no like when I say any answer on the queerest city poll that’s not San Fran is wrong I mean it is factually and historically WRONG
#just. look at the history of lgbt rights and major events in queer history in the us#and I’m telling you it is. in fact. dominated by San Francisco#the other cities that contend for the most part are major us cities that contend simply because they are big and/or heavily populated#like yeah obviously dense cities are going to have a higher number of people in various demographics. im thinking mostly about nyc and#Chicago here for the most part#San Fran is not big. it’s dense but not nearly an nyc level population especially historically.#it’s very unique for having been a safehaven for queers for a long time in comparison to the rest of the country#now I am not. by any means. defending it on every front. or considering it superior in any other way basically. I am SOLELY talking about#it’s unrivaled huge and powerful and long-standing queer community#it is- in the present day- literally almost impossible to live in San Francisco. period. it is absurdly expensive.#it’s homelessness situation especially due to the insane cost of living and there takeover of tech companies and so on#is horrific and for no damn reason (the city has enough money to house people Easily through at LEAST the heavy tourism)#the queer COMMUNITY there is what’s important and it’s history of demanding rights and generally flourishing through their own efforts#anyway idk why I felt the need to ramble about this#actually yes I do it’s becuase I think a lot of younger queer people (or queer people who grew up in isolated or conservative areas don’t#know the history associated with San Francisco and why people regard it as being so fundamentally queer#like the fact that portland is in second on that poll- and this is coming from someone who likes portland overall- is so weird to me#it’s a very progressive place but boy it ain’t got the influence and history that San Fran- or even New York or chicago- have#again it’s hard to compare those big big cities to anything but nonetheless#tangential but. sacramento is also a queer-dense city and though we are small and not nearly as flashy as the other contenders it’s worth#noting I think for being more of a safehaven than people tend to think about#anyway. that’s nothing I just had to represent for a second#kibumblabs

Golden Triangle Tour: The Golden Triangle of India is a tourist circuit in India.
The tourism footprint in India is growing, and it's no surprise that the densest concentrations of these footprints are in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. If you calculated the shortest distance between these three points, you'd get an imaginary triangle in the middle of the country. As a result, it's known as the Golden Triangle. Are you visiting India for the first time? Most tour operators, including Travelogy India, recommend the Golden Triangle for an India 101 experience. The following are the top recommended Golden Triangle Tour packages
Golden triangle tour 3 Days
Golden triangle tour 4 Days
Golden triangle tour 6 Days
What is Golden Triangle Tour?
It is one among modern India's well-trodden and well-explored paths. The schedule for the Golden Triangle includes trips in Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur. The journey includes famous Indian architectural wonders, Rajasthan sites, and natural wonders. Begin your tour by exploring Delhi. Visit the Jama Masjid, Red Fort, Humayun Tomb, Lodi Garden, and other Mughal-era structures built of red sandstone and marble. Later, go to Agra to witness the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, and other sights. Later, go to the Rajasthan desert region to visit the imperial city of Jaipur, which features palaces, forts, the Jantar Mantar, markets, and much more.
What to do in the Golden Triangle?
So, what's so great about three random locations that form an imagined triangle? On the map, it is simple to select four locations and form a square. Would that make the square more interesting? Not always. Furthermore, the Golden Triangle is not just three random sites that are famous for the form their locations make on a map. What's inside those destinations is what makes the Golden Triangle spectacular.
Delhi - Infusing exquisiteness into Islamic life
Walk through the streets of Old Delhi to enter a virtual time machine and travel back several centuries. The old havelis, market squares, and cobblestone alleys live up to the title "Old." What else can Delhi offer you besides some ancient monuments? Because Delhi is the country's capital, it is connected to nearly all of the country's locations. Within Delhi, you may experience the culture of the entire country, whether it's through performance arts, cuisine, festivals, or shopping.
Agra - The Mughal, Marble, and Marvel Capital
The Taj Mahal, a polished marble mausoleum known for its carvings, structural beauty, and use of semi-precious stones in construction, is the crown gem of all Indian architecture. Once you've finished photographing the Taj Mahal and have filled your memory disc, it's time to move on to other elite Mughal landmarks such as Agra Fort, Baby Taj, Akbar's Tomb, and many more. Fatehpur Sikhri, the abandoned capital city of the Mughal Empire, is another reminder of the Mughal Empire.
Jaipur is a fortified city with hidden temples.
This is a fortified city. Starting at City Palace, you can go on a history walking tour of palaces and forts. The craggy terrain of Aravalli hills with a hint of desert view provides this place a majestic appearance. Immerse yourself in Jaipur's attractions such as Amber Fort, Nahargarh Fort, Shri Jagatshironmani Temple, City Palace, Jantar Mantar, Hawa Mahal, and many more.

Rules are Rules
The US Army transport ship USS Mount Vernon (ID-4508) was originally the huge German passenger liner S.S. Kronprinzesin Cecilie, built in Stettin, Germany, in 1906. As a US Army ship she had an eventful history including a humorous event at Mare Island Naval Shipyard.
When World War I broke out in 1914 the S.S. Kronprinzesin Cecilie and 113 Austrian and German merchant vessels sought shelter in US Ports from the English and French fleets who would have hunted them down and sunk them. Those ships sat unused until the US entered the war in 1917 at which time they were all seized in a coordinated action. Aware of the pending seizure, all the ships were sabotaged by their crews on orders from the German High Command to prevent their use against Germany. It did not work, even though the S.S. Kronprinzesin Cecilie’s huge cast cylinders for her steam engines were smashed, US naval personnel pioneered a process to weld repair the castings returning her and others like her to service much quicker than the German’s anticipated. Together with other US flag ships, they carried two million American servicemen to France leading to the defeat of the Germans by Allied Forces.
The Mount Vernon made the first of nine trips across the Atlantic, hauling troops to and from the battlefields in October of 1917. Then one year later Mount Vernon was headed for the US with a load of wounded soldiers. 200 miles off the French port of Brest gun crews sighted a submarine periscope. It was too late to take evasive action as a torpedo slammed into her side and water began rushing in. The captain reversed course and personnel manned lifeboats to abandon ship if necessary as he steamed back towards Brest with damage control parties fighting the flooding. She made it to safety and was quickly repaired and put back in service. Then in 1919 with war over she was sent out to the Pacific.
On 17 October 1919 Mount Vernon was transferred to operation by the Army Transport Service where the ship was assigned to the Army's Pacific fleet based at Fort Mason in San Francisco. She steamed through the Panama Canal and into San Francisco Bay on Monday, November 10, 1919. At 706 ft long and 32,000 tons displacement she was the largest ship ever to transit the canal or sail into San Francisco Bay. Her mission was to sail to Vladivostok, Russia to return US troops and repatriate German prisoners of war and Czechoslovak troops who had been fighting the Russian Bolsheviks. But before she headed to Russia, she went to Mare Island for repairs. The process for ships heading to the shipyard was for the Mare Island Pilot to board the ship out in the Carquinez Straits and guide it to the pier through the narrow channel in the Mare Island Straits. No doubt the pilot was looking forward to the opportunity to guide this massive ship up the waterway. People would talk about it for years, and they did, but probably not for the reasons he supposed.
When the massive ship arrived off the Mare Island Straits her Army Captain did not pause as expected and, instead, he proceeded up the Strait to a position opposite the shipyard. Alarmed by the sudden appearance of the huge ship, Mare Island officials radioed her advising the captain that he was not authorized to proceed up the channel without the Mare Island pilot on board. In response, the Army Captain swung the giant ship around and sailed back down the channel to await the pilot out in the Carquinez Straits. Once the Mare Island pilot was on the bridge of the Mount Vernon, she then proceeded yet again up the straits to the shipyard. Fortunately for the pilot, the trip was as uneventful as the first or he never would have heard the end of it (he probably never did anyway).
