Airbnb, Love is Welcome Here
This spot features several couples talking about their love, including two lesbian couples (one with a son), a couple that includes a trans man, and three gay male couples. The lesbian couple talk about their upcoming marriage, and the challenges in planning a honeymoon "as a queer couple."
"Traveling as a gay couple, some countries are less friendly than others," agrees the male couple.
The trans man says that that he and his girlfriend "pass as a straight couple."
"If people knew that I was trans, that we were queer, would these people talk to us? Would they be kind to us?"
The lesbian mom says, "You never want to come across a situation, where you’re with your child and you’re going to deny you’re a family or pretend like you’re a mother and an aunt."
"Travel breaks down barriers," says one of the older couple, "because people see you. You’re no longer a mystery."
A spokesperson for AirBnB told Gay Star Business, "At Airbnb, we believe in celebrating pride, diversity, and creating a world where people can belong anywhere. Diversity is at the heart of our host community – and our LGBT host community highlights the unique and original flavor of different cultures across the world."
