    Hotel marketed to gay travelers to open in NYC

    NEW YORK (AP) — A hotel marketed specifically toward gay travelers is opening in the heart of New York City.

    The hotel will be called THE OUT NYC. It's being touted as a "straight-friendly" gay boutique resort.

    It's set to open March 1 in the Times Square area.

    Developer Ian Reisner says it will be a place where gay travelers "can feel 100 percent welcome."

    He's hoping gay couples will want to get married there.

    Reisner also hopes the 105-room hotel will become a center of gay life in the city.

        Straight friendly it says. Did you read the article? Much better than some hotels that aren't friendly to gay couples.

        Troy, Seawench must be one of those folks that do not bother reading the articles and go straight to the comments section.
      • steve 3 mths ago
        I believe it is already legal to discriminate against belligerent pigs Seawench. You'd be out the door before the Sherrif even arrived-am I right?.....oh, wait-you probably couldn't afford to check in to begin with!

      Why not market to gays. Their incomes are higher then that of straight people so they have more disposable income. If you don't believe me on the income just google it.
      • Ben H 3 mths ago
        Yes. Yes we do. LOTS of extra money and WE VOTE.
      • Bru 3 mths ago

    • B.I.G. Johnson  •  Denver, Colorado  •  3 mths ago
      Why not call it the "Double ender Inn"?
    • Plan A  •  3 mths ago
      Smells like vasaline and diapers.
    • Mike 2012  •  3 mths ago
      There'll be chocolates on all the pillows. Oops, sorry, that's not chocolate...
    • Bru  •  Troutdale, Oregon  •  3 mths ago
      just another money making scheme, but it tells of the turn towords them calling what is good, bad, and what is bad, good.
    • Bon Jo  •  3 mths ago
      Ten bucks says someone will get AIDS in that hotel.
    • Paul e  •  3 mths ago
      Good place for it.
    • Tommy  •  3 mths ago
      I suppose they will have a tub of vaseline on the nightstand and a cvm flavored mint on the pillow.
    • cantdrive85  •  Denver, Colorado  •  3 mths ago
      Will there be d|ldos in the nightstand instead of bibles?
    • 11  •  3 mths ago
