Don't know from firsthand experience, but I'm willing to bet you can find lots of information by googling.

My gay friends make most of their arangements through a gay travel web site I think. I don't know what it is though. They seem to generally stay at gay-owned B&Bs and such. Maybe someone on here will know. Good luck and skip the caps next time.

Hi LD,

No need to do all caps, we can hear you.

$100 is only 70E. That's rather low for Venice.

Try http://www.hotelbernardi.com/en/hotel.html

this is a first posting, but if the question is sincere
try

www.planetout.com

Ira, nothing like a screaming queen, is there?

I wonder what ThinG's olfactories have to say about this one.

Leigh David, I would check out both gay and budget websites. $70USD is pretty low for Venice especially in the summer.

Lonely Planet's BB called the Thorn Tree has a gay and lesbian branch. There's a gay travel magazine that is good (Out Travel or something like that).

Fodors contains a wealth of information but there are not too many gay out active posters here.

Oops 70 euro I meant.

NYCFoodSnob; That's MISS Screaming Queen to you and don't you ever forget it.
