Julia H. and Claire D. / 18, 17 / Salt Spring Island, British Columbia
“We’re gay girls/friends (not gay girlfriends), on vacation with some other [straight] friends, and this is us after a hike up Mt. Erskine yesterday!”
Alex Brown and Sadie LaBriere / 26, 32 / Santa Cruz, CA
“We took a road trip to Santa Cruz and spent the day at Shark Fin Beach. Just a couple of bros chasing waves and making memories.”
Zoë / 22 / Tent near Lake Mývatn, Iceland
“Snapped this photo of Zoë chilling in the tent after a day exploring a lava tube cave filled with ice in Iceland. Yes, she looked that queer the whole day.”
Sarah / 30 / New York, NY
“My partner and I took a trip to New York for the weekend to hang out with her best friend/partner and ex-girlfriend/partner (very typical lesbian hang, right?). Anyway we were urged to enter the Hamilton lottery and somehow won? This is us before the show started! Our seats were front row and I could literally feel the spit from the actors and actresses raining down on my expectant and exuberant face. I also ugly cried at least four times. Amazing show.”
Tess / 20 / Pride in London, UK
“I’d been to Pride before, but this year was my very first Pride in London! It was very hot and very busy, but here’s a picture of me being super excited about having a rainbow flag on my face.”
MacKenzie / 22 / Chicago, IL
“Mini vacation to Chicago for a blues dancing event. Got to listen to a lot of amazing live blues bands at the Chicago Blues Festival, dance all night, and run through the fountains in Millennium Park with a bunch of amazing people fully clothed.”
Leah and Katie / 30, 24 / Pennsylvania
“Here we are visiting my family in Pennsylvania on the Fourth of July. We went as a fruit salad.”
Kerri / 33 / Marlboro, NY
“I live in New York and did some house/dog/chicken-sitting for a friend. The definition of upstate? North of wherever you are!”
Erica / 27 / New York City, NY
“I grew up in New Jersey and spent the entirety of my life hating New York City. Now that I live on the other side of the country, I love doing touristy things in NYC every chance I get.”
Meg and Abigail / 25, 22 / Cricova, Moldova
“Moldova may not be the first place that comes to mind as a gay vacation destination, but we did our level best to make it one. Pictured here is our excitement to be on a tour of the (very Gringotts-like) Cricova wine cellars. Though we considered sneaking away from the group to become cave-dwelling witch-hermits, our guide was a little too vigilant and we were unable to realize this dream.”
