New York Times Survey Lists Minneapolis As LGBT Travel Hot Spot

After Minnesota became one of the first states in the Midwest to legalize same-sex marriage, it became a new travel ‘hot-spot.’

According to the New York Times, Minneapolis is now on the list of “up and coming LGBT” places to visit, especially with the Pride celebration coming up.

New York Times completed the survey after talking with gay and lesbian travel experts.

It estimates the annual economic impact of LGBT travelers to be about $70 billion a year in the United States.

Other cities on the hot spot list include Eureka Springs, Arkansas, the Big Island on Hawaii, and Pittsburgh.

Note to self: Add Minneapolis to list of cities to avoid at all costs.

Make a note, wear a warning bracelet, get a tattoo.

Home of Mark Dayton, Betsy Hodges, Al Franken, Amy Kloubuchar, Keith Ellison...

There is no stupider city between the Hudson River and the Sierra Nevadas.

Does Eureka Springs still have its passion play? It will be the next to go if it hasn’t already.

Minneapolis has more off-the-boat Muslims than anywhere else; Somalis.

Go on LGBT Morons, make sure you vacay there and let everyone (especially your cabdriver) know why you are there.

I would like to visit MN because MN, IA, and ND are the only states in which I have never been, excpept for HI and AK. I have been to such a small part of RI that I probably should claim that one either. Same for “Red Hampshire”. But quite a bit of ME and VT.

Didn’t our little Republican Party go to Minneapolis for a convention in 2008? They never got any credit!

AR is changing, and Pryor is back in the Senate lead as I understand it.

Minnesota was (and in parts still is) a lovely and friendly place but is hideously misgoverned out of Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Eureka Springs is a resort town about 40 miles east of me-gay as all get-out! They’ve lost a lot of business because of that. A lot of people mistakenly show up there during one of their various “Diversity” weekends. I made that mistake not once, but twice!

Isn’t that where Larry Craig had his little incident?

(BTW, he should have used the “speech and debate” clause in his defense — he was on his way to the Capitol to perform his official duties, just changing planes there. Unless there was more to it than we’ve been told.)
