Top Vacation Spot for Closeted Men is...


So, where do closeted gay men go for vacation?

LA? New York?

Well, according to a recent poll by MissTravel.com, the answer is Chicago, Illinois?

Yep, Chi-town followed by Sydney, Australia. Two very opposite places.

Here's more:
A press release from the site claims that over 5,000 "male members seeking male travel companions" were initially polled to learn if they were out and the 41% "who were in fact closeted were then surveyed to discover their top destinations for discreet travel."

“With gay marriage recently being recognized by the state of Illinois, it is not surprising that many closeted men are flocking to The Windy City,” Brandon Wade, Founder & CEO of MissTravel.com, said in a statement. “Chicago offers a wide variety of gay­-friendly attractions that complement the midwestern values the city was founded on.” The press release for the survey also noted that Chicago "is a business hub, making it a plausible destination for prudent travel" and that "all cities that made the final cut were gay-­friendly destinations that also catered to a heterosexual audience."
I never thought of Chi-town, but hey, maybe the Windy city does something to closeted guys.
