G Worldwide set to launch opening of 5 LGBT-oriented hotels

To me, this just seems like a way to further segregate gay and straight people.  Sure, it is a huge market, but why should there be special hotels for gay people?  There aren't special hotels for different races, so why should there be hotels specifically for different sexual orientations?  It just seems unfair to me.

You have established great anticipation and expectation for G Resorts, Fort Lauderdale. Now, comes the tough part, deliver. Should you may want to test your strategy with someone in the local community who was part of the development team on a dozen hotel projects, nearly 10,000 rooms, let me know. We would like to see this happen but as you know, there is a long road ahead.       

I've just spent the better part of an hour online trying to find some information about exactly who G Resorts Worldwide is....to no avail. It would almost seem that it's a closely guarded secret as to what their corporate structure is, where they are located (no address or phone given on their website), etc. Kind of makes me curious....Wouldn't it be interesting if this was some religious corporation tapping into the gay market? Hell knows, the church loves money!

At first John Blair, the successful promoter in the past of Limelight and Roxy was involved with 508 W. 42 nd Street with Gay Lobbyist and Democratic Party guy Ethan Geto and his partner and there was lots of publicity about pushing for a variance for a disco at 508 W. 42nd, then, NOTHING. Even though Community Board 4 is not only "gay friendly" but dominated by gays, albeit all long in the tooth, it appears they killed the dance idea. Now instead of New York prominent former elected public official Dean Tanalis in Wilton Manors and Ft. Lauderdale has been retained, first to buy a trailer park, now to buy an alternative sight. The whole thing, in this market sounds nonsense. The gay bars from Key West to West Palm Beach are dying, just as in New York, there are no real discos anywhere in Southeastern Florida because of real estate development and additional governmental taxes and regulations, and yes, yuppie and old foggy neighborhood associations. In the Manor, run by well established promoters can't make it big in a smaller space, how can a larger space do well. Since 2004 gay bars, discos, and other businesses have lost nearly 70% of their volumn and customers. The idea of two guys with no previous experience entering a business during a recession dumb. Yes, I know in Philly some new money is going into a guy venue, but Philly also has declined, the circuit party called Blue Ball for Heavens' sakes doesn't even have e-mails or a website that works anymore. Why do you think US gay disco promoters are working in Rome, Amsterdam, and Berlin? Because the USA's gay nightclub business is dead because of internet dating. Ask any male under 40, or under 30, who before 2000 would go out clubbing, what do they do now, they troll the internet for hookups. This gay resort either in New York or Wilton Manors is a sham or a scam or worse.
