Jet De La Isla

Right now, I’m swaying in a bright red hammock aboard Virgin Voyages in my sea view cabin, somewhere between the whitewashed islands of Greece and the ancient sands of Turkey. It’s the Atlantis Mediterranean Cruise of 2025—a ten-day floating festival of men, martinis, and midlife revelations.

An update from the Puerto Vallarta Gays Facebook group founder Jet De La Isla, who says the "show must go on."

If there’s one thing gay men love, it’s a good Mexican sausage—and Salchidogo delivers. Created by Puerto Vallarta locals and gay friends Brian Scott Carey and Phillip Weir, along with their talented ally, Chef Juanse, this new spot is a playful twist on the classic hot dog spot. And let me tell you: if I ever had to recommend another man’s hot dog, these are the ones.

On March 13, 2025, a pivotal meeting was convened in Puerto Vallarta, bringing together key figures such as Chief Llanas of the municipal police, Regidora Melissa Madero, and community leaders including Don Pickens of Casa Cupula and the Vallarta Gay+ Community Group. The primary objective was to address reports of police misconduct and to strengthen the relationship between law enforcement and the LGBTQ+ community.

Way to make a splash, Puerto Vallarta. One day, you're at the top of your game, ruling your ownlittle corner of the internet, and the next—poof! The empire crumbles. Old Facebook down, new cult has risen. But let’s be honest, my love life lately has felt just as unpredictable as a social media algorithm change.

Waking up every morning in Puerto Vallarta, in true Leo fashion, I take a long look at myself—nude as I was born, nude as I play. My bronzed skin, inked tattoos, blonde hair, and strong body are a reflection of years of growth. At 39 years old, for the first time, I can look in the mirror and not wince. I see power. I see beauty. I see me. But it wasn’t always this way.
