I think it's good that they exist. I think it would be better if there was more variety, so it's not just "this is the gay bar where all gay people go" but I think that sort of exists anyway, I know quite a few art school-esque gay guys who, funnily enough, go to art school sorts of venues and they manage to meet people there, that's where they feel most comfortable. I think it's important to have a space where you feel safe and you feel in your element in, in terms of night life.

Spunky

Also, my heterosexual best friend has a 100% pulling record in gay bars, he met his last girlfriend in one :laugh: it's not just for gay people, it's just a place where gay people can be open and not have to be wary like they might be elsewhere

Might have more luck getting girls in gay clubs with all the LADZ being too scared to go in

I completely understand the whole comfort thing, i really do.
But i just dont think there should be a label on them.
Like this is a gay club... sorta thing.
