How we earn money, why it never costs you extra, and how we choose partners.
accentThe Queer Route is a free resource for LGBTQ+ travelers, and we use affiliate links to help fund the guides, app, and community work we do. This page explains exactly what that means.
An affiliate link is a special URL that tracks when someone clicks from our site and makes a purchase or booking on a partner's site. If you buy something after clicking one of our links, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
In compliance with IAB guidelines, some content on this site is monetized through affiliate marketing. Learn more at paidforadvertising.com.
We only partner with services we believe are genuinely useful to LGBTQ+ travelers. As we add more partners (hotels, experiences, transportation), we will list them here.
Affiliate relationships do not influence what we write about, which venues we feature, or how we rank them. Our city guides, bar lists, and blog posts are written for the community first. Commissions are a bonus, not a decision-maker.
Affiliate links on The Queer Route are marked with rel="sponsored" and include a clear disclosure near the link, such as "Affiliate link — supports the guides."
