California state tourism officials are expected to release a list of gay-friendly destinations around the state before June 17. And in Palm Springs, which labels itself “America’s Gay Oasis” on its tourism Web site, officials were meeting with hoteliers, restaurant owners and pastors this week to “map out our strategies and opportunities,” said Mary Jo Ginther, the city’s director of tourism.
“With this ruling and the fact that we are a favorite destination for the gay travelers, it’s synergy,” Ms. Ginther said. “It all adds up in a big way for Palm Springs.”

Hey, anything for a buck.
