It’s crazy that a gallon of gas has now eclipsed the price of a bottle of our favorite cheap wine in college. Fortunately, our wine appreciation has dramatically improved. So, we’re going to treat our discerning palates to some delightful wines this weekend at an out-of-town food event that won’t empty the gas tank. This week, the Fort Worth Food […]
Most of the biggest summer songs ever written have been about “keeping boyfriends warm at night,” “waxing down our surfboards” and “getting down on our knees pretending to pray.” Damn, Beach Boys lyrics sure sound pretty gay out of context. But we’re here today to argue that as much as we love California, perhaps the queerest destination of all this […]
At this point in our travel career, we’ve been to Pride celebrations in at least three dozen cities. Vallarta Pride still holds a spot in our top-five favorites of all time, right up there with New York, Toronto, Miami Beach and Breckendridge—each spectacular for wildly different reasons. This year’s Vallarta Pride celebration lasts from Sunday, May 17 until Sunday, May […]
We write about a lot of Pride events all over the world here at He Said Dallas. But sometimes a passion for parties and parades can celebrate being proud about something besides the LGBTQ+ community. Take Fiesta San Antonio, for instance. This 10-day festival celebrates everything we love so much about the Alamo City. Fiesta highlights so much of the […]
It’s been two years since we first visited Central Oregon and we’ve been desperate to return. Well, now we have a perfect reason: Winter PrideFest Central Oregon this March 5-8. Drag performances, parties, comedy, parties, bingo, parties, skiing, parties and most importantly, après skiing. Stay at Campfire Hotel in Bend, Oregon for an even longer list of rainbow-hued, super-queer happenings. […]
Few parties for someone turning 15 would ever be on our radar. But, when we’re taking about the 15th Gay Wine Weekend, that’s cause for celebration. We missed last year’s, but this iconic Sonoma County event each summer remains one of our favorite queer weekends ever. This year’s event uncorks from July 17-19 and returns to the Sonoma Valley, site […]
Your next big gay vacation only requires a single Benjamin to be surrounded by hundreds of Johns, Chads and Sebastians. That’s right. For a mere $100 deposit, you’ll soon be on your way to Sweatymanville with a layover in Speedotown. This June 4-8, One Magical Weekend (OMW) returns to Florida as “Orlando’s Juiciest Event” and we’re pretty sure they’re not […]
As we write this, we are onboard our flight about to take off from LaGuardia back to Dallas. Facing the sad reality that our annual winter trip to Manhattan has come to a close, we are feeling reflective. And delightfully sober for once thanks to our continuing Dry January stint. We started our early winter NYC vacation tradition back in […]
Long-time readers or anyone who’s ever chatted with us for more than 11 minutes know how much we love New Orleans. It’s such a unique destination, filled with quirky characters and fantastic food. So over the years, we’ve started to embrace other Louisiana cities, many of which exude the same charms. Our favorites all boast locals with a zest for […]
Only two more days left of 2025! So, that means it’s time to look ahead to 2026 and start planning some travel. Near, far, wherever you are, we’ve got plenty of ideas. Some travel ideas we shared last week, the rest we give you today from our travels over the past 12 months. Book your flight (or map your drive), […]
