(Out) On the Road: The Radical Joy of Queer Travel by Lindsey Danis
Ig Publishing, May 2026
Queer people hold passports at twice the rate of the general population and collectively spend around $100 billion a year on travel—yet remain one of the most underserved groups in the travel industry. A new book aims to change that.
(Out) On the Road by LGBTQ+ travel writer Lindsey Danis is the comprehensive, by-us-for-us guide that queer travelers have been waiting for.
“LGBTQ+ travelers are a growing demographic. They are passionate about travel and willing to spend money on it. Yet time and again, they are ignored or told to stick to a handful of ‘safe’ destinations. This advice fails to build their confidence, validate their identities, or teach them how to advocate for themselves,” says Danis.
(Out) On the Road challenges that conventional wisdom head-on. Drawing on decades of personal travel and eight years as an LGBTQ+ travel writer for publications including AFAR and GayCities, Danis covers everything from navigating safety to funding travel to finding support and connection on the road. Readers will discover how to face their fears, expand their comfort zones, plan affirming adventures — both in the US and internationally — and return home transformed.
