret in Munich, the
official and the gay capital of Bavaria. And also just like
the musical, life is still as naughty and nice as it was
alleged to be in the 1930s in this top
must-see gay
and lesbian destination.

Mykonos: The Unforgettable Magic
 Mykonos is an island of gay 24-hour partying,
color, spectacular sunsets, and an exhausting
lifestyle fit for any queen - or anyone else for that matter. Hedonistic,
yet decidedly schizophrenic in its ability to offer quiet, hidden beaches
and places where peace reigns, it is one of the few places on earth to offer
something for everyone - including families and children.

Paris: Picture Perfect
 Our first trip to the City of Lights brought to life for us familiar
Hollywood-musical scenes with Gene Kelly,
Leslie Caron and Fred Astaire, as well as
the great French films in black and white - images of Paris that are forever
in our mind's eye. With Paris, what you see on film is what you get, only
better.
