Fedi folks of #Baltimore I want your thoughts and opinions!
One of my peeps is traveling to Baltimore for work and loves to explore cities.

- What are some of _your_ favorite parts of the city? This doesn't have to be anything with more general appeal, but something you like personally.
- What are some quirks of local culture that you love about the area?
- What are some things you wish were improved about the city?

Then a couple of more advisory questions:

- What are some places you'd recommend for a femme presenting queer person to visit or check out?
- What are some things they should be aware of while exploring that are specific to Baltimore?

It’s definitely not unusual to make a bit of small talk on a flight, especially if it’s this long, so I didn’t think much of it. That is, until he looked at my boyfriend and asked whether it was only me and my “friend” for this trip.

From the rooftop bar at the gay bar Hula’s Tiki, I watched the sunset turn the ocean gold. Live kī hō‘alu music mingled with the sweet smoke of grilled pineapple. Warm, salt-soft air wrapped around us. Queer life here didn’t whisper or hide in shadows; it bloomed in the open.

To go forward with my life, my sister and I take a road trip. I’m Rachel Addison, a transgender woman, and we’re going back to the beloved holiday park where we stayed as kids in the late 1980s. The park has had a bit of a makeover since then — I have too, and this is my first time out as full femme in broad daylight.

I should have known better. I had already experienced the same fear and anxiety the year before on a trip to Tanzania. After this second faux pas, I won't let this happen again.

How global travel exposes the harsh realities of LGBTQ+ criminalization

I can't find the original discussion about "safe" travels in the USA as a Queer person. I think we talked about a lgbtq+ version of The Green Book, and or an editable website or doc where we could all post safe local spots and local lgbtq centers, etc. today this popped up on my feed, Archie Bongiovanni, cartoonist, made this zine "You're Gay and Visiting Minneapolis".... I think we need more of these,but easy to locate with a hashtag or via a website list.

I even danced a waltz with a handsome Prince Charming.
By midnight I was back in my bed knowing in the morning I would be back to washing dishes and cleaning out the fireplace as usual.

My Transgender Transatlantic Dream Cruise Had To Have an Ending

I finally got to my Cinderella Ball after an entire lifetime of dreaming and wishing. I went to the ball as pretty as I could be, in a lovely gown, and danced late into the night on a solo cruise…

I danced with a man, as a woman.
I let him lead and it felt wonderful.
It was a waltz, a totally #LGBTQ waltz. He was #gay, and I was a #transgender woman, but a gentleman asked a lady to dance and so we did.

I Waltzed with Prince Charming on My Transatlantic Trans Cinderella Cruise

I have been writing a series of my experiences as a transgender woman on a transatlantic cruise (see the series below). I intended to stop because I was worried that I was beginning to get boring or…
