The gay dating app SCRUFF has named Rehoboth Beach one of the world’s top destinations for LGBT travelers.
The survey was based off the rankings of more than 1,300 users whose responses were primarily based on their sense of safety in a destination. Only Tel Aviv, Israel and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico beat Rehoboth Beach, which tied with Saugutuck, Michigan.
But the town didn’t always have its reputation for safety and acceptance of gay lifestyles, according to Steve Elkins, executive director of the LGBT rights organization- CAMP Rehoboth.
