I worry about it every time we travel but so far we've had no bad experiences with hotel or restaurant staff. Some of the problems we've had were from everyday people. We were holding hands and walking around the mall in Albuquerque and some stupid teen got in my face and started yelling homophobic slurs at me. If it wasn't for the gf I would have knocked her block off (She's the calmer of the two of us). But other then that the hotel staff and restaurant people have been nothing but nice to me and my gf but it's still something I worry about regardless of all of the good experiences because there's always that first time but I try not to let it kill the fun.

Again, we've had nothing but good experiences when it comes to jewelry shopping. The gentleman that helped us make my engagement ring treated us no different than a straight couple. He took the time to explain everything and try different diamonds with the band we chose. We've been to various jewelry places and other then a few odd stares from older women they haven't denied us serves.

I know we've been lucky because I hear stories all the time about people getting mistreated. If I were you I'd never go back to Tiffany's but that's just me. There are plenty of jewelry stores that you can take your business to and you should find one that is willing to treat you both like human beings.
