"Family friendly" has become the new code for "we don't want you people here."

The opposite of "family friendly" is "gay friendly," as in the recent story about a gay couple who went to a hotel touted as "gay friendly" by Expedia, only to be told that they weren't wanted because it is a "family" hotel.

As in, you're no part of our "family." As in, we're not comfortable with you, so why should we consider your comfort? Why should we have to adjust? We shun you. Get out.

In North Carolina, the Hanover Seaside Club forced out a long time member, whose family started the beach club, when she transitioned from male to female.
