gay people going to straight bars/clubs: is this bullshit?
― Billy Dods, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 22:20 (sixteen years ago) link
There's a gay bar right around the corner (literally like 30 seconds away) from my apartment. So sure, I've gone there a few times, esp. in inclement weather when I don't feel like walking the half-mile to the next-nearest bar. No one seems to mind.

I'm just wondering if I'm the only one bothered by this and if I'm being stupid. Probably. I'm also hoping this can become an endless clusterfuck thread.

guys i've gone to lesbian bars a few times and it's totally cool
― omar little, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 22:28 (sixteen years ago) link
I can see being upset about it. The assumption could be that everyone in a gay bar/cub is potentially receptive to advances from members of the same sex. Takes the guessing out of trying to figure out if that might be the case. If it's a mixed crowd, it's a guessing game again.

"there"
I can't spell grammar worth a shit today.
The gay bars here suck, so I end up at het establishmetns 98% of the time anyway, but when I'm obliged to take them they're cool, especially when they realize that their own cool points shot up astronomicaly with the straight girls in there.
Better question: gay guys who hate going to anyplace BUT gay bars c/d.

That's weird, considering the direction of the thread I'd have thought it wd be more like "skin darker than a brown paper bag could pass" because if it's about proving you're gay "enough"...oh well.

I used to go to lesbian bars all the time and this was never felt it was a problem this could however be because I'm not entirely straight. I have never felt 100% comfortable in gay male clubs. I've always felt as if as if a lot of the men didn't like women being there. Then again, I could be paranoid or just going to the wrong clubs/bars.

I think there is probably a lot of factors at play, especially for women who do this. Not least a perceived "no pressure" zone in dealing with the opposite sex, like a gender free utopia or something.

On the weekend, an overly solicitous salesman in a gayish swimwear store was giving me a lengthy sales pitch when suddenly he stopped, indicated a particularly fruity pair of speedos, and said, "Can I tell you something serious? Straight men buy these now. They go to Arc (trashy gay nightclub) because they like the music and they like to have their back licked by men, but they won't have sex with you. They're not gay for sex." This rant went forever and became more and more clearly about one particular dude who had refused to sleep with the salesmen, ending with, "And he has a wife. She knows all about it." Did not seem like a good time to tell him I have girlfriend.

So does that straight man wear the speedos to the club? That would make it a lot easier for people to lick his back, if he was just wearing speedos.
