A playful portmanteau of "holiday" and "gay," used to describe a vacation, trip, or festive event that has a distinctly LGBTQ+ character — whether that means a Pride cruise, a trip to a queer-friendly destination, or simply a getaway with a group of gay friends. Holigay has a breezy, celebratory energy and is used affectionately within LGBTQ+ communities. It also gets deployed as a cheerful holiday greeting during the Christmas season by queer people reclaiming the word on their own terms.
