If it isn't the sunny weather or sandy beaches drawing gay tourists to the gay friendly mecca of Fort Lauderdale, it must be the astounding number of gay bed & breakfasts, bars, and restaurants. It seems like everybody's flocking to this part of South Florida to take advantage of the ideal weather, beautiful attractions and easy lifestyle.

The city has quickly evolved into one of America's premier gay resorts, and it's no wonder.

Lauderdale is affordable while offering plenty of eye candy.
