I guess that it's all business . . . but not the type that hetero guys could be allowed to go for.

A lesbian landmark goes `all-welcome'

The Pearl's Rainbow guesthouse will allow male visitors -- a sign of the down economy but also a signal of the growing acceptance of female couples.


BY CAMMY CLARK

KEY WEST -- Guests lounge around the pool at Pearl's Rainbow, soaking up the sunshine and tropical vibes typical of a Southernmost guesthouse. Not a man is in sight -- and that's the way these vacationers like it.

But over this Thanksgiving weekend, Key West's only lesbian-exclusive resort is going "all welcome.''

The decision was made public about the same time Pearl's Rainbow was honored in October by Curve, the best-selling lesbian magazine, as the guesthouse that had the greatest impact on lesbian culture over the past 20 years.


Pearl's Rainbow's lesbian owner, Heather Carruthers, said it was a business decision based on tough economic realities, the request of some lesbian guests who would like to bring male family members or friends -- and on some good news. Lesbians are being more accepted and feel more comfortable in the mainstream these days.

``They can hold hands wherever they want to,'' Carruthers said. ``It's really the world we want to have. We don't necessarily want to be segregated.''

While I think that lesbianism is a tad more accepted now than it has been in the past, it's mainly--99%, I'd think--a business decision.

They are just trying to snatch as much money as they can.

Of course, this now means they'll be losing money in strap-on rentals.

Not if those male friends are of the DUmmie type men.
