Get Gay Travel: A New Way to Get Gay in the New Year!

By Douglas Calhoun

While you might only afford to dream of your next getaway in this very cold post-holiday season, the folks at Get Gay Travel – a group of young travel know-it-alls who are catering to the queer travel community – are planning to transform the way gays and straights alike get from state to state or country to country. Queerespondence was able to grill Get Gay Travel’s President Ari Warshawsky to find out what they are all about and to also get some hot destination picks, so whether you’re jetsetting or roadtripping there is a thrilling adventure in your (not so distant) future!

Love Your Bartender: Scott Gold, Char No. 4

By Cait Weiss

Brooklyn is a borough of bars and rumor has it, we have many other things too. Be that true or not, Brooklyn is a unique hub of distinct neighborhood taverns, each filled with its own pack of fiercely dedicated locals. It’s no surprise, then, that Brooklyn is also a borough of bartenders. In Love Your Bartender, a brand new feature on BrooklynTheBorough.com, we’ll take a look at men and women who stand out as they stand behind our Brooklyn bars. We’ll also find out where they choose to let their hair down, and let someone else pour the pints for a change.
