Should there be gay clubs?
 

I mean, I, personally, do not agree with them at all. I go once in a blue moon because i HATE the vibe. It always feels like everyone has to shag everyone or someone has to pull just because your in a gay club - it does NOTHING for gay stereotypes.

Also, most importantly, Gay people are putting themselves into a separate category and stereotyping themselves for going to these clubs because their 'gay clubs', arguing that they should be allowed to fit in and should be able to walk the streets without abuse, yet they are segregating themselves into one lousy place.

If there were such a thing called 'straight clubs' they would be a big uproar.

I just genuinley dont understand it, its a huge contradiction and should be gone.

There is no need to have straight clubs really though is there, basically every club in the world is a straight club

if it's not for you it's not for you. don't see why you want to make sweeping generalizations about them though.

I'm not into straight strip clubs, but i don't give a **** if other people enjoy them.

go where you wanna go. period.

I enjoy myself when i go there but i just don't agree with the whole point of it all. I dont give a **** if other people enjoy them either but its a huge contradiction.

I get where you are coming from with the segregation thing tbh

However in my entirely selfish opinion...yes there should be gay clubs, as its a better night out in them and you tend to get no trouble :laugh:

i've never heard of a gay club that doesn't let in straight people, so i don't even know exactly what you are disagreeing with.

they exist as a place for gay people to feel accepted and meet other gay people -- it's your choice if you want to hook up with someone but i think it's a good thing, plus straight people are allowed in

but gay clubs don't only allow in gay guys, it's not like you've got to suck a dick to get in


It's just an easy way to meet other gay people, in a "normal" nightclub if you can't tell you might get punched :shrug:

the whole idea of them, if you dont know what im saying then theres no point me explaining again.

yeah but going back to what i said..

'allowed in' yes i know their allowed in but why should a sexuality even come into it? A club is a club and should remain a club. That's like putting a sign onto a coffee shop saying ' gays welcome' were all human, so why does it have to be straight this and gay that i just dont get it!

I understand the comfort and accepted etc but if gay people want to be equal then why all this seperate stuff thats aimed just at gay people?

Having said that, me and gav were turned away from a gay bar years back for being straight..so it does happen. Just not often as we have had no problem since then.

However it has to be said, that this particular club had a 'blacks only' room too upstairs (you did not have to be gay to go in the black room) where our gay mates who we had been out with were turned away from on the same night, so they werent the most tolerant of people to begin with. This has all been done away with now though, which I am glad about.

It was a strange night.

maybe they were trying to be nice saying it was because you were "straight"... no offense...

:laugh2:

No idea what you mean by this, but the need to add no offense implies that offense was intended :suspect:

This.

Nothing wrong with them... also, re: the cheap and easy sex argument... have you been to a normal club? It was quite common to see girls blowing guys on dancefloors in my first year at uni :laugh:

well thank god you aren't propagating them :suspect:

going back to the point

I'll fly past your term of a 'normal' club.

Yeah it happens everywhere but just because your in a gay club doesnt mean you want to shag everything.

Meh not a fan of gay clubs, have been to them, have a good laugh on the odd times I do/have, but I'm not into the scene and bitchy queens and drag queens in general piss me off.

this!

I get that some gay guys are though, each to their own and all, it's just not who I am.

I know that, but clubs compacts a lot of them in one place, and it really isn't my scene.

agree

There does seem to be a disproportional amount of 'stereotypical' gays/lesbians frequenting gay bars. Its probably because its harder for them to 'fit in' elsewhere I guess. Most gay guys I know prefer 'straight' bars but this might be because they dont screech loudly, jump up and down and clap like a seal whenever a lady gaga song comes on. I suspect if someone went on like that in a 'straight' bar, rightly or wrongly they would get odd looks which would make them feel uncomfortable...

basically what we all need is more bear bars
