Good travel guide - Wash DC should get off PC bandwagon
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Overall Collins' travel guides are good for quick lookups of gay/gay friendly spots. And he gives HIS OWN OPINION on these places - whether describing them as "seedy", or "uneven", or "mostly old drunks", these are his opinions and his takes on the places he's reviewed. The reader from DC needs to get off the gay PC bandwagon and realize, as an author, Collins books are not objective, and he plainly states so in the introduction. Don't like his take on a place? Then hop on the barstool with your name on it, pal.
