Tokyo Olympics’ LGBT Athletes

August 8, 2021 by Philip Sheldon

olympic blog by Phil

Watching the Tokyo Olympics brings a range of emotions. First, there is the fascination of watching the world’s best athletes. (I especially enjoy gymnastics, diving, and cycling.)

The more complex emotion is who to cheer for. As an American, I identify with the success of my fellow Americans. But I have lived in and led many tours to Japan and China. Over 100 other countries have warmly welcomed me and our travelers, so I have so many athletes to cheer on!

Tribute to HE Travel Founder Hanns Ebensten

Hanns Ebensten Tribute Blog HE Travel Worldwide Gay Adventure and Cultural Travel Tours

As I start my 21st year as the owner of HE Travel, I would like to pay homage to our heritage. A look back at the history of HE Travel must start with Hanns Ebensten, who founded Hanns Ebensten Travel and ran the first gay tour in 1973, down the Grand Canyon.
