5th annual HomoCulture Tour announced - Gay lifestyle publication set to attend and report on important gay events across North America in 2020

VANCOUVER, Feb. 20, 2020 /CNW/ - HomoCulture, North America's leading source on gay culture announced today the 2020 HomoCulture Tour, a multi-destination tour designed to celebrate the diverse and colorful community and report on the stories that matter most to the queer community and showcase the best of gay culture.

HomoCulture founder and visionary, Brian Webb, will embark on the HomoCulture Tour and make stops throughout North America in 2020. The HomoCulture Tour will travel to Pride parades, Pride festivals, street fairs, events, parties, and LGBT-friendly destinations. These experiences will culminate into captivating, in-depth stories on the HomoCulture website and memorable social media content.

The focus of this year's HomoCulture Tour is to visit destinations and to attend events that have not previously been a part of the HomoCulture Tour, and to cover quintessential events and destinations important to gay culture. Already confirmed as part of the HomoCulture Tour are two new destinations, Whitehorse, Yukon and Oahu, Hawaii, along with two events, Phoenix Pride and San Francisco Pride.

"Each stop on the HomoCulture Tour is specifically curated so we can experience welcoming and inclusive accommodations, activities, and events the destination offers," explains HomoCulture owner and editor-in-chief, Brian Webb. "This allows our team the opportunity to learn first-hand about the issues, challenges, and successes of the LGBT community at a grassroots level."

Over the years, HomoCulture has built a strong reputation for recommending, capturing and reporting on gay events. The majority of the stops on the HomoCulture Tour are purposely selected and planned around key events on the gay calendar, based on their importance, timing, priority, and regular input from HomoCulture readers.

"Attending Pride and other gay events allows the HomoCulture team to provide accurate reviews and viewpoints of these destinations and events so our readers can make informed decisions on where and what they will plan to visit in the future," said Brian Webb. "Through powerful storytelling, our own, high-impact photography, and unique on-the-ground experiences, we are able to produce fantastic, rich, and original content for our fans and followers, which they have come to rely on."

Since the HomoCulture Tour began in 2016, there have been 94 tour stops, totalling 374 room night stays, 178 flight segments, 18 road trips, 5 trains, and 2 ferries. It all adds up to a significant amount of travel.
