NOLTE: 11-YEAR-OLD ‘DRAG QUEEN’ DANC FOR DOLLAR BILLS GAY BAR

An 11-year-old boy known as “Dmond Is Amazg” danced on stage at a New York gay bar while grown men tossed dollar bills at him. But at gay bars where your phone’s rerdg vic are disabled upon entry, 11-year-old Dmond’s parents have him dancg around on stage a tank top while grown men hoot, holler, and throw money. He is the thor of 25 books and hosts the natnally syndited, daily talk rad show, the Le of there is one thg that upsets the gay muny, ’s the accatn that most (or many) gay men are pedophil.

WHY DANCG WAS SO IMPORTANT AT THE STONEWALL INN, NEW YORK'S NEWLY-LANDMARKED GAY BAR

Closely related to this accatn is the charge that they’re groomg boys for gay man wh whom I’ve ever teracted about the subjects has tegorilly nied them, and to a man, they seemed as repulsed at the ia of pedophilia as I was. And personally, I believe ’s te that “man boy love” was often celebrated gay circl throughout rerd ’s te that, to this day, there is more “tergeneratnal” datg among gay men. And ’s te that some of the most celebrated gay ins, cludg Allen Gsberg and Larry Kramer, spoke sympathetilly of NAMBLA and the like.

)But, to repeat, if there’s one thg I’ve heard nsistently om the gay muny is that they plore the ncept of man-boy relatnships. Bee of that, when I wrote a lengthy chapter A Queer Thg Happened to Ameri parg the arguments of pedophile activist wh the arguments of gay activists, I was very reful to state ( ps and bold, the origal): MICHAEL BROWN IS NOT EQUATING HOMOSEXUAL PRACTICE WITH PEDOPHILIA.

WHEN THE BOY DRAG DANCED AT THE GAY BAR AND THE GAY MUNY DID NOT PROTT

I still believe this statement is te, and I’m sure there are plenty of gay men nsensual, even mted relatnships wh other gay men who would vom at the thought of man-boy relatnships.

)At the same time, I believe that the nnectn between homosexualy and “tergeneratnal timacy” remas alive and well, as has through gay history. There’s no nyg years, MassRistance has documented the ab takg place between gay adults and mors, pecially school-based GSA’s (Gay Straight Allianc; see here and here and here) there has been no prott om the larger gay muny about the recently, the wake of the new perverted fad of drag queens readg stori to toddlers and ltle children, one of the rears, Dylan Pontiff (aka Santana Pilar Andrews) ma this stunng statement at a cy uncil meetg: “This is gog to be the groomg of the next generatn. A step that should certaly mer a universal gasp of horror om the gay muny reported on the Daily Wire, earlier this month, “an 11-year-old boy drsed drag danced on stage a sexual manner at a gay bar Brooklyn, NY, lled 3 Dollar Bill.

And watch the drag queens march ont and center, along wh the pedophile-approvg ins helpg to lead the that mel has his head the door, wh marriage refed and homosexualy celebrated and teemed, the rt of the mel is g through. Corneli Prchfield, voiced by Sir Ian McKellen, an olr gay Brish man who turns out to be both the perfect foil and talyst for a project for Stewie. It is so packed of hyper-specific tails relatg to prsure, shame, and elism gay culture that we uldn’t believe we were watchg on Fay Guy.

”There’s an emotnal tellect gog on, where Stewie’s hyper-self-aware that thgs he’s sayg might be misnsted for g out as gay. Prchfield’s relatnship wh his younger partner has some really specific tails that you almost have to be a member of the gay muny to unrstand the mutiae specific. Seth MacFarlane spoke years ago about how he had once wrten an episo which Stewie out as gay but opted not to n wh bee he’d rather his sexualy rema ambiguo.

Chanc are, your first tentative steps out onto the London queer scene were ma or around Old Compton Street, the shg of London’s mastream gay culture. Csg a venue to ll out an expensive plummer bee you and your pals thought ’d be a great plan to smash up the toilet after your first h of gay gra gak isn’t exactly the pnacle of allyship. A mere 30 years later, sectn 28 was passed - makg an offence to promote (talk about) homosexualy schools and only 5 years ago same sex marriag were not legal.

THE DOS & DON'TS OF GAY CLUBBG

And while he never que out as gay, there is a lot to suggt what an olr Stewie might be facg, or reprsg, when to his sexualy. You n make up your own md after listeng to Stewie discs Bethenny Frankel and Haton, and even Seth MacFarlane has talked about why an episo where Stewie out as gay was scrapped years ago. To be fair, there are straight clubs that play great mic and have fun, nonjudgmental crowds, and there are gay bars that are nothg more than S and M (Stand and Mol) clubs.

IS STEWIE GAY? ‘FAY GUY’ FALLY ADDRS HIS SEXUALY (AND THAT ACCENT!)

Certa gay/lbian clubs have their target clientele, of urse — wboys and wgirls (The Round-up Saloon Dallas), leather men (La Track Montreal), punk lbians (The Dyke Bar Brighton, UK), and drag queens (1001 Pub Maryl Istanbul), for stance — but what I’m talkg about is your basic glter-ball, all-wele, humpg-on-the-dance-floor dis. This wouldn’t have happened at any of the gay bars town, and we fely would have had a better time, as the doorman was jt the first of numero snooty employe we enuntered, there.

GAY MEN DANCG DANCE FLOOR NIGHTCLUB STOCK PHOTOS AND IMAG

That may seem obv, but ’s amazg how many people enter what is clearly a gay bar and say, “Hey, thar’s a bunch a queers ‘ere. A gay bar is one of the few plac where homosexuals n exprs their affectn for one another whout beg subjected to someone’s narrow judgment, or, prumably, riskg harm to themselv, so expect to happen. I went wh three iends — a lbian and a straight uple — to a gay nightclub a while back, but was separated om them immediately after enterg the crowd club.

Unlike what you may have seen on Queer as Folk, the overwhelmg majory of gay bars don’t have backrooms and hallways where wild i are takg place. Dg e, particularly the e of ecstasy and other signer dgs, is higher among the gay populatn than the straight populatn, and some gays and lbians equate a night on the town wh a night of high-energy, dg-duced spastic dancg.

DO YOU WANNA FUNK WH ME?: A BEGNER’S GUI TO GAY NIGHTCLUBS

In my qut for the perfect dance club, I tried, or was dragged to, diss of all varieti, so I know om experience that the bt dance mic is a gay bar. Sylvter, the late dis diva of the ’80s, was one of the first to target gay dienc, and he tablished a proud tradn of producg multi-layered tracks to which even the most rhythmilly-challenged uld dance. Even though he was straight and had a girliend, Ron and I went dancg together often; we both loved to dance, and if no one wanted to go out wh , we knew we uld dance a gay bar whout beg hassled.

From gym gods to nerds to fag hags (the latter beg the straight women who hang wh their gay male iends) to straight upl who want to try some place new — don’t matter.

Although, to be hont, the more you look like a er ught the headlights, the more the regulars will look at you oddly, so try not to eak out when you see your first drag queen or gay/lbian uple makg out. And often, gay clubs smaller towns or ral areas are entrance-by-membership-only, to keep out the rednecks and others who want stir up trouble.

HOW TO BEE POPULAR AT A GAY BAR
