Thoughts: Straight people in gay bars? Are you okay when you go to what is supposed to be a gay bar or drag show and see it full of straight women? I love that we're so trendy but sometimes I just want to go to a bar and not have to deal with a bachelorette party full of straight women running around and grabbing at me, dancing up on me, drunk straight women are the worst sometimes.

It’s annoying. But I think the issue is less “straight people at the gay bar” and more “disrespectful and obnoxious straight people at the gay bar.”

I’ve had fun with straight people at the gay bar who are respectful of the space they’re in, don’t take up the energy of the room or make themselves the center of attention, don’t treat lgbtqia+ people and drag queens like monkeys in a zoo to be ogled at, and don’t overtly try to hit on people like they would at a straight bar.

It’s when the straights do those things that it becomes an issue.

It’s not our fault that straight bar are not safe spaces for girl groups of women. Make straight men behave and stay in your spaces 🤣

I’m over it. We’re already seeing the straight women bring their boyfriends along. Soon we won’t have any safe spaces left to be ourselves.

Went to a lesbian bar that I had always felt comfy in years ago. I sat at the bar(used to be Francine's),ordered my drink and tried to bring on feelings of nostalgia and was rudely interrupted by a bi-sexual man trying to grind on me while he was dancing. I was grossed out and went down the street a little to the gay bar(The Pendulum)a few doors away. Definitely had a better time. So,there are a lot of party crashers. Ugh

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.

I know I will get hated by saying this. Do you think gay pride events are portraying a bad image about our community to public? (Drugs, sexual, inappropriate clothes, and sometimes like strip clubs- some parts). I know it is right to present us but I just feel it is not the right way to show who we are. I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?
