Dear Readers

This year is flying by. It’s hard to believe that May is already here!

It’s the time of year when I start thinking about summer vacation or maybe this year, it will be a staycation for some of us.

As I flip through this month’s magazine, there are many options. A visit to Key West might be nice. There is Island House, the award-winning gay resort. New Orleans House, the only gay men’s guesthouse on Duval Street, and I could see a show at Bourbon Street Pub. Perhaps I’ll go on a European adventure with the luxury LGBTQ+ travel and cruise planners at Source Journeys. Maybe I’ll hop on a plane with friends for a one night getaway, at Atlantis Paradise Island in the Bahamas to see Christina Aguilera. 

Visit Florida has articles in the May issue that will guide you to some of the best travel destinations statewide.   

There are plenty of activities right here in South Florida from May-June, and so a staycation may be the answer. There is the Pride Center’s Equality Park After Dark, FlockFest SPLASH Pool Party Memorial Weekend, comedian Kathy Griffin at Parker Playhouse, The Mizz Out South Florida Pageant at Sunshine Cathedral, Take Pride Opening Reception at Galleria, and Gay Days Orlando.

Let’s not forget that Sunday, May 12 is Mother’s Day. I’d like to show my appreciation to my Mom, Connie, for editing every article in OutClique Magazine.  

We hope you enjoy our May issue, and whether you’re lounging on a sandy beach, exploring bustling city streets, or immersing yourself in the tranquility of nature, may your vacation be filled with joy, laughter, and moments of serenity.

Warm regards,

Dr. Steven¹
