Avec Amoore Bakery is not Lgbtqia+ friendly. Any others?

Julieta, on August 8, 2022 at 4:12 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 6

Hello! My fiancée and I are planning a lesbian wedding and it's been difficult to find wedding vendors who confirm that they're LGBTQIA friendly.
As you know, for gay couples, who we hire and invite into our homes and events needs to be LGBT+ friendly as a matter of safety. We don't plan to get hate-crimed on our special day Smiley heart

Recently I asked Avec Amoore bakery 3 TIMES if they were LGBT+ friendly and they dodged to answer every single time. After requesting a firm answer, they said "We work to service everyone as we have availability, or connect them to a Colleague if we are not."

If it's not an explicit: YES! We're LGBT+ friendly, then it's a NO.

We understand vendors can choose to work with whomever they want.
So, I ask any of you who are also LGBT couples:
Smiley heart Which vendors you've worked with have been known to be supportive of LGBT? Smiley heart

Here's the amazing caterer we hired who expressed with joy he was LGBT+ friendly:

    Pridezillas.com is a good starting point for finding inclusive vendors.

    That's great, Lynnie! These people should not be rewarded with business if they are practicing bigotry and non-inclusiveness.

    Also I love the website name "Pridezillas".

    Welcome to Wedding Wire Julieta, this is a very inclusive place.

    I understand that but at the same time, I can’t commit more time out of my busy days to send emails and write down my experience again. I want to move forward and just focus on planning my wedding with LGBTQ+ friendly vendors.
    I would SUPER appreciate if there was some sort of badge vendors could have if they’re “LGBT+ Friendly vendor”. Even if every vendor has that badge, it would feel like a safer place and I would be nice to not have to ask every time I contact a vendor. Especially because I live in a red state and wedding vendors discriminate against gay couples ALL THE TIME.
    Thanks for the kind words!
