I've started a map showing GLBT Locations - OpenGayMap.Info. I use tags as described here: osm.wiki/Proposed_features/Visitors_orientation
I would appreciate some hints, comments, critics and contributions.

Seems counterproductive. As a bisexual man, I tend to find the thought of "separate but equal" establishments to be somewhere between counterproductive and offensive. Counterproductive because it encourages GLBT folks to be subjugated by the heteronormative mainstream. Offensive because it promotes the idea that sexual orientation is a lifestyle in and of itself (for some, of course, it is; it's called nymphomania, and there's help for that regardless of orientation). Coincidentally, I find "pride" events to be not only offensive, but intentionally offensive by design. Sexuality isn't a lifestyle, it's a facet of a complete, healthy lifestyle.
I can't stop you from using such tags. But I believe doing so is an attempt to snatch bigotry from the jaws of acceptance.
