I agree.
We go to breakfast almost every Sunday. There is place we love to go, Byways Cafe...they have some delicious food. It is Queer owned AND it has great blue corn pancakes .
If it was Queer owned and had mediocre food, I would not go out of my way to spend money there.
In fact, there is a well known Lesbian bar here in town that is popular, partially because it is the only official Lesbian bar in town, and partially because they have a variety of events. Some of which I attend.
However, up until recently, they allowed smoking inside and I could not stand it. Also, it is not the cleanest place...and the staff are not always that nice.
It has been a bit better the last few times I was there...maybe they got the hint.
But if I have the choice to go there or another bar in town....it is rarely on my list.
