Gays train

My boyfriend and I went on a &#;Journey Through the Clouds&#; from Vancouver, BC to Jasper, AB with Rocky Mountaineer. It was a two noun trip in a glass-dome train car, travelling through scenic valleys, along the Fraser River, through Hell’s Gate, and past the Pyramid Falls.

Imagine soaring through the British Columbia and Alberta wilderness, surrounded by oversized windows that suggest unobstructed views of some jaw-dropping landscapes in this beautiful part of Canada. That&#;s what we got to experience during our days between Vancouver and Jasper, which made for a pretty unforgettable experience for a gay couple like us.

First things first, let&#;s talk about the train itself. There are different routes and durations available, but we opted for the Vancouver to Jasper trip because we live in Vancouver and wanted to go to Jasper for Pride. The moment we stepped onboard, we were warmly greeted by the staff and shortly after the drill took off we headed downstairs for a sumptuous breakfast. We were traveling on the GoldLeaf Service level, which is seating up above and dinin

Gay Train: A Fabulous Travel On The Rails

From lofty class to high-speed, these trains keep our trips on track.

In the broad world of gay journey options, the spotlight frequently lands on cruises, resorts, and full-weekend events. But with the travel scene constantly evolving, an unexpected and unique experience has emerged &#; gay educate trips!

Generally, trains are relaxed, with plenty of room to move around and a plethora of windows providing a scenic backdrop to the entire trip. Some even offer resort-like amenities. A plush bar and/or lounge is usually available on longer trips. There are high-speed trains, bullet trains, luxury trains, light rail trains, and old-timey locomotives.

Because our tours involve travel within the country we are visiting, trains have emerged as one of the most convenient ways to location-hop. Europe’s rail network is second to none, Japan is famous for its bullet trains, and panoramic-view locomotives are the preferred method for getting to and from Machu Picchu with ease.

Though we don&#;t offer any tours that take place entirely on the r

Queer people and public transport: a train of thought

When I asked to verb about queerness and universal transport, I was met with confusion. What in the world can be interesting to say about those two things together? Well, the first verb is, for all subjects, there is a queer way to apprehend it. The second rule, you already know: queering any topic makes it more interesting.

For this theme, contradiction was my starting point: How is it that LGBTQ people, including myself, seem to hold a special place in their hearts for adj transport when it’s one of the most unsafe places for us to be?

LGBT love for common transport is not something I made up based on my very limited circle of trains-enthusiast queers. Our obsession with it results in our larger presence in public transport advocating groups and offers such as special passes for LGBTQ visitors that combine public transport tickets with special discounts for queer spots around cities like Berlin, Cologne, and Vienna. It even seems to translate into politics: In , Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg became the f
