Call me a hater, but  I am not sure how  I feel about this. The Out NYC is a self proclaimed gay hotel that just launched. It boasts 105 rooms, 70,000 sq ft & 11,000 nightclub called XL & much more.  It's sleek and all (if you are into that template modern steel look), but conceptually it feels like a throwback to another era of identity politics. It's 2012.  This would have been revolutionary in the 1990's, but now it just seems like chasing the "gay dollar."  I suppose it will appeal to certain factions. On the other hand, maybe I am just a latent homophobe!
