ort Lauderdale is a city with a multitude of options for its gay residents and visitors, building its base fr om the ever-growing and incr easingly active gay community . W ith a host of fine accommodations, r esorts, bars, clubs, r estaurants and other businesses catering to the community, this resort city has stepped out of the shadow of its famous neighbor to the South, establishing itself as a destination in its own right. Its attractions are simple: a br oad, long white sand beach, warm, blue ocean water, a friendly and courteous “family” oriented gay community, an affordable option to the pricey Miami Beach and easy access, by air, from anywhere in the United States, Canada and abr oad. Due to the tir eless efforts of the local gay community and an enterprising Convention and V isitors Bureau, Fort Lauderdale has become mor e popular than ever with gay travelers. This has always been a known fact to the Leather Community – particularly the European Leather Community who have, for years, converged upon the city for winter warm-ups. Often thought of as an “alternative” destination to Miami, Key West, Orlando and the Palm Beaches; these cities may have one particular facet that outshines Fort Lauder dale but it would be difficult for any of them to boast the complete array of activities this city has to of fer. W ith its gay bed & br eakfasts, mainstream gay-friendly hotels, several gay beaches, alter native and mainstream gay nightlife, tourist attractions, FTL's got it all. Check out the Everglades, Sawgrass Mills, Las Olas Boulevar d, Galleria Mall, Beach Place, the Br oward Performing Arts Center, Museum of Science and Discovery & Broward Museum of Art. There is also excellent shopping, fishing, boating, golfing & bike riding. Fort Lauderdale stands out as a pearl on Florida's coastline. For more info, check out www.FunMaps.com 2
