Iceland’s government is drafting plans to ban pornography, in print and online, in an attempt to protect children from a tide of violent sexual imagery.

Iceland’s second annual LGBT winter festival kicks off a year of pride with outdoor adventures, local tours and late-night parties.

The Rainbow Reykjavik program provides a colorful mixture of various events, including tours to see the Northern Lights, geysers, waterfalls and the Continental Divide, great meals and dance parties.

There is no better time than right now to book your trip to Iceland: the second annual international LGBT Festival will take place from 31 January - 03 February, 2013.

This very gay-friendly far-northern Atlantic island nation offers the perfect vacation, with some of the most incredible natural beauty on the planet, a warm populace & a surprisingly active capital city.

The Rainbow Reykjavik Event Team, including Pink Iceland (Iceland’s top tour operator dedicated to LGBT clientele) and Reykjavik Excursions, have put together an outstanding program for this International LGBT Festival 16-19. February, 2012.

According to Icelandic folklore, there are several magical traditions that are supposed to happen on New Year’s Eve: cows are thought to be able to talk, seals take on human form, the dead rise from their graves and elves move from one house to the next.

Have you always dreamed about seeing the Northern Lights? Walking along the Continental Divide between the tectonic plates of Europe and North America? Seeing geysirs, waterfalls and nature of unparalleled beauty?

Reykjavik Mayor Jón Gnarr wore a floral-print dress, a blonde wig and bright red lipstick when he opened his city’s annual Gay Pride celebration on Thursday, Aug. 5.

Nordic nations hardly noticed when Iceland’s prime minister, 67-year-old Johanna Sigurdardottir, tied the knot with her longtime partner - a milestone that would still, despite advances in gay rights, be all but inconceivable elsewhere.
