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.

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.

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."

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
― elmo argonaut, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 22:36 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

My experiences going to gay bars as a straight guy is that it's by and large totally chill. That being said, if gay dudes were to resent my presence there in some big way (which has never happened, as far as I can tell), then I would be inclined to not argue and respect their wishes to have a space where they don't have to deal with the "straight" world during their leisure time...esp. if they happen to live somewhere that is less receptive to gay culture overall. Everyone deserves some kind of sanctuary from bullshit.
― dell, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 23:07 (sixteen years ago) link
going to gay bars is usually pretty fun, except i got dragged to some weird warehouse called the eagle once where there were dudes in leather chaps and masks and i heard some dude say "eew, women" -- I WAS OUTTA THERE PRETTY QUICKLIKE

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 23:12 (sixteen years ago) link
Maybe it has something to do with patrons' ages? My most extensive experience in a gay bar involved going there with an ex-girlfriend, in part b/c oftentimes the environment there seemed less annoying somehow than other local "straight" places. I wouldn't classify her as a "fag hag", whatever that means, in any sense, but the guys there always treated her awesomely.
― dell, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 23:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh, the part I forgot to post is that the patrons of this particular place were largely middle-aged.
i think it's a good bet that if any bar has the word "eagle" in the title it's a leather daddy bar

some gay/lesbian bars are fun (in SF I dig the Eagle and El Rio and used to enjoy Kimo's). Some I have no interest in but always chuckle at their "risque" names (the Men's Room, the Midnight Sun, Look Daddy's Coming, Moby Dick, etc.)

I think it depends on the situation. There are bars I don't tend to want to go to: lesbian pick-up bars where I feel distinctly unappreciated on a Saturday, say, or gay pick-up bars where I end up having to fend off lots of inquiries without looking like I'm a rubbernecker or otherwise causing offense, but that's often more a function of the day and time than the bar itself and if I'm there with a bunch of gay friends, I figure I'm a 'guest' and I don't care if anybody takes offense. I also think that it depends on your behavior. I don't get grossed out by dudes kissing on the dance floor or talking dirty or checking people out or hitting on me, for that matter, if there not louts about it, or going off to do drugs together or whatever, so I don't feel that I'm sullying anybody's sanctuary.
― Michael White, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 23:24 (sixteen years ago) link
There's a place near me called The Dick Liquor. Sadly it's nothing to do with the gays.
― Autumn Almanac, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 23:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Kimo's is gay?! I played there once and didn't notice. Or get laid.
I have arguably never been to a gay bar in Portland, but I'm told I'm not missing much. Still that might give you a sense of my take on this "issue", if you couldn't already guess.
― Casuistry, Tuesday, 29 January 2008 23:35 (sixteen years ago) link
Kimo's is old skool gay for sure. I don't go there, however, as the owner is a completely creepy pervy voyeur who has a security camera system that's wired TO HIS HOME where he can keep an eye on the bar's patrons 24/7. I am not kidding.

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.

― plaxico (I know, right?), Tuesday, 10 November 2009 21:54 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― mh, Tuesday, 10 November 2009 22:10 (fourteen years ago) link
Another highlight was his opening his spiel with, "If you buy those, you have to take 'straight-acting' off your Manhunt profile."
