Welcome to Attitude’s annual Travel issue. For moi, family holidays were almost always spent in Cyprus, visiting relatives. It wasn’t until I was 17 years old that I was allowed to vacation without parental figures. The destination my friends and I opted for? Benidorm. No joke. A seven-night stay in a below-average apartment for £225, including flights. At 17, that kind of money isn’t easy to come by, so you take what you can get. That experience has made every holiday destination since feel like Monaco.
Deeply in the closet at the time and holding a torch for my then best friend, after he hooked up with his latest female friend one night, I snuck off to a gay bar. Not having the courage to step through the door, I sat outside for 45 minutes before going back to the apartment and to bed. The following year, upgrading my holiday ambitions, I took a four-month internship at Marvel Comics in New York. It was during this visit to the Big Apple that I had my first homosexual experience.
