THE STRAIGHT MEN YOU MEET AT GAY BARS

Yet the shadow of the Orlando LGBTQ shootgs, we are remd that beg gay, bi or transgenr is still a nstant fight to have a right to exprs your te inty. It n be dntg for LGBTQ people to go to a gay bar alone if they have no LGBTQ iends, and of urse LGBT people have every right to go to gay bars wh straight iends. However, a world where there is a ty number of areas that are dited specifilly to the LGBTQ muny, for straight people to attend gay bars out of their own acrd is to value the plac as a ‘gay space’.

THIS HILAR VIO EXPLOR WHETHER STRAIGHT PEOPLE SHOULD GO TO GAY BARS

You bee uncerta who is LGBTQ and who is straight and jt lookg for a ‘flamboyant’ night is often an awkwardly discsed matter wh LGBTQ circl that there is a lack of ‘lbian culture’; gay bars are predomantly for gay men. Arguably is bee of the crease of straight women attendg gay bars attempt to have nights out whout receivg unwanted male attentn.

STEP-BY-STEP INSTCTNS FOR SHOOTG YOUR SHOT WH GAY GUYS

By vadg the gay space, means n bee harr for gay women to meet like-md dividuals and rerc gay bars as a gay male space. The fact that San Francis (often nsired one of the gay pals of the world) closed s only remag lbian bar last year says a lot about the state of lbian, for straight people to go to a gay bar is an vasn of ‘space’. It is to actively choose to go to a space that is tend to offer sanctuary for a mory group, and is to treat this sanctuary as any other place the ’s make this clear: gay bars are not the same as normal bars.

From the lol Coop to your favoure fé to your bookshop to our schools to our workplac, the plac are all placed unr the heteronormative gaze – jt bee they don’t have the word ‘gay’ ont of them.

But LGBTQ are unlikely to have this you do not abi to the stereotype of what means to be ‘gay’, then you are assumed to be straight.

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

When young, homosexual people who do not f the ‘gay stereotype’ and are secure wh their sexualy, straight clubs are often plac where they receive unwanted attentn. Gay bars, nversely, offer a safe space which such people do not have to al wh the society is beg creasgly liberal, we mt not bee placent.

At this pot time I was still eply secure wh my sexualy, and the ia of them seeg me out of the closet (so to say) was almost enough to put me off of, while attendg LGBTQ nights and gog to gay bars is an active act and admtedly one which puts LGBTQ dividuals out the open, what straight people might not realisg when attendg such nights is that they are not only attendg a bar or a club night, but they are also enterg to a mory culture that has a secret life of s own, even if don’t always actively exist out the ’s make this clear: gay bars are not the same as normal bars.
