From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Spartacus International Gay Guide
is an international gay travel guidebook published annually since
1970, originally by John D. Stamford, currently by Bruno Gmünder Verlag in Berlin, Germany.
Content
The guide is arranged alphabetically by country and offers short
texts in English, German, French, Spanish, and Italian about each
one. Cities that are major gay travel destinations are also
described. Each country section includes a summary of current laws
about homosexuality in each country. The majority of the book's
contents are listings for institutions which cater to gay tourists
or which gay travelers may find interesting, such as bars, hotels, gay saunas,
beaches, support
groups, and AIDS hotlines. These listings are arranged by city
within each country. Recent editions have been over 1200 pages,
with information for approximately 22,000 businesses in 160
countries.
The criteria for which businesses to include in the listings
differ from country to country. In a country or city with a large
number of businesses catering specifically to gay customers, only
those – or even only the most noteworthy – are included; in a
country where such businesses are uncommon, those which cater to a
general clientele but are "gay friendly" are included.
