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

The first time I went to London I went out with a friend of mine who was living there at the time. At the first joint we went into she offered to go to the bar. As I sat there and observed the surroundings, I realized that everyone in the place was female and that there were a lot of really butch looking ladies. By the time she got back we'd both figured it out. "Ladies Night" meant something totally different at that bar then what we were used to.

"heteronormative dudes" – lol.

I had an unfortunate run-in on Halloween night at the gay bar around the corner from my apartment. While waiting for Jesse to show up, I got into a conversation with a guy in his late 30s/early 40s who, it became quickly clear, was quite drunk and lonely. (He had been dancing by himself at his bar stool when I got there.) He asked me if I was "typically straight," and I admitted, "Yes, typically, I am. And I'm in a long-term relationship with a woman right now, so." Of course, that didn't stop him from asking for my number and then later, after I made it clear that I really wasn't interested, from grabbing me and sitting me down on his stool and trying to engage me in some role-playing that involved him as "Jimmy Caan" and me as "Babs" (Funny Lady, I guess?) I tried to laugh it all off, but I guess he took this as me making fun of him, and when he finally left -- by this time, Jesse had shown up -- he narrowed his eyes at me and said, "You breeders make me sick."

How big was his stool?

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

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

i'm calling jaymc Babs from now on

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

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"

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!
