Welcome to #GoQueer - the travel newsletter for the LGBTQ+ community. We dish out insider tips, share epic lists of queer hotspots, and snag unbeatable deals so you can #LoveWhereYouGo.

This week:

• Our list of the 9 best Pride events happening later this year ✊

• The 21 best early Prime Day deals for the gays 💸

• A roundup of the latest in queer travel news 🗞️

• Plus this week’s best travel deals ✨ 

Oh, and btw: we don’t make money from the content in this newsletter. We’re recommending these things because we actually love them.

Q&A Time:

Last time we asked, does the FBI alert issued about Pride make you more or less likely to attend? Here are the results:

Cathy said: ”We cannot give in to these extremists. We fought long and hard for our right to Pride. Yes, be vigilant but be brave.”

Tonie said… “I feel the government wants to keep us in a perpetual state of fear. This is just one more example.”

And Bruce is ready: “I won’t be bullied by small-minded terrorists. They start shooting. I’ll shoot back!” Gay wrath month, indeed!

This week, we want to know: Have you ever been to a Pride event in another country? If so, tell us where! If not, tell us why - you can enter a comment after submitting your vote.
