I agree the "gay tax" at gay specific longings is annoying and increasingly easy to avoid at gay welcoming competitors . Lodge ownersl say it's because the cost to acquire new gay customers is higher (we are harder to find and our media less efficient).

My general experience is that the Gay B&Bs aren't keeping pace on quality. It's too bad for if they aren't as good and more expensive they will be a relic except for some of the few viable resort properties and they really can serve a purpose. (building up small gay owned businesses, building community, increasing positive experiences between out people and our straight neighbors etc.)
