In June, “Gay London/Gay Paris.”
10 days/9 nights, including walking tours,
museums, and excursions to Oxford; Alan
Turing’s lab at Bletchley Park; and the gayest
of the Loire chateaux. Get to know the gay
side of Europe’s two great cities, from
Shakespeare’s time to Stephen Fry’s. We

restaurants—including two of Oscar
Wilde’s favorites!
In September, “Greece, the
Homeland of Same-Sex Love.”
10 days/9 nights, including Athens,
Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi,
Mykonos and Delos. Learn about
ancient Greece’s gay culture, and its importance for the
foundation of Western democracy, philosophy, and athletics!

11 days/10 nights, including Rome, Tivoli, Naples, Pompeii,
Capri, Paestum, and Florence. Explore the same-sex side of
ancient Rome, the Renaissance, and
modern Italy—plus, of course,
fabulous scenery, gorgeous art, and
amazing food.
Donatello’s David—
a masterpiece
of Renaissance
sculpture—was
a scandalous
representation of
a great Biblical
hero: languid,
effeminate, and
unmistakably
homoerotic.
