Homos better find themselves a new travel rag. We’re hearing that Regent Media cut the cord on The Out Traveler. Anyone know something? Want to tell something.
Holla!
Don't forget to share:
Help make sure LGBTQ+ stories are being told...
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
it was boring. I love to travel and i got this magazeine jointly (i guess as an insert) with my subscription to The Advocate. I usually gave it away to my even more travel savey friend.
Often they gave really bad advice about Gay Safety in order to obtain tourism travel junkets from homophobic countries. They were never responsible to the Gay Community. We deserve honesty in travel as our very lives may depend on their often “rose-colored glasses” take on travel.
It’s going to be absorbed into Out and/or Advocate. Like was said above, it wasn’t a newstand magazine, but a quarterly supplement. Nice exaggeration, though.
i actually enjoyed getting this with my copy of the advocate every so often. it seemed to have a good amount of advertising, so it’s surprising in that respect. too bad, because i don’t know of any magazine that addresses travel from a gay perspective.
It wasn’t very well written and was half assed. I’ve been fortunate to do a lot of travel for an old job and I would read their stories and think “looks like they just lifted information from brochures.”
The features on homophobic countries was an insult and the “gay safety” was a joke. Gee we’re in anti gay land, guess we shouldn’t hold hands.

Traveler was a very fine mag, but wasn’t newsstand; it was really just a supplement, mailed out with Out and Advocate.
