Florida Panhandle for quick anniversary getaway
I dwell at Pensacola Beach. The residents on the Island are mostly GLBT kind - we're by and large a pretty laid-back, live and let reside, bunch.

Gay Florida Panhandle Road Trip Guide
Florida’s Panhandle stretches roughly 200 miles from the state line at Alabama east to Apalachicola and north to Tallahassee. The region is home to numerous historical, natural, and cultural gems – and the bluest waters I’ve seen in Florida. If you’re interested in a Panhandle road trip, then plan at least a few days in the region.

I drove through Apalachicola on the way into the panhandle, spent a afternoon in Destin, a daytime in Pensacola Beach, and then ended my trip exploring Panama City before heading toward Tallahassee.
How Queer is The Panhandle?
Although progress is being made on the Panhandle to generate a more welcoming environment to LGBTQ visitors and residents, I won’t rest – there’s still operate to do. As a lipstick lesbian who is very out about organism married to a miss, I felt very cozy with everyone I met.

A pioneer of the online gay & lesbian travel industry, Desiree was looking to start a gay commute blog. She wanted a creative a way she and her colleagues could share honest, respectful perspectives of the many businesses, travel destinations and events they frequent.
What sets Gay Travel Information apart is that we don’t just focus on “the usual” LGBT owned bars, cafes and inns — or on businesses that list themselves as “gay friendly” simply because of an affixed rainbow sticker on the front of a window or flying a rainbow flag outside their business.

After all, most places these days will label themselves as homosexual friendly. We only spotlight businesses that offer a truly great product. Something we are proud to give our “stamp of approval” to based on factors such as ambiance, service, crowd and quality of product.

Destin LGBTQ City Guide
Situated in the panhandle on Florida’s stunning Emerald Coast, Destin is a city with a population of around only 20,000 people, but millions of tourists attend each year. One trip to Destin and it would be easy to see why – the 100-mile Emerald Coastline is known for its sugary white sand, emerald waters, and friendly people.
