GAY BAR MIDLANDS?

I am a morator on another msage boards and there is a recurrg theme of how there are no venu for gay and lbian people the Midlands. Some posters on the boards say 's bee of vilent homophobia, small mdns and small town attus and, becuase of that, there are so many LGBT people ep the closet the Midlands that wouldn't want to be seen g this venue.

But e on, 's 2008 and wh that md, would there actually be spe for a gay bar Athlone?

After all, if Galway n support three LGBT venu and a gay bar is now open and dog well Strabane of all plac, then surely 's time that a gay bar me to Athlone? I have absolutely no problem wh gays, I jt don't unrstand the need for alienatn.

GAY ATHLONE

But lbians and gay men need a space to meet up safely - ergo the need for gay bars. There is an anisatn - GLAM - that arragng social meet ups and nights out for gays and lbians the Midlands but there are no permanent bars/venu to go to. Some posters have suggted that a "gay-iendly" place rather than a gay bar as such would do more bs.

I thk that the late 2000s, any sizable Irish town that has a gay bar would be a pl s image as a morn, progrsive, diverse and welg lotn.

Given time and regular support om the gay muny I n't see why you n't transform one of the existg venu to what you want. You’re que right there – gay people should be able to go out and mix wh straights the full range of bars and clubs available - we shouldn’t need to stay separate. There is still a threat towards gay people many midland areas, and as Juper Kid explaed – simple displays of affectn between gay people uld be owned upon.

So would now be the right time to open any kd of bar – let alone a gay one?

In the UK many small towns now have a gay pub and each venue had s share of ial protts. The do lm down eventually when people realise that the gay folk are jt gog to treat them the same way they treat the other bigots they enunter on a daily basis. In terms of nutters, well that down to secury aga but unls the issue is out there and gay people start gog out openly, that will never be fixed.

GAY STREET ATHLONE

As I have said, GLAM is hopg to set-up more meets Athlone and other areas later the year and I would enurage anyone who is gay those areas, or who supports our group (straight iends wele too! I've heard om a poster on Gaire (the leadg LGBT msage boards Ireland) that there is a mour gog around Athlone that Biddy Mulligans is to reopen eher as a gay bar or "gay iendly" bar. Not beg gay iendly, but the fact 's a hard to monor area and there's too much scum about.

Athlone has a very open and thrivg gay muny. Are there any particularly gay bars athlone?..

GAY BAR ATHLONE

I thk 's high time that Athlone gets a gay bar and/or rource centre. There is absolutely NO-WHERE for gay people to ngregate and be themselv the entire Midlands, save for the odd night anised by GLAM which is very wele I may add but a permanent venue is need.

Posts: 2:)Hi Guy's I was readg some of the post's and pee's me of at this day an age I thk people are startg to e around wh the hole "GAY" thg.

GAY BAR ATHLONE

So I put my thkg p on and sat down wh a good iend and me up wh an ia I would like to give all the Gay Guy's & Girl's a oppey to enjoy them selv aga and not have to hi away anymore. Would a gay bar have enough bs the town? I nt see someone openg one wtihout some sense of worry that would be targeted by anti gays.

Im not anti gay or anythg but i dont thk athlone would be able to support a gay bar. No richard Grac is not a gay bar this mour go around town everytime a new place opens up. I dont thk too many pubs are not "gay iendly" athlone.

im not gay!

Jt sayg a gay bar wouldnt go down too well wh some athlone. you keep sayg that someone should open up a gay bar Athlone, qu whgg and do yourself, don't expect people to ter to your whims. As I have said aga and aga I am not trted openg up a gay bar Athlone.

My aim is to fd out om the Gay and Bi People Athlone if they would go to a pub if was to hold a Gay night?. It has nothg to wh a gay bar thats the hols ia of the web se so if you would stop blabbg and log on to the web se and see what 's all about.

As for Metro/Lol id say that is a gay bar, alot of queer look fúckers and unrage male hookers always smokg outsi. I thk one or two of the barmen might be a b on the gay si there but i wouldnt ll a gay bar as s always full of olr upl. FFS some of the latt repli like the one about a barman Gertie Brown's and the "I'm not gay!

GAY DIS ATHLONE

" post show jt how much a distance a ltle place like Athlone has to go to be ready for a gay bar. Ah sure ther loads of gays Athlone, you should be able to fd them anyways on a night out, no need for a gay night. I was replyg to another persons ment about Gertie Browns beg full of gays and that is one of the reasons gays do drk there.

EXPLORE GAY ROOMS & RENTALS ATHLONE

Athlone is not a big enough town for a Gay only bar. If Athlone is not big enough, then how e Strabane and Kilkenny - both smaller than Athlone - have gay bars that are dog well?

:rolley: The Midlands needs a gay venue and if you have a problem wh that then get over .

Ive no problem wh gay bars, but are normal bars not enough for the gays why mt you put a tag on a bar by llg a gay bar. Its hard enough for publins to make ends meet now, i dont see personally how a gay bar would survive Athlone. That said, i dont have any problem wh gay bars, ive never been one, nor do i thk id be gog to one for the pt of beer.

GAY BEAR ATHLONE
