While all bed and  breakfast establishments should be open to gay and lesbian guests it is a fact of human nature that some people, because of their religious beliefs or their upbringing are not tolerant of others. This same kind intolerance may be directed toward people of different races, religions, ethnic origins or even accents in the way they speak.

By the nature of a bed and breakfast, being such an intimate form of lodging, the guests and the hosts are in close contact. Prejudice is much more discomforting in such a situation that it would be in a large hotel where the guest may never even see the hotel manager during their entire stay.

Some bed and breakfast inns are intended for gay or lesbian guests rather than being host to both. Many are located near other gay-oriented establishments, such as gay bars or pubs, nightclubs, bathhouses, restaurants, bookstores, etc.  Many are owned and operated by gay or lesbian innkeepers.

If you are particularly interested in a bed and breakfast inn that is intended for gay or lesbian guests rather than merely accepting them, use the words  "gay" or "lesbian"  as key words in our search engine when you look for an inn.
