The Pride Flag, invented by San Francisco<\/a>-based artist\u00a0Gilbert Baker\u00a0in 1978, has become an iconic symbol for the LGBT community. Its bright flourish of rainbow colors\u00a0has been spotted on T-shirts, jewelry,\u00a0liquor bottles, signage, the Empire State Building\u00a0and even the White House. But what exactly do those colors mean? Aside from the fact that the original eight colors (since narrowed to six) point to the diversity of the community itself, each one has a meaning including sex (pink), life (red),\u00a0healing (orange), sunlight (yellow), nature (green), art\u00a0(blue), harmony (indigo) and spirit (violet). Here are 8 LGBT-friendly destinations to visit based on the Pride Flag’s original colors.<\/p>\n

RELATED:<\/strong>\u00a0The very best of gay Toronto<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Berlin,<\/center><\/p>\n

Pink (sex): Berlin<\/h2>\n

“I’m going to be a great big film star! That is if booze and sex don’t get me first.” So said, Sally Bowles, the fictional\u00a0nightlife entertainer from Cabaret<\/em> who is one of many characters seduced by a heady Berlin<\/a> during the ’30s. Nearly 100 years later this intoxicating city remains a potent metropolis in which to check your better judgement at the door and let your hair (all the way) down. Sex positivity is built into the city’s DNA, from a pulsating\u00a0EDM scene that is welcoming to visitors of all sexual orientations to fetish-friendly clubs featuring\u00a0“dark rooms” where bodies go bump in the night. Sch\u00f6neberg, in the West, has been a center for gay life for nearly 100 years and continues to be ground zero fornumerous bars, specialty shops and gay-oriented hotels like the Axel<\/a>. Meanwhile, in the fashionable East,\u00a0there are bars and saunas to visit in both\u00a0Kreuzberg and Prenzlauerberg including Lab.Oratory, a dungeon-like fetish venue underneath the wildly popular (and hard to get into) nightclub Berghain.
\n\"Sydney,<\/p>\n

Red (life): Sydney Australia<\/h2>\n

Does anyone live better than our Aussie friends? What is it about the land Down Under that encourages a laissez-faire attitude and the constant uttering of the phrase, “no worries, mate”?\u00a0Gorgeous Sydney<\/a> is a sprawling, beachfront metropolis that bear hugs its LGBT visitors upon arrival before pushing them toward numerous activities such as climbing the famous Harbour Bridge (which lit up with rainbow colors after the attacks in Orlando), idling around\u00a0queer-oriented Darlinghurst where the bars along Oxford Street swing all night and donning “sunnies” and “cossies”\u00a0at famous beaches like Bondi, Bronte and Manly where the surf’s always up and the eye candy is bewitching. Newtown, claims a more artsy queer crowd as does\u00a0Erskineville and Glebe but an inclusive joie de vivre rules throughout most of the city. Of course, timing is everything and most queer travelers hit the city in winter\u00a0to enjoy one of the greatest night parades on earth\u2014gay Sydney Mardi Gras!
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Orlando,<\/center><\/p>\n

Orange (healing): Orlando, FL<\/h2>\n

It’s an unfortunate irony that the so-called “Happiest Place on Earth” happens to be located in the same city that on June 12, 2016\u00a0was the site of the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. That the perpetrator of these crimes decided to\u00a0rage against revelers\u00a0at a\u00a0gay nightclub adds yet another layer of heartbreak for the LGBT community. But an outpouring of global grieving has helped spurn the healing process and we can’t imagine\u00a0a better way to honor the victims than to stand proudly with Orlando<\/a>.\u00a0Beyond thetheme parks, there are numerous ways to find kinship with the local queer community. Parliament Resort, a sprawling hotel complex boasting multiple nightlife venues, has been around for decades and has a large swimming pool to boot, while\u00a0the fellas queue up with singles in hand at bar Savoy or turn a stranger into a friend at low-key cruise bar Hank’s. But if it’s a visit to the Magic Kingdom you crave, we guarantee between both staff and visitors you’ll be among “family.”<\/p>\n

\"Palm<\/center><\/p>\n

Yellow (sunlight): Palm Springs, CA<\/h2>\n

Is the Dinah,\u00a0a five-day fest\u00a0aimed at queer women, the gayest week of the year in Palm Springs<\/a> or does that title belong to the guy-centric White Party? Either way, sun-drenched Palm Springs rules as a longtime gay mecca for folks in need of quick dose of vitamin D (the city enjoys 350 days of sunlight annually) coupled with a baked-in\u00a0tolerance for all and a recent infusion of Hollywood chic. Although the city is littered with several\u00a0dozen exclusively\u00a0LGBT resorts aimed at both men and women (but mostly men), you’ll find same-sex couples canoodling poolside at hotspots like the Saguaro<\/a>, the Parker<\/a> and the Ace Hotel<\/a>. Outdoor activities\u00a0are numerous including hiking around Tahquitz Canyon or in the San Jacinto Mountains (accessible via the convenient Aerial Tramway), but if the sun overwhelms, try hitting up the\u00a0Desert Hills Premium Outlet Malls, trying your luck at a\u00a0casino or sliding into a banquette at one of many cocktail bars around town where a midcentury vibe still rules.<\/p>\n

\"Kauai,<\/center><\/p>\n

Green (nature):\u00a0Hawaii<\/h2>\n

All destinations are not created equal and it’s true that some cater\u00a0more to gay men than lesbian women and vice versa. But the Aloha State\u00a0is the rare destination that attracts both menand women\u2014often same-sex couples\u2014in large\u00a0numbers and most of them have their\u00a0sights set firmly on a gay-friendly holiday\u00a0surrounded by some of the most magnificent scenery anywhere on earth. Stare down into the bowels of an active volcano, \u00a0say “I do” while being caressed from the gentle spray of a waterfall and come face to face with a pod of whales. In fact, the further you retreat from the resort areas, the better the state gets. Escape\u00a0the Big Island’s touristy Kona Coast by\u00a0night diving with manta rays or follow your bliss to a secluded beach in lush\u00a0Kauai. Maui Sunseeker<\/a> in Kihei welcomes men and women in equal numbers and features dreamy rooftop sunsets while Kalani<\/a>, in the Big Island’s Puna District, is a LGBT-focused wellness retreat focusing on workshops, yoga retreats and personal growth in a lush,\u00a0jungle setting.<\/p>\n

\"province<\/center><\/p>\n

Blue (art): Provincetown, MA<\/h2>\n

This teensy sliver of a town\u00a0at the very tip of Cape Cod is like a slice of queer heaven topped with bitter cold winters. Of course, everyone comes to this LGBT mecca during the warmers months when thecity is segmented into eventweeks devoted to every niche group the LGBT community has to offer including party boys, women of color, families, transgender folks, leather guys, bears, etc. But what most visitors probably aren’t thinking about when booking their stay at one of dozens of gay owned and operated bread and breakfasts and small inns is that\u00a0P-Town<\/a> is a hotbed of creativity. The city\u00a0boasts dozens of art galleries and you literally can’t swing a Pride Flag along bustling Commercial Street without hitting a drag queen or local actor handing out flyers to a live, theatrical performance happening that night. Adding to its already arty vibe is the fact that queer legends both past and present including Tennessee Williams, John Waters and Michael Cunningham and have all called P-Town home at one point or another.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Amsterdam\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Indigo (harmony): Amsterdam<\/h2>\n

The Dutch\u00a0basically pioneered the idea of tolerance. In fact, it was a hub of intellectual tolerance dating back to the 17th century resulting in it being a mecca for scientists and thinkers.\u00a0These days, the anything goes attitude extends to legalized prostitution, decriminalized drug\u00a0laws and LGBT freedom and nowhere is this more celebrated and embraced then in the swinging Dutch capital. A city ringed by bridges and canals, pretty Amsterdam<\/a> delights in a spirit of harmony that extends to visitors who find instant kinship with this city of avid bike riders (it helps that everyone speaks English). Top attractions include the Rijksmuseum, Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum, but there is so much more to this LGBT mecca including the Homomonument in the center of the city, several gay-owned hotels and literally dozens of gay bars. Seriously, Amsterdam is one of the gayest places on earth.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Cape<\/center><\/p>\n

Violet (human spirit): Cape Town, South Africa<\/h2>\n

Does any country\u00a0embody the resilience of the human spirit better than South Africa? After a decades long battle with the horrors of apartheid, South Africa\u00a0ratified a new constitution in 1994 and became the firstin the world to outlaw discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and would later go on to become the fifth in the world and the first in Africa to legalize same-sex marriage.\u00a0With Table Mountain as its backdrop, pretty Cape Town<\/a> is arguably the most gay-friendly destination in all of Africa boasting gay-oriented lodging like the Glen Boutique Hotel<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0nearly a dozen gay bars and ringed by nearby vineyards and stunning beaches\u2014where you can hang out with penguins!\u00a0
