Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights in the United States have evolved in recent decades. However, LGBT Americans may still face some legal and many social challenges not experienced by non-LGBT residents, particularly in states with large conservative populations, such as in the Deep South; in rural areas; and in some Native American tribal nations.
U.S. federal law does not explicitly include protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. In June 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that sexual orientation and gender identity are included under “sex” as a prohibited ground of employment discrimination in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

My girlfriend and I enjoyed a relaxing stay at the Iron Horse last weekend. We appreciated the beautiful property, convenient location, clean room, and gorgeous artwork – it was a weekend of comfort, luxury and romance. I was not only impressed with the unique accommodations and features, but also with the professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness of the staff.
We loved the room service, enjoyed a drink at the bar, and the sunset from our 5th floor room couldn’t be beat. As a gay couple, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The Iron Horse will be my first choice for future visits to Milwaukee.
Refurbished mattress factory into a gorgeous hotel with original wood beams and iron. European feel with excellent food and service. Street parking is a plus. Our favorite hotel in the Midwest. Highly recommended. The Harley Davidson museum down the street is a must-see visit.
A truly unique hotel experience with amazing attention to detail in craftsmanship, decor, drink and food menu and delivery, and staff. Both my wife and I agreed that this was our favorite hotel we have stayed in and actually made us want to spend time at the hotel.

We chose The Journeyman because it’s a Kimpton and we love Kimpton Hotels. This chic, cozy hotel did not disappoint. The staff is amazing, and the hotel is hip and charming. We stayed for two nights in a suite and it was a perfect set-up for a couple needing relaxation. Great amenities and hangout spaces for people looking to sit by the fire and relax.
Friendly, warm and welcoming staff. Also, very knowledgeable of surrounding area and able to make strong recommendations. Appreciated that!
Lobby, sitting area and neighboring rooms are cozy, and relaxing, with great attention to detail. Very warm ambiance with fireplace, billiards and seating.
Fitness Center is spacious, and they have a Peloton bike, which is something for me that has begun to discern one property to the next. I seek out properties which have these on site, as they are a great workout, and great addition. I was excited to see they offered this.
Rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, translating that same warm, inviting, cozy theme into the rooms. I absolutely loved everything about the room. Functional, practical workspace, amazing bathtub, shower area, nice robes, and well appointed minibar/snackbar.
Beds are super comfortable…and enjoyed a great night’s sleep.
Location is great, and walking distance to nearly everything you will need, including a great coffee shop on the corner, Bella, and a lovely paper company with unique gift items.
I highly recommend this property…truly, now one of my Top 3 favorites across the world.

Couldn’t say enough great things about the Graduate brand. The intimacy and authenticity of the localized design make you feel like you are truly at a Wisconsin getaway as opposed to staying in a name brand corporate hotel provider. From the student ID cards with famous UW alumni to the college pennant door hangers, the hotel nails the collegiate vibe for nostalgic UW grads like myself without being too over the top.
The location on Langdon is perfect and the rooftop restaurant/bar is a unique amenity not found around the State Street/Langdon area. Love how this brand relates with both the alumni and students. Will be using this for many more trips up to Madison for both work and leisure.
