Gay as a Pancake

There is a gay bar in Kansas City called " Buddies". THe logo is two clinking steins with swarthy hands, and a big dumb looking rainbow. Is the gay community as diverse as the hetero community in terms of having both very cheesy hang outs and very cool ones> ? Or are the really cool ones just not even gay or straight but "everyone"?

How are pancakes gay? I had two for breakfast this morning, by eating them do I reveal my true sexuality? And I daren't ask about muffins.

Clearly you have never been to Minneapolis' famous Y'All Come Back Soon Saloon. Buddies sounds like the place that 'bears' go before they shit in the woods ;).

Boston had one called "THe Ramrod" .

Word to hets on said anthropological mission: gay watering holes (the good ones) have always been notoriously resigned to being extremely tacky and tasteless. Probably because the owners need a steady, tired clientele and not be discovered and overrun only to turn into a mix bar where small bands of straight mousy office folk go to prefunction... hence the scary corporate sponsorships ($1 Bud Lazer Karoake and Wet Basket Night) and catering to specific demo's within the communitiy.

And yes, Pancakes are gay.

There's a gay bar two doors down from a favorite local ramen place, the Tin Lizzie. Rainbow flag on the door and everything, though it looks like the type of place where people concentrate on their beer first and foremost, so I can't complain.

i do perfer the queer dives ( Royal in Vancouver, JOs in Vic,Secrets in Edmonton )

I love gay bars with those nudge nudge wink wink names like Secrets: Mixed Nuts, Nobody's Bizness, Scandals! The bar in New England seaport area I grew up in was called the Salty Dog.

I do think the really cool ones are for everyone, like the bar in the John Waters movie Pecker. I prefer it that way, but a lot of people find that it makes for a less sexy atmosphere. Bars in Los Angeles are very segregated (young muscle guys in West Hollywood, older, leathery guys in Silverlake) and very l

I good name for a gay club is " No HeteroFuckfest"

Most gay bars are very dud, especially for the omnipresent shitty dance music.

What's the one Pansy Division song about crappy LA clubs and all? "Fluffy City"? I've seen Rage (the club) plenty of times from the outside and it wasn't that impressive, methinks.

The gay club in Northampton (The Jolly Anchor) has "ENTER FROM REAR" on one of its doors.

From the above article:

"Baked Alaska is the archetypal queer food. Baked Alaska is ice cream and sponge cake, spread with a coat of whipped egg whites, broiled at 500 degrees for several minutes. The meringue insulates the ice cream, so there is no melting.

"Why is Baked Alaska queer? Because it breezily mocks the threat of damnation, goes to hell and back, and lives to tell the story. Baked Alaska's very identity, in fact, depends on having suffered an accusation of weakness, on surviving a trial by fire. It even gets a tan."

Did it close? :-(

Gee, I wonder why the original thread died when it did.

You know, I read about this topographic study that was done that showed that Kansas was actually gayer than a pancake.

If the question is are there cheesy gay bars and cool gay bars just like in the straight bar scene I guess the answer is yes, but for some reason I almost always feel a higher cheese factor at gay bars. But to address hanley's second question, and similar to how Arthur feels, I think the hippest bars really are mixed. And I actually find that atmosphere much sexier. Plus if I'm going out to drink and socialize I like a more diverse crowd anyway.

If I ever open a gay bar it shall be named "Flapjacks"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Monday, 12 January 2004 02:02 (twenty-two years ago)

That explains why Annie (in the film version) licks her lips at the mention of Baked Alaska. Gah! John Huston films conspired to turn me gay at such an early age!!!
