Grindr is hitting the road on a big gay bus tour this month to celebrate Pride, stopping in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, New Orleans, Wilton Manors, Columbus, Chicago, Pittsburgh and New York. As part of the Grindr Rides America Tour, communities in cities along the route have identified top queer hotspots in those cities, and Grindr has compiled the results into the ultimate gay travel guide.

　　Grindr recently revealed its goal to create a Digital Gayborhood, connecting the LGBTQ+ community in cities around the world. A new feature called Roam allows users to temporarily place their profile in a new city ahead of a trip to chat with locals and form connections ahead of their arrival. Grindr believes that its users are the best source of travel information for the like-minded community. In surveying their community ahead of the big Tour, Grindr has revealed the LGBTQ+ friendly hotels, gyms, queer-owned businesses, and gay bars on the Tour route that users recommend the most.
