    The top gay travel destinations revealed

    So you’re owed some holiday time. It’s time to pack your shiz up and go on vacay.

    Are your work colleagues starting to give your work station a wide berth and “concerned” look because you’re giving off that all-work-no-play-makes-Jack-go-crazy look?

     

    But where to go? The world is your oyster.

    Well users over at Ranker.com have been voting on the best holiday destinations to go to if you’re LGBT…

    Here’s where they suggested:

    San Francisco

    Ah, possibly the gayest location on earth. Don’t forget to visit the Castro and breath in all that gay history.

    Paris

    I mean they say Gay Paris don’t they!

    Seattle

    The weather may not always be perfect, but its stance on equality has always been incredible having legalised same-sex marriage in 2012 and having provisions for gay state employees since 2001. Bravo.

    New York City

    How you doin’…

    Montreal

    First of the Canadian cities to get voted on… Best time to go would be early August when the city celebrates Pride.

    Vancouver

    It’s where Please Like Me is filmed… and find out what our roving travel guy Nick Baker thought of it.

  • Suspect In Double Homicide Of Two Gay Men In Seattle Arrested

    The man who is suspected of killing two young gay men in Seattle has been arrested following a cross-country man-hunt that ended in New Jersey.

    Two men in their twenties were shot in the head and killed in Seattle after a night out with friends in June.

    30-year-old Ali Muhammed Brown was charged with the shootings, but had been on the run, until police in New Jersey managed to capture him just days ago.

    Initial autopsies suggest that the victims were ‘essentially executed’ said Senior Deputy Prosecutor Wyman Yip.

    Prosecutors say the two victims, Ahmed Said, 27 and Dwone Anderson-Young 23, were targeted and lured via a social app.

    Brown was arrested in New Jersey, without incident.

    If convicted of the two counts of aggravated first-degree murder, Brown could face the death penalty.

    ‘It is evident that the murders were premeditated and unprovoked and part of a common scheme or plan’ noted Senior Deputy Prosecutor Wyman Yip in the charging documents.
