For many, Valentine's Day looked a little different this year. But, timed to this day of love and romance, the travel website Orbitz has teamed up with Jeff Perla of The Travelin Bum for a queer-centric campaign called "Orbuttz." The face? RuPaul's Drag Race's Jackie Cox. Out Magazine reported that Cox was selling a few nude photos to fans. Cox said "They reached out to me right after that story went up. They just asked if I would be the Face/Butt of Orbuttz." For the project, Perla gathered a group of LGBTQ+ influencers like Logan Fletcher, Cheyenne Parker, the Zakar twins, and Britni Thornton to take some ... peachy, Valentine's Day photos (Cox appeared in hers with Perla) and talk about where they might want to travel when the world opens up. As a part of the effort, Ortbiz also donated to the Stonewall Community Foundation.
Cox continued "I think what's cool about this campaign is for people to get the opportunity to start getting excited about the future. I think we're finally at that precipice of being able to travel again. But beyond that, I'm not going to lie, I was so disappointed to see so many companies pull out of supporting queer projects, queer creators, queer artists, queer entertainers without all the big fanfare of the Pride parades in cities around the globe," Cox continues. "So I thought it was really cool that Orbitz is taking a holiday like Valentine's day which really isn't especially queer — Valentine's Day is pretty hetero normative — and really taking and embracing it in a fun, queer way." Queer News Tonight congratulates Orbitz for this very cleavor embracement of our LGBTQ community and travel. Happening Out Television Network is launching a new LGBTQ Travel show and hosted by Fay What and David Hopkins.
