Cruising and Touring Alaska – A Primer on Gay Commute in America's Last Frontier
I recently returned from my second trip to America's largest and least populated (by density) state, Alaska. These facts aren't a big surprise to most people, but sometimes it's difficult to grasp the state's sheer dimensions – for example, Alaska is about 15 times bigger than Pennsylvania, but Pennsylvania has 17 times the number of residents. Beyond coming up with startling (and geographically geeky) trivia facts like these, it's difficult to describe Alaska's terrain and scenery without resorting to trite superlatives.
It's truly a country you need to attend to even begin to comprehend. The leading highlights for most visitors are up-close views of huge glaciers (dozens of them in some areas), a fascinating array of wildlife and North America's extreme peak (20,foot Mt.

Boone - Tootsie is wrongHey guy, I have never had any problems being same-sex attracted in Alaska - Homer, Dutch Harbor, Cold Bay, St. Paul, Adak, etc I dated a Police Chief, fishing Captain and a Coast Guard hottie Tootsie is wrong my friend - she may have lost her Eskimo because she is not so good with a tootsie pop
Just kidding Tootsie! Anyway, Alaska does take some caution that is similar to anywhere but the remoteness of where you are talking endures a superb sense of community. No one will bother you - even if you are presumed gay - you will be fine.
