If you're looking for a gay-friendly holiday destination, consider booking a vacation to Spain, which has emerged as the most tolerant country in a recently released study.
Gay Traveler's insight:
Frankly, a somewhat bizarre interpretation of the results of a Pew Research Center study. Follow the link in the article to the Pew website to read more about the original research - that doesn't have to do with travel at all but simply attitudes. Not that attitudes aren't important, but the headline gives the impression this study has to do specifically with travel. Delete the scoop?

Summer. Time for gay men across the country to make our annual pilgrimages from the urban jungles we call home. We flock to the sandy meccas of America, where beach boys run wild and mimosas run bottomless (and the boys occasionally run bottomless, too): P’town, Fire Island, and—if you can take the heat—Key West.

As local lore has it, the proprietors of Provincetown, Mass., love ’’Bear Week.’’ These are, after all, men who love to eat, drink and be merry - not tourists who avoid food, bars and everything else that comes with a tourist-town price tag.
