PHOTOS: 30 Amazing Cruise Images On The 30th Anniversary Of The Great RSVP
Happy anniversary, RSVP Vacations! The travel company’s been sending gays and lesbians on fabulous trips around the world for 30 years, and it’s celebrating the way it does best: with another series of amazing cruises in 2015.
Since the mid-1980’s, RSVP’s been a part of the community. When it’s time to party, make new friends, or get away with someone special, the company has been there.
The 30th anniversary cruise sets sail February 8 and heads to the Caribbean — a sort of 30th birthday victory lap, the largest RSVP trip in history.
The vacation starts in Fort Lauderdale, and what a propitious time: a town newly basking in marriage equality. Close to 3,500 guests will head to a private island, then Grand Cayman, and finally Cozumel.
The 30th Anniversary celebration year then continues with another cruise to majestic Alaska on Holland America’s Westerdam.
“It’s amazing to have been around for 30 years,” says RSVP President Randle Roper. “Not many wholly gay-owned and operated businesses can say that. Our loyal and passionate guests have kept us alive through the decades. Now, we’re welcoming more and more first-time guests from around the globe, which will allow us to serve our community for another 30 years.”
Check out 30 commemorative photos below — a fun tour through the last 30 years of seafaring adventure…

Seven Countries You Love That Don’t Treat Us Equally
The following seven countries have one thing in common — they’re all popular travel destinations, for gay and straight tourists alike. We were interested in looking at the legal protections and same-sex marriage rights in the world’s most visited places, and here’s some of what we found.
How important is local legal equality when you plan out your world travels? Does this make you think twice before booking to any of these places?
Italy
Italy does not recognize any type of same-sex unions. Several regions have formally supported efforts for national law on civil unions and some municipalities have passed laws providing for civil unions. While some of these do provide real benefits they are mostly of symbolic value.
Australia
Anti-discrimination laws protect LGBT people in many areas of employment and service access, and same sex couples enjoy many of the same rights and benefits as non-same sex couples – with the notable exception of marriage.
China
No civil rights law exists to address discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. China recognizes neither same-sex marriage nor civil unions.
Japan
Same-sex couples and households headed by same-sex couples are ineligible for the legal protections available to opposite-sex couples. Although Japanese culture and major religions originated in and imported to Japan do not have a history of hostility towards homosexuality, Japanese citizens are reportedly divided on the issue of accepting homosexuality, with a recent poll indicating that 54 percent agreed that homosexuality should be accepted by society whilst 36 percent disagreed, with a big age gap.
Israel
Although same-sex marriages are not performed in the country, Israel recognizes same-sex marriages performed elsewhere.
Morocco
LGBT persons in Morocco face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents. Both male and female same-sex sexual activity is illegal in Morocco. Morocco’s statute and culture towards LGBT issues stands in stark contrast to neighboring Spain.
India
LGBT people in India face the danger of being imprisoned up to a lifetime because of their sexual orientation. Homosexual intercourse is a criminal offense under section 377 of the Indian Penal Code since 1860. Mental, physical, emotional and economic violence against the LGBT community in India prevails.
