I am a LGBTQ business owner, but the attribute for LGBTQ friendly is not available to me.

I am a LGBTQ business owner and am obviously LGBTQ friendly. However, the LGTBQ friendly attribute is not available for my business. My only option are black owned and woman owned of which I am neither. Does Google decide which attributes are available to which businesses? If so, how can I let them know my situation? I own a travel agency and it's important for those in the LGBTQ community to know which agencies are looking out for them. Thanks!!!

LGBTQ and most attributes are determined by the business category(s) you have chosen.

Any idea if "Travel Agencies" is one of those categories?

What business categories allow LGBTQ attributes to be added? It seems like something all businesses should have access to.

Hi, I'm sorry but I do not know all business categories and the associated attributes. The helpers here, we do not work for Google, we are all volunteers sharing our own knowledge. I'm sorry I could not be of more help to you.

Please contact me if you ever find the answer. What about "LGBT owned?" I am a real estate broker. Why is there "black owned" but not "Asian owned" or "gay owned"?

I am also the owner of an LGBTQ-welcoming (and led) travel business in Panama where now is more important than ever to let this community know they're welcome.

Google should open the LGBTQ-friendly attribute to all businesses. I don't believe there are businesses that have more need to designate themselves as a safe space for our LGBTQ friends than any other. Make this attribute available to all.
