What are the best spring break destinations for gay and lesbian travelers?

By Andrew Collins, About.com Guide

Florida has plenty of superb gay spring break possibilities beyond the charming resort town of Key West (see above). Fabulous Fort Lauderdale was the state's original Spring Break party hub before the city classed things up in the 1990s, but it remains popular with students in March, thanks to the wealth of gay resorts and bars. Miami holds its famed gay Winter Party Festival in early March, Orlando has Walt Disney World and myriad other theme parks, and St. Petersburg enjoys a lively gay scene and offers solid value both in terms of places to stay, cheap flights, and inexpensive dining.
