There’s a class of modern day nomads that include homosexuals, and a new publication was written catered just to them. In “Traveling in our Fabulous World”, Donald Pile and Ray Williams go beyond the regular touristy sites to see, and make specific note of gay hot spots in different cities. From locales with gay history, to the best places to mingle with men today, the book is the ultimate resource for the savvy gay traveler. Explore the best of New York, Boston, Kansas City, L.A., and of course, San Francisco!

New York: Oscar Wilde Bookshop, 15 Christopher St. Known as the world’s first gay and lesbian bookshop, it has been a vanguard of gay literature since 1967. Gay activist Craig Rodwell opened the Oscar Wilde Bookshop during Thanksgiving weekend of 1967 on Mercer Street in New York City. At a time when “gay bookstore” meant “porn store,” Rodwell refused to carry pornography and focused on gay and lesbian literature. He ran the store entirely by himself for the first 18 months. In 1973 the store moved to its current location at 15 Christopher St., a block from the historic Stonewall Inn. Rodwell died in 1993, and in 1996 the store went through a major renovation and expansion. In early 2006, Kim Brinster, longtime manager of the bookstore, took over ownership. The staff understands the importance of the Oscar Wilde to the LGBT community. (campkc)
