NEW YORK - New York state is making a pitch for gay visitors with a new "I Love NY LGBT" tourism website.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the campaign Saturday as lesbian and gay New Yorkers celebrated pride weekend.
Cuomo said the website, http://www.iloveny.com/lgbt, will help lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender travelers plan their vacations by suggesting must-see destinations.
The website will offer lists of LGBT events and resources throughout the state
New York is also promoting itself as a same-sex wedding destination since the state legalized gay marriage in 2011.
The new tourism campaign will be represented by the familiar "I Love NY" logo with a rainbow-colored heart.
