It was somewhere on the M1 motorway, driving from Dublin, Ireland, to Belfast, that I first considered the differences between gay travel and queer travel. But queer travel? They made the point that while gay travel has historically centered the experiences of thin, cis, white gay men, queer travel probably appeals more to people like us — who don't fit that description — because it's "broader and more inclusive." But queer travel is more likely to embrace the larger community — whether that's women, trans, nonbinary, asexual, neurodivergent, or BIPOC travelers. "Queer travel highlights spaces that are not just welcoming, but intentionally inclusive."
