LGBTQI+ Travel

The Trip Doctor Podcast

A variety of places in the world have recently moved towards equality for LGBTQI+ people – from the legalization of gay marriage to the focus on equality from many major corporate entities, things seem to be slowly getting better. But what about the travel world? Has social progress led to better travel conditions for LGBTQI+ travelers? My guests today are Dr. Clifford Lewis from Charles Sturt University and Dr. Faith Ong from the University of Queensland. Clifford and Faith have been studying LGBTQI+ travel in Australia and Singapore for the past several years. I caught up with them at the TTRA international conference in Melbourne this summer to talk about the issues that LGBTQI+ travelers face, including being lumped together as if they are one homogeneous group. They also discuss what you can do as a traveler to be an ally on the road.
