I totally agree with this assessment. I get the sense that gay owned establishments believe we should patron their businesses just because they are gay... and I do not agree with that. I still expect to get value for my "rainbow dollar". But, as long as people continue to pay the high market markup just because a place is gay owned... I doubt things will never change.

Using Hotwire or Priceline is a great way to get the bang for your dollar. One hotel that I truly enjoy... and they are very supportive of the GLBT community is the Kimpton brand. I have never been disappointed with them.
