Hello! I’m Desiree Sousa, the proud owner of Gay Travel Information and We Are Gay Friendly.

My journey in the gay hospitality industry began many years ago with the launch of Out & About Travel in 1999. Driven by my passion for travel and the desire to provide the LGBTQ community with diverse options, we became one of the first online travel agencies specializing in gay travel, earning our place as pioneers in the online gay and lesbian travel sector.

In 2010, Out & About Travel transformed into Gay Travel Information, reflecting my vision to shift from a travel agency to a Marketing and PR platform, while continuing to serve the same businesses and events I’ve supported for over a decade.

Today, Gay Travel Information attracts an impressive 150,000+ visitors each month, establishing itself as a premier source of information for the LGBTQ community and its allies.

Here, my colleagues and I not only promote various businesses & events but also share personal experiences through our hotel, restaurant, product, and event spotlights.

In 2013, I proudly launched We Are Gay Friendly, a global directory dedicated to LGBTQ-friendly businesses.

Through these platforms, my mission has always been to empower the LGBTQ community to support one another and our allies.

If you have a business, event, or product that you would like to spotlight on Gay Travel Information or We Are Gay Friendly, or if you are a PR, Marketingor Media contact please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected]. 🌈
