June not only marks the beginning of summer, but it’s also a celebratory month for the LGBT community worldwide. Gay Pride month kicks off with citywide celebrations from coast to coast. At BnBFinder.com, you can find a wide selection of gay friendly bed and breakfasts at the center of it all with easy access to parades, rallies, dancing, marches and more.
My New York – See where it all began. The 1969 Stonewall Riots in Greenwich Village spurred a nationwide movement for gay and lesbian rights. You can visit the renovated Stonewall Inn before checking out all the events taking place during Heritage of Pride week, June 20-28th. The week’s festivities include pridestfest, an annual LGBT street fair, a candlelight vigil, fireworks and dancing. Stay the whole week at Abingdon Guest House, a bed and breakfast in New York, New York. The inn is conveniently located in Greenwich Village and offers a summer discounted rate for a 5 night stay or more.
Florida’s Best – Looking for a little bit of paradise? Make a trip to Saint Petersburg, better known as “Pride in Paradise,” for the state’s biggest gay pride events. First, check into Beach Drive Inn, Bed & Breakfast in Saint Petersburg, Florida and enjoy complimentary wine and cheese while admiring a panoramic view of the waterfront. Ask the innkeeper about St. Pete Pride, an annual festival that will include a comedy show, parade, silent auction, sunset cruise and film presentations.
San Francisco Beat – The LGBT Pride Celebration and Parade will be in full swing June 27-28th. Now into its 39th year, the celebration will include 300 exhibitors, artists, musicians and performers. Walk to the party from The Grove Inn, a bed and breakfast in San Francisco, California. The charming inn is also walking distance to Telegraph Hill, City Hall, Davies Symphony Hall and an easy ride away from the famed cable cars.
LA Look – Lights! Camera! Pride! Gay pride will take over West Hollywood on June 13-14th with the LA Pride Festival. Thousands are expected to come looking to socialize, eat, drink and watch the parade on Sunday. Avoid the traffic by staying at Edgecliffe House in Los Angeles, California. A short drive away from West Hollywood and located in the trendier part of LA, the quiet location in the hills will be a refuge from all of the day’s excitement.
