Straights Welcome - But, Mind Your Manners.
That’s right, dear heterosexuals, you are welcome here! But before you start clutching your pearls (or awkwardly adjusting your khakis), let’s lay down a few ground rules.
We are a travel company by queers, for queers. Every itinerary, every partnership, every shimmering moment of unfiltered joy is designed with LGBTQ+ travelers in mind. We don’t just ‘welcome diversity’—we are diversity. And while we may not fully grasp certain straight customs (gender reveals? The persistent allure of beige? The belief that “no homo” is a normal thing to say?), we acknowledge that straight people, too, deserve lovely things.
So if you, dear straight traveler, have found yourself in our fabulous corner of the internet, we extend a warm welcome—with just one simple rule:
Don’t. Be. An. Asshole.
A low bar, truly! But to ensure a smooth and splendid journey, here’s what that means:
✅ Respect that this is a queer-centered space.
You are a guest, not the main character. Think of yourself as a supporting role in the ensemble cast—like a charming best friend, but with fewer opinions on why “both sides” have valid points.
✅ No invasive curiosities.
That means no, “Who’s the real man in the relationship?” No, “But if you don’t have a penis, how do you…?” And absolutely no, “Wait, so you’re nonbinary—does that mean you use all the bathrooms?” (Fun fact: No one has ever died from minding their own business.)
✅ No lamenting the lack of ‘Straight Pride.’
Sweetheart, your entire existence has been the default setting since the dawn of civilization. The world has already thrown you a parade; it’s called history.
✅ We are not your personal Diversity Experience™.
We exist for ourselves, not to provide you with a quirky subplot in your vacation montage. If your idea of allyship involves getting a selfie with us to prove how open-minded you are, you’ve deeply misunderstood the assignment.
Because here’s the thing—sometimes, straight people get flustered when confronted with too much unfiltered queer joy. They furrow their brows. They lean in, concerned, and whisper things like, “I just don’t get why everything has to be about labels these days.” They wonder aloud if we really need so many flags. They offer up their one gay cousin as proof that they “totally get it.”
And yet, somehow, we are expected to nod along politely, to reassure them, to make sure they feel comfortable—even as they shove their own heteronormative customs down our throats. (See: every rom-com, every wedding speech, every time someone says “you’ll change your mind” about having kids.)
But if you’re the kind of straight person who understands that inclusion isn’t exclusion, who can revel in a bit of fabulousness without spiraling into an identity crisis, and who knows how to share space with respect and grace—darling, we are positively thrilled to have you.
At Dandy Travel Society, travel is about community, adventure, and unapologetic self-expression. We welcome all who honor that spirit. What we don’t have time for? Homophobia, transphobia, performative allyship, or whatever it is straight men call it when they’re afraid of looking like they’re having too much fun.
So, welcome aboard, dear straights! We embrace you with open arms, a knowing smirk, and just a touch of playful side-eye.
