The National Angola Flag
Those interested in the history of African countries may confirm that today’s nations in Africa are relatively new in comparison to (for example) countries in Europe. European influence, for the good or the bad, can be seen throughout Africa. The republic of Angola, for example, was under rule of mainly the Portuguese for a numbers of years. The republic’s flag was first hoisted on residential flag poles when it was granted independence.Read More

Hawaii provides a pristine paradise that attracts travelers from across the globe to its many-colored picturesque beaches. Because of a welcoming, warm population and a blend of Polynesian, Asian and white European cultures, this island paradise has long been a popular travel destination for both straight and gay vacations.

Ireland As A Gay Tours Destination
Gay vacations to Ireland have been a popular choice dating back to at least the time of Oscar Wilde. While Ireland may not have been nearly as LGBT-friendly in his time, it has come a long way since the days of folks – like Wilde – being sent to hard labor camps or jail for what was then known as “indecency.” In fact, up until 1861 the act of sodomy was punishable by death, but today Ireland has recently moved ahead of the U.S. when it comes to LGBT rights by legalizing civil unions for same-sex couples in 2009, after decriminalizing homosexuality in 1993.Read More
