Caribbean resort pitches for gay honeymoons with 'queen' freebie


A resort on the tiny island of Saba, whose tourist board dubs it the "Unspoiled Queen" of the Caribbean, is hoping to cash in on the gay honeymoon business when New York legalizes gay marriage. And the way it's doing it is by offering a wedding present in the form of a free night.

Lots of destinations and hotels have pitched themselves as perfect honeymoon spots for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender couples. But Saba's Queen's Gardens Resort is pulling out all the stops.

Its "Queen of New York Hearts" honeymoon special offers a free night and a free breakfast in bed at the luxury resort to any newlyweds with a New York marriage certificate. The offer is valid through Dec. 15, and certificates must be dated on or after July 24, when the new marriage law is scheduled to take effect. And a couple must stay at least four nights.

No discrimination here: Hetero newlyweds are welcome, too.

Meanwhile, the Las Vegas Sun and Associated Press recently reported that Sin City's Convention and Visitors Authority is looking into whether it will market itself as a gay honeymoon destination.
