Spring has sprung, and with it comes wedding season. If you are planning on tying the knot this season you are also planning where to go to consummate those nuptials. Picking just the right location to let loose and pound out some of the stress that planning the wedding has kept you both under is a big undertaking. Statistically, same-sex couples rarely go on a honeymoon after their wedding, we’re here to help. Check out this list of the sexiest honeymoon destinations for LGBTQ+ couples.
Hawaii
Even before the Supreme Court passed the marriage equality act Hawaii was well known for being accepting of LGBTQ+ couples. Honolulu especially has an extensively gay-friendly nightlife. However, if you and your honey are looking for something a little more intimate Kauai has breathtaking scenery, as well as more secluded options for you and your special someone.
Maine
If humidity doesn’t agree with you perhaps Coastal Maine would be a more appropriate destination for you. Maine voted to recognize same-sex marriage 5 years ago, so the romantic inn’s and b&b’s are perfectly adapted to accepting LGBTQ+ newlyweds. Plus you’re in for a treat with the seafood, can you say delicious aphrodisiacs?
Amsterdam
Home to sex museums and the Drag Queen Olympics Amsterdam is the perfect place to let your freak flag fly. However, if you are having a spring wedding you will want to delay the honeymoon a bit if Amsterdam is your destination. Most of their LGBTQ+ events are held during July and August. However, there really is no bad time to visit this beautiful location.
Disney
If you and your spouse are big kids at heart there is nothing quite as magical as Disney. Long known for their acceptance of same-sex couples, Disney even offers customizable honeymoon packages. If you are still in the planning stages of your wedding you should look into their Fairy Tale Wedding program!
All of these places also have “Gay-friendly” lodgings, bars, and restaurants so you won’t have to worry at all about showing all the loving you want to your new husband or wife. Once you’ve settled on a destination, it’s important to decide if you want a gay owned and operated property or gay-friendly property. Gay-friendly accommodations are everywhere and often provide more amenities, activities, and can be all-inclusive depending on the destination. Congratulations and happy honeymooning!
