Hello, sunny Palm Springs! In this episode of Best Gaycation Ever I'm joined by queer Colombian-born writer and author Manuel Betancourt who currently divides his time between Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Join us as we discuss the famous Arenas District, the city's super queer nightlife and shopping area. We'll also talk about our favorite clothing-optional gay hotels, restaurants, bars, attractions, and more in this sun-drenched midcentury paradise.

A queer mecca in the middle of Arkansas?! Yes, it's a thing! In this episode of Best Gaycation Ever I'm joined by journalist and author Nico Lang who spent his honeymoon in Eureka Springs, a gay village in the middle of the Ozark Mountains. Often dubbed the San Francisco of the South, Lang and I deep dive into this little Victorian town where homos and hippies and holy rollers collide. Plus, we talk about Lang's new book "American Teenager: How Trans Kids Are Surviving Hate and Finding Joy in a Turbulent Era."
