How to build a house for Gays?

I own a home building company. My company was just contacted to build a house for a gay couple. Normally the "gay" part would be meaningless as far as my job. The problem occurs because this couple said they want a "gay house", and want it equipped with all the "gay accessories".

Ummmmmm, what the "F" is all of this? I thought gays lived in the same kind of houses as normal people. And what are these accessories and what are they used for?

Aside from pink siding, I can't imagine what else to do to the house to make it look gay. other than putting a c*ck weather vane on the house, and I dont mean a rooster.

His and his towel racks. (joking)

(without being gay, "..not that there is anything wrong with that" - Seinfeld) Separate bathroom sinks, large closets (possibly separated also) w/ shoe racks. Probably be more of a open, trendy decor (possibly pastel color shades).

I'd start with all the special requests couples usually get into arguments over.

Interesting post.

Ask them to "show you" exactly how they want it?

(O.K., bad, unethical, homophobic, Un-PC, bad-attempt-at-humor here):

You could turn all the barstools up-side down...

In all seriousness:

Not sure what they mean either, but I'm sure when you are done it must look

FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!

If this isn't a real question, it sure could be. I have seen at least one article in home-decorating magazines about a reno for a two-man household.

Picture a two-income *childless* couple who do a lot of dinner-party and/or cocktail-party entertaining. That means a kitchen and dining room suitable for big entertaining. Also the ensuite bath could be more open to the bedroom; an open shower, sink area open to the bedroom, that kind of thing. Privacy is less of a concern than in a traditional family home.

Yeah, the bidet's a good idea. Also: a urinal. Seriously. Several of the high-end home plumbing lines include urinals. Ask your supplier who's buying them.

Probably no rec/rumpus room but maybe a home office and maybe a home gym. *Maybe* a "games" room but I doubt they'd expect you to guess their tastes for that one.

It's a stereotype but you mind find their decorating tastes are more modern/euro/urban than country-style. But ask.

Of course, they're as likely to be as mindful of resale value as anyone, so they might not want things TOO weird. On the other hand I'm sure you deal with a lot of families who are in complete denial about ever wanting to resell their home.

Like any new project your going to have to some research. Might mean a couple of late nights out with the boys to get the FEEL of things.

I was going to suggest extra-large closets, but I guess it's too late for that.

Feed the Troll time!

If they are lesbians they don't want use to any studs to build it.

And everything must be tongue and groove construction.

Seal all the bathroom fixtures with Elmers "Squeeze-n-caulk" ( a real product)

I get the feeling you've been inspired by "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy." Perhaps you will end up writing or producing a new show called "Queer Eye for the Straight Builder" or "Straight Builder for the Queer Eyes" or something like that.

Our long time phone installer had a basic axiom:

Gay household:

  1. track lights
  2. ficus trees

we had a few in our neighborhood, always very quiet, and well kept house and yard. would trade a family with teenagers in favor of them as neighbors in a minute!
