GayCities Launches Answers

New feature enables gays and lesbians to tap into the wisdom of the community to provide answers to everyday questions

San Francisco, CA, August 3, 2011 -- GayCities--the largest community-driven gay and lesbian city guide and travel site in the world--today announced the launch of GayCities Answers, a Q & A feature in which members share their knowledge about their home towns and everywhere they travel.

The LGBT community now has an easier way to share knowledge and insider tips with other locals and travelers. GayCities Answers allows members to ask and answer each other’s questions ranging from “What’s the best twitter food truck in San Francisco?” to “Where should I go for wine tasting - Napa or Sonoma?” to “What’s the best agenda for a bachelor party in New York City?”

"The launch of Answers takes us another step closer to harnessing word-of-mouth online," says Scott Gatz, founder and CEO of GayCities. "We are unlocking the knowledge within the gay community - from finding the best burrito to deciding between volunteer opportunities. GayCities answers is a powerful tool to connect LGBT people in a way that’s not been done in the gay and lesbian market.”

Hyatt Hotels and Absolut Vodka are the first sponsors of GayCities Answers. As part of the launch, Hyatt will tap their concierges around the country to ask and answer questions about the best places, events and experiences in select domestic markets. The Absolut SF campaign partnered with GayCities Answers to engage customers around the best night out in San Francisco.
