Gay friendly timeshare resorts

also consider locations like San Fran

I don't really care about the alt. lifestyle aspect, but I've found San Fran is impossible to get. My Key West week is certainly a "tiger trader" but so far no luck. II never spits back any availability. Is SFO one of those places you just have to request, waitlist and pray?

Because he sent me a PM making one of his smart aleck comments, and he referenced this thread. He has sent me several rude PM's using several different names. He has used vacationdude, eric c, and now just plain old eric. I feel sure he will PM me again in the future with a new "guest name". He either loves me or hates me, but either way he loves to send me private messages.

Is "he" married to gin gin?

I don't know who gin gin is, and by "he" do you mean that eric is a woman?

Wow, this thread sure took a strange turn. I have no idea what's going on!

Of course, that's not unusual for me. lol

Are you in II or RCI? I think RCI has more San Fran availability than Interval does.

A few years ago I got an excellent trade to SF (Xmas week at the Donatello) thru DAE. At the time, they seemed to get frequent deposits, relatively - don't know whether that's still the case. You can request first with them, and since you can also do that with II, you could give your week to whoever gets you the exchange first.

SFX definitely gets more exchanges into San Francisco than the big companies. (It's in their name--the San Francisco Exchange Company!) If you have a week they will accept, give them a try.

Not so worried about the TS itself...but the larger community

I would not be so worried about the TS itself but the larger community in which the TS is located. For instance, Escapes in Alabama might be just fine towards gay people, but the great majority of people in Orange Beach/Gulf Shores Alabama are not very accomodating to Gay people.

Whereas, in KW nobody cares if a person is gay or not....

Some locations LGBT travels need to be more careful than others. Jamaica is VERY antigay and I would not recommend it to any LGBT members!

Sorry, gin-gin was a long term member here a few years back who was banned for similar behavior.

I am sure there have been many more situations where heterosexual men have "hit on" female resort staff

May well be, but the board never heard complaints about those, if they happened.

So, how hard is it to slide past a TUG-BBS ban ?

I mean, can't anyone just change Internet companies & pick a new user name, then sign up all over again via some totally new made-up identity ?

Not exactly rocket surgery, eh ?

Alan,

While it is possible to get around a BBS ban here at TUG, we have ways of detecting those who do so. However, it's a hassle for those of us who volunteer our time to help keep TUG a pleasant and informative place to visit on the web.

I'm not sure what the point of your post is. Are you trying to encourage people to create more bogus screen names, post more antagonizing topics, and create more work for the volunteers? Posts like this are not only completely off the topic of the thread, they are not helpful.

If you have something to contribute regarding the topic of gay friendly timeshares, then please don't hesitate to post it in this thread. If you have further questions about the workings of the BBS, please contact me or one of the other volunteers via private message.

Nobody's Perfect.

I'm not sure what the point of your post is.

Just wondering whether banning folks has any lasting effect.

As for me, I try to play by the rules & not ruffle any feathers needlessly.

Sometimes that works out, sometimes it doesn't.

So it goes.

There's several of us holding our breath, waiting for Alan's reply post on this matter...

You should use SFX, San Francisco Exchange Company, for your trade to San Francisco. It was about the only thing I could get through them, after requesting Maui for a huge span of time, which they couldn't do for me. Now I have a wasted Platinum Membership, but hey, if I want San Francisco, they're the best.
