For the past
23 years, Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend has been offering lesbians from all
over the world the opportunity to escape for five days from the rest of our
360-day life still spent for some of us in the closet, and provide us all the
freedom to be who we truly are - no matter what the size of our body, the
color of our skin, how old or young we are, or the tax bracket we belong to.
We come
together to share a common bond: we like girls and it’s ok! :)
Yet none of this universal unity, love and
solidarity would have been possible if it wasn't as well for the host city of
The Dinah Shore Weekend, namely the City of Palm Springs.
Whether it's your first time coming to The Dinah or not, discover America’s Great Gay Oasis in
the heart of Southern California!
With more than 26 LGBT Resorts,
multiple Gay
Bars, Gay
Restaurants, Gay Shopping
and over 330 days of sunshine, it’s no wonder Palm Springs is a perennial
favorite for gay and lesbian travelers!
In the 1930’s, Hollywood stars, movie moguls, and world leaders discovered sunny Palm Springs and made it their secret hideaway. And with them came the Gay boys and girls of the day to enjoy the pools, the weather, the cocktails, and the freedom to enjoy it all without the scrutiny of Hollywood’s cameras and gossip columnists.
In the 1950’s, yet another wave of Hollywood greats discovered Palm Springs. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, the Rat Pack, and even Lucy & Desi moved to Palm Springs. And again, their friends, the Gay boys and girls, joined them to sip martinis by the pools of their fabulous Mid-Century homes.
In the 1980’s, Gay Palm Springs exploded with
the opening of dozens of LGBT exclusive resorts and clubs. And today the
tradition continues with of course Club Skirts Dinah Shore Weekend, Gay Pride in November, and other LGBT related events all year
long.
Palm Springs ranks with Sitges, Mykonos,
Ibiza, Key West, and Provincetown as one of the world’s most famous Gay
destinations!
