We at Brand g Vacations want to share one last LGBT Love Story that we received for our Share the Love Contest. The winning couple will join us on our Danube Riverboat cruise in August. I had spent several days wondering how I would confide to her that I hadn’t always been a man. We…
Ginger Meets Gymnast
Jon and Gaar definitely win our “Most Adorable” LGBT love story award! Meet Jon: Remember back in the good old days, when you had to walk ten miles in the snow uphill both ways to get to school, when penny candy actually cost a penny, and when you had to have a certified college email…
Casey + Josh = Love
Another touching story from our Share the Love Contest. Congratulations, Casey and Josh, on your eight years of commitment to each other… I moved to Minneapolis in the summer of 2004 after graduating from the UW-Madison. I was a naive recent graduate with one friend in the city and a 600 square foot apartment in Loring…
Thank You, Michael, for this Priceless Love Story
I used to be a Train Conductor, and my life was just as boring as that sounds. After 10 years of doing the same thing and looking at it as what I was going to do for the rest of my life, finding someone to share my life seemed like a dream too hard to…
LGBT Love in the Air
Ivan & Matt met on a plane to Atlanta. Seated next to each other, the two actors quickly learned they were both traveling to work on the same play. Within a week they were together, and their “showmance” will celebrate 6 years in August.
Seth and Nick’s love story
We’ve received so many heartfelt love stories for our Brand g Vacations contest to win a romantic Danube riverboat cruise. Here’s one of our favorites of the week… When I first met Nick, I was finishing up my degree at Utah State University, working two jobs, struggling with my sexuality and I was about to…
Celebrating LGBT Love, Giving Away a Riverboat Cruise
We had been planning a February 14 Love contest to give away a cabin on our Danube Riverboat Cruise, and to our pleasant surprise, Washington State and California decided to trump Saint Valentine’s. So instead of giving away a romantic all-gay cruise for two just because it’s that time of year, we get to celebrate…
California Dreamin’
The power of travel is often over used – but I have to admit that last month I had one of the most privileged trips of my life, and it reminded me why I am so fortunate to work in the travel industry. First I went to an LGBT networking event in San Francisco hosted…
For Better or Worse
“To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God’s holy law, and this is my solemn vow.” I have been thinking a lot of the wedding vows since an…
Gay Riverboat Boom Satisfies Culture-Seeking Crowd
In 1986, the first all-gay cruise set sail out of New Orleans with 750 guests thanks to Kevin Mossier, founder of RSVP Vacations. Because of the social climate of the time, during the height of the AIDS epidemic and socialized homophobia, Kevin saw a need to create a safe place for gays and lesbians to…
Mexico City – A Best-Kept Secret, Revealed
I hand-picked three very special destinations when I launched Brand g Vacations, and one of them is Mexico City, where gays and lesbians not only enjoy full marriage equality but also world-class cuisine, archeological treasures, art, fashion and unrivaled hospitality. Colonial mansions and excavated pyramids co-exist with fabulous shops, museums, and galleries. Its principal street,…
Are Gays More Brand-Loyal?
One of the key concepts in creating a new LGBT tour operator, Brand g Vacations, was to organize escorted group tours to destinations where gays and lesbians have full equality, including marriage. Our goal was to reward Mexico City, Canada, Argentina, Spain, New York State, etc, with our business. But in fact does this matter to our guests?…
What LGBT Giving Means to Me
When we started Brand g Vacations, our goals were to choose destinations that have led the way in improving the lives of gay people, and to eventually incorporate philanthropy into all of our vacations because we believe that travel has the power to change our lives and inspire us to give. As more and more…
