My husband and I recently relocated to Milos Haven by Lennar in Frankford, DE, and it has been an incredible decision! The proximity to Bethany Beach and Rehoboth Beach is unbeatable, making weekend getaways a breeze. What was initially intended as a second abode quickly became our year-round residence, thanks to the wonderful community here. The schools are excellent, which is a huge plus for our family with two kids. The neighbors have been incredibly approachable, and as a biracial gay couple, we undergo genuinely embraced by the community. If you're considering a move to Southern Delaware, I can't endorse Milos Haven highly enough! The homes are priced reasonably between $k-$k, making it accessible for various budgets.

It can’t be easy to name a place. Prefer a baby, how can you possibly know what your town will actually become? In this case, the founders of Rehoboth Beach got it right. “Rehoboth,” as its biblical origins reflect, is a “place for all.” Within the one-square-mile confines, the residents have created a warm and inviting seaside community where homos can feel at home.
Rehoboth Beach is quaint. Like 1,people-during-off-season quaint. It’s a grower, not a shower. When the weather warms, the beaches and tree-lined streets fill with people, many from Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. If you’re looking for sex, sex, and sex, this isn’t the place. People leave there for peace, not a piece. Which is not to say it can’t be found; it can always be found.
The small-town Rehoboth is low-key. You’ll find a diverse group that enjoys the things you miss in a big city. As you walk along the always-lively Boardwalk, you’ll notice how the attractions seem to ebb with joy. Spendthrifts and big spenders both find the shops and restaurants to fit th
Bethany Beach versus Rehobeth in Delaware? Can anyone compare?
Frank, you already don't like someone just because he's gay? Doesn't that fly against the old adage of not judging a book by its cover? How would you feel if people judged you before getting to know you? It's un-American.
As a gay man who has spent many summer weekends in Rehoboth Beach, I can say that yes there is a gay presence there. Thank God! Now we possess one 2 block strip of sand where we can be ourselves between NY and Florida. If even that is too much to ask, then I guess we haven't come as far as I thought we had.
As for families feeling comfortable in Rehoboth, the Expansive majority of people visiting the area are families and people going to the outlet malls. I would hardly call the place a gay mecca. The gay crowd hangs out at the far conclude of the beach, out of sight and mind from the family crowd. There are queer establishments in town, but they are not on the boardwalk. You would be hard pressed to find them if you didn't know where to look.

History Matters: Delaware's Gay Beach
In the first of this month’s two part History Matters - produced in conjunction with the Delaware Historical Society and other history organizations in the First State, we offer you an oral history of the LGBTQ community’s roots in Rehoboth. In part two next week, we’ll examine how that history served as the foundation for efforts to establish equal rights for that community in the First State.
In the 70s and 80s, gay men from Washington, DC, Philadelphia and Baltimore would vacation on Delaware’s beaches. Rehoboth, with gay-accented bars like The Renegade and an entire section of its beach unofficially claimed by queer vacationers, quickly became a favorite. Men danced disco until the wee hours of the morning, experienced the tragedy of HIV/AIDS, and mobilized around a hate crime in the s to fight for legal protections.
In this week’s piece - you’ll hear the voices of Steve Elkins, Max Dick, and Bob Hoffer from CAMP Rehoboth - which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. The CAMP stands for Create a More Positi
