i drag straight friends to gay bars all the time. what's the big deal?

lol @ thread

gay people going to straight bars/clubs: is this bullshit?

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.

as long as they don't mind being hit on in a civilized way.

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.

should gay bars institute a homosexual variant of the 'paper bag test'?

Any minute now!

What's the paper bag test?

xxxp That's the spirit! Are you gay or straight, ryan?

lol at dom

i tht u were bi neway?

How would the gay version of the paper bag test work???

I'm straight but get hit on by men a lot so I probably project gay!

This might stop if you stop going to gay clubs...?

FAGGOTS FUCK FAGGOT ASS AND GET NIGGER AIDS AND DIE AND ALSO HITLER

"the paper bag test used to determine one's fitness to enter certain public places, including nightclubs. skin lighter than a brown paper grocery bag could pass, darker skin could not pass."

guys i've gone to lesbian bars a few times and it's totally cool

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.

I met my fiancee at a gay bar. I'm straight, she's bisexual. We were both their with mutual friends.

"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.

If it's a mixed crowd, it's a guessing game again.

YES LIKE I SAID, HITLER

i tht u were bi neway?

Yeah. I usually go to the gay bar with my girlfriend, though.

straight men could not possibly want to sleep with me in smaller numbers than gay men do.

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.

xpost smaller than zero is just math

is the Abbey a gay bar?

gay bars on tv have the best names

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.

Abbey usta be; just one night a week now?

thx a lot kenan, I get a free date with yr brother for that one.

Better question: gay guys who hate going to anyplace BUT gay bars c/d.

Total dud. One of my best friends is gay and hates going to "straight" bars and it can get kind of annoying, to be honest.

xpost :)

he's cuet.

As I said, I've a couple of friends who hang out 99% of the time with other gays; even when I invite them to accompany my het friends and I they're nervous and awkward.

The excuse? "I'm playing a part nine to five. After five, I can be myself."

That's a terrible excuse.

srsly. GROW A SPINE, PUSSY

Tell your friends to stop being pussies.

xpost HA

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.

if you're a straight dude who really loves dancing to diva house or old whitney houston, you're not gonna have a lot of straight bar options

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.

That goes completely against all social precedent, though.

xp: if you're a str8 dude who loves that, give it up

i understand this is not a real problem xpost

My friends are Pearl Jam fans.

No wonder they're pussies!

the only thing i love more than dancing to diva house is pussy

haha -- ABANDON HOPE

i understand this is not a real problem

i think maybe it is for some... i mean... totally theoretically. Totally.

No, I guess not, Dan. I thought of it as a black pride thing -- prove yr "one of us" or whatever.

How would the gay version of the paper bag test work???

so much joy here

Do you guys think you wld get more hostility as a jeans and Old Navy shirt-wearing person in a goth club, or as a str8 in a gay club?

"I am sorry, you are gayer than this paper bag and therefore too gay to enter this club. Good day."

lol

Definitely the former, in my experience. 'Straights' I've gone to a particular goth club with (for '80s night dancin') have reported quite a bit of hostility from the locals.

Dan you have made my morning perfect.

xp lol Neo

what's in the paper bag, though? poppers, maybe

that's paper?

hey a GIS for "gay bag" turns up a lot

i'm calling jaymc Babs from now on

didn't work for the last guy tho

just call him Stools.

As I inched my way off the seat, I believe I said, "I'm going to go direct Yentl now."

oh okay i thought u meant:

hott girls at gay bars = good

kenan i kiss you. those old posts made my morning excellent.

also, i really have no opinion. i've invited so many straight people to gays bars that i have no problem. (i mean, if people REALLY LIKE DISCO, they have a right to go somewhere where they can hear it played super-loud, right?)

ugh the hot girls are always the ones i want to punch. it's the crazy theatrical big ugly girls i love in a gay bar.

(and no i'm not getting confused between them and the queens)

you want to punch girls

well, yknow. not really. but if i see paris hilton fake lipgloss style girl next to some hot young twink boyfriend (and this is anywhere not just at gay bars), my first inner thought is: 'punch the girl and kidnap the boy'

so it's more inner reaction to the beauty myth than actual physical, outward reaction to the beauty myth.

etc.

"I Punch Beauty: The Table is the Table Story"

really? my first thought is "enjoy your shitty lives, if you are able"

"Why the punchings? ;_;"

oh no i love me a horsey. i discriminate against humans only. and fuckin spiders, egads.

how about celibate spiders

Fuck 'em.

yo even charlotte creeps me out. look at that tiny mouth!

You are straight.

got me there

well, yknow. not really. but if i see paris hilton fake lipgloss style girl next to some hot young twink boyfriend (and this is anywhere not just at gay bars), my first inner thought is: 'punch the girl and kidnap the boy'

You're gay.

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.

want to hear that story in more detail!

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.

Another highlight was his opening his spiel with, "If you buy those, you have to take 'straight-acting' off your Manhunt profile."

OMG!

gayish swimwear store

?
