Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

  • Watch out for "June Gloom" and "the Santa Anas." Two L.A.-specific weather phenomena are the fog banks and overcast skies that can hang around for days in June (actually, it can happen anytime from March to August), and the Santa Ana winds that can make you feel like Dorothy in Kansas. Summer in general can also be very hot—especially in the Valley—and it's also peak tourist season.
  • Join a live studio audience. Probably the only way you’ll actually see a celebrity in L.A. is by seeing a TV show being taped. Tickets are free and are sometimes handed out on Hollywood Boulevard or at Universal City. You can also get them at www.tvtickets.com.
  • If you don't drive, stay in West Hollywood. If you don’t drive or are scared of L.A.'s monumental traffic and simply want to focus on L.A.'s gay life, stay in one of WeHo's upscale hotels. You'll be within walking distance of gay nightlife, shops, and restaurants.
