Guys, I used the link for the not-quite-yet-existant hotel in Samana, but I didn't see th page you were talking about, where the poor grammar referenced 'young boys looking for protection.' That's funny, but where is it at?
The resort in Islabon apparently advertises itself as 'gay friendly' on gay sites, but has a whole parallel set of web sites and advertisments that doesn't mention that aspect of their clientele or accomodations which I always found to be quite amusing. The place is near some friends of mine in Islabon and they had no idea it advertised that way, nor did I, until checking out some gay travel sites from links included in another thread from about six months ago.
And, Pam, anything like the 'Parliment House' in Orlando would never fly here I don't think. I went there once a few years ago whil in Orlando and that's just too out there! Wild place. Funny, I never expected you to know where that was! A lot of the younger crowd likes to play, but they don't want their friends to know even if their friends are doing the same things. So I wish the place luck if they ever get it built, but it's going to have to be a different animal than what you'd find elsewhere.
