Dear Gay Men, Stop Telling Women They Can't Be in Gay Bars!

Article is from 2017, but this topic is still highly debated. What are your thoughts?

* * *

"I know this might surprise you, but in 2017, women can go anywhere we want to! And furthermore, we don't need your approval to do it! When I see these kinds of discussions on social media, there are usually a few men who comment something like, "I love bringing my girls to the club!" Well, that's nice, but not only do women not need your approval to be somewhere, we also don't need you to take us anywhere. We know how to drive, get on the subway, flag down a cab, or download Uber."

"I see it on my Facebook feed every couple of months: a gay man complaining about women in gay bars. Sometimes it's a complaint about annoying bachelorette parties who harass and tokenize men who are simply trying to dance and hook up. Sometimes it's a guy saying he doesn't feel comfortable having sex at a sex party if there are women around. Sometimes it's some older gay man saying, "There should be no fish allowed." That is seriously a comment on saw on a Facebook post this week."

"Dear gay men, stop telling women they can't be in gay bars."

Totally agreed, all! I've had some very masculine lesbian friends who were more like gay men than most gay men. They could quote Bette Davis and sing along with Sondheim, and they didn't beg us to go shopping with them! The hen party fraus need to create their own straight male free spaces and stop exploiting the gay men who really want nothing to do with them.

I've been to many bars in my time, and have seen many "drunk" incidents occur from both sexes but any real rowdy, obnoxious behavior has always been straight women.

by Anonymousreply 7March 1, 2019 5:57 PM

I remember going to Musical Monday's at Splash years ago, and there was a large assortment of young women with their gay friends. It didn't bother me because everybody was singing along to Liza, Barbra, Judy and Bette (these are names we shan't forget), but one really drunk girl sitting near me, looking like she was about to throw up, just out of the blue asked if we could be best friends. I looked at her, smiled sympathetically at her ('cause I've been drunk too and don't judge anyone for that), and responded, "No. I take friendship very seriously, and it grows over time." She just said "OK", and went back to her cosmo. It was very sad, like they had no life outside of their gay friends.

Of course they can go to,gay bars, legally. But why would they want to? Also, any big group is going to be jarring in a way that a single woman wouldn't be. I'd feel the same about a big group of straight guys, even cute ones. I certainly wouldn't go with a group of gay guys to a straight bar.

R17 Perhaps this topic gets rehashed because the problem doesn't seem to go away. Female entitlement needs to be addressed, and gay venues end up being targeted by the worst of the lot. R18 You have my sympathy for being a victim of their misandry. Where I go in Manhattan, the staff is more cognizant to the issues that straight women in their hen parties cause. Yelp reviews reflect the entitlement of women who have gone there and not gotten the attention they demanded by either the staff or the clientele. This issue will never go away unless gay men step up and let these women know that they won't get away with their actions. When I've even spotted any of these women approaching where I am, I quickly get into a conversation with a neighbor, and when they interrupt, I politely tell them I'm in the middle of a conversation and immediately turn away. I don't need to touch them, and if they touch me, I immediately move away from them. I once had a frau literally pull my hand away from my ears because I covered it in order not to be a victim to her caterwauling. I immediately told her she was out of line, and she quickly moved away.

We fought for equality and that means sharing space with women in bars.

Back in the day gay bars were really cool. A few women got in, we thought they were all lesbians, so we tolerated them. Then when we gained equality and me and my boyfriend couldn't be turned away from a straight bar, that meant quid pro quo that straight ladies couldn't be turned away from gay bars. And so the vibe of them has changed. Instead of gorgeous hot guys, there are batchelorette parties. That;'s progress for you.

Anyway...welcome ladies.

Two of the oldest gay bars in DC are up for sale: Green Lantern and the Eagle. Both have had women sue, shove their way in and demand "their rights". Fuck you. You destroyed the last of the two places that were for gay men. Just like every damn thing else, straight women think only of themselves and what they want. They could give two shits in a paper bag who gets hurt.

I've had the damn women put their hands down my pants, grab my balls - it's all fun to them. It's a fag bar. You think these bitches are "allies" - you're an idiot. They're locusts. They won't give a thought to a gay bar they've run out of business. They move on to the next place.

But in various sorts of places its getting there. I know I've been in large groups with majority straight men but supported enough that they'd quickly punch a bigot's lights out (or step aside for me to lay into them), if the circumstance would arise (it hasn't, but close a couple times).

R31 oh THIS again.

No, the reason is because, as you just demonstrated, women have no fucking clue about men and sex. The perspective coming from your statement demonstrates that in spades.

Would your gay friend still like you if he knew what a little bitch you are, saying things about how jealous we are supposed to be of you?

You don't understand men, you don't understand sex. You don't understand men and sex. Whatever the fuck it is that you do with your pussy (on your terms, no doubt, not the man's) - that's not sex. That's what females think sex with a man is.

And with that limited knowledge, you don't have any business in the highly male, highly sex charged environment of a gay bar, because you don't know what you're even looking at, or the reasons behind it, or the understanding between the men involved.

It's not your playground, it's not your observatory, it's not your science lab where you witness alien phenomena, it's not your zoo.

Fortunately the gay bar I go to in Manhattan only rarely has visitors from the straight female community and they realize quite quickly that the regular customers are annoyed by their caterwauling and attempts to take over. Even when they try to be friendly, they come off as shrewish. We have women regulars who have been coming there for years, and they know how to act without necessarily fading into the background. But when the tour busses of fraus enter, it turns the atmosphere into something shrill and nasty. Even one frau among a group of young gaylings can make you feel like nails are being run down the chalkboard. Their vocal fry and screeching is more than just unpleasant and annoying. The management is aware that their longtime customers are annoyed by this, so they go out of their way to keep an eye on the ones who seem to be trouble. More fraus are asked politely to leave than the drunken men because of they react simply to being ignored.

R69 Back in the late 80's, everybody I knew in West Hollywood loved Studio One. We'd go to a show in the Backlot then go to the dance floor. I remember liking the decor, especially the giant aquarium in the front bar (once you came up the stairs), but the drinks were terrible. It wasn't that they were weak; They just used the cheapest well liquor, and it tasted it. They changed their names so many times that eventually people stopped going because of the opening of Mickey's on the main drag they just forgot it was there. I always preferred Mickey's (which replaced the Four Star) over Studio One and Rage because they had friendlier bar staff (at the time), and they stopped cover at midnight which meant you could hang out at Trunks, the Revolver or Mother Lode, get nice & tipsy there (ML & Trunks were notorious for very strong drinks and had bartenders that would buy rounds), then go sweat it off at Mickeys. Every time certain artists came on (Madonna before she became "too much", Gloria Estefan, the Pet Shop Boys, Erasure), we'd down our cocktail and run onto the dance floor. At the time, only women friends came in for the most part, and the occasional straight women weren't as bad as they are now. Or perhaps I just had more tolerance at the time. Irregardless, I have incredible memories of 1988-1995 in West Hollywood, working at the video store there and getting comp'd at various clubs because I also worked part time at the Revolver.

I realized at the start of the millennium that it has become necessary to keep your sexuality from the people you work with, simply because the acceptance of gays and the popularity of that stupid Carrie Bradshaw show has given straight females the psychological misunderstanding that they will be the belle of the ball in gay bars. Every time I've become friendly with a straight woman of a certain age at work and confide in them, they want to know where I hang out and at some point will want to "hang out".

Only one out of five on average know how to act in gay bars, and a lot of times, want to drag you out on the lunch hour to go shopping with them. I had to tell one aggressive broad that I am not a "personal shopper". It is quite assumptive of them to think that being gay makes you an expert on fashion, or even care about it. I got tired of being exploited by them. My women friends at work are the ones nearing retirement.

R78 I'd have no issue in publishing the name, but I don't want to jinx it and have them start showing up and creating a nuisance when it is only on occasion that it happens. I've learned that the best way to deal with them is to completely ignore their presence, especially if they are going out of their way to get the attention of my friends and I. I'll reveal that it is more of a cabaret than a bar, and that there is a dance floor as well as piano and lounge area. One word of advice: avoid Marie's Crisis: It is frau hell, and the vocal fry is causing dogs to bark in Albany. When the frau's have come in with their hen parties, they push their way through to the front of where the entertainment occurs, swipe people's seats (tossing their coats on the floor), and get angry when the regular customers (of which there are a lot of) ignore them. Back before 2000, it wasn't as bad, and fortunately, now it only happens on rare occasions. When it does, even the staff is noticeably annoyed, and as a result, the Yelp reviews written by the female invaders are generally bad, even though I've never really had a bad time there except when THEY show up.

I do see some straight women at gay women bars, usually with their boyfriends. They generally are pretty cool. It’s a good thing when a straight woman sees gay women who are feminine and so called straight acting. It breaks stereotypes.

Another major issue I see is how the straight women (rarely ever men) pull out their phones and start videotaping the activities going on. It just shows how stupid these fraus are with their entitlement, thinking that they are groovy, trendy, hip, whatever era word you want to use, then post it on YouTube or Facebook to be considered "with it". They are intruding on people who are there for privacy and who may not want their private lives splashed all over the internet. Employers will see these pictures and videos and on occasion recognize somebody who works for them, and thus that person is outed against their will and sometimes fired with cause. When I used to dress up for Halloween, my friends and I made a point: no picture taking from strangers. A few times, they actually stalked us because we ignored them, taking pictures against our will. A black lady I knew in East Harlem found tourists taking pictures of her just because she looked "of the hood", no asking permission or anything. She gave them the finger and made nasty faces. It is intrusive and there is no excuse for them. So fuck off you Instagram bitches. Nobody wants to be in your fucking video.

The misogyny on this thread is through the roof! And not every man who goes to a ‘gay’ bar is exclusively gay ffs. Many of even the most visabily queer men are bisexual. Gay bars are a safe space for everyone to be themselves. Be that gay, straight, bi, and trans. And I think some of you blind gay men would be shocked at the ‘het’ sex or flirting that goes on in many of these bars.

Not every queer man hates women, you know. In fact threads like these make some of us want to move more along the Kinsey scale....and stay there.

R140 how have I missed he point? Much of the hatred at women in ‘gay’ bars is plain misogyny. There is also an assumption that they ‘cock block’. Well not every guy who likes going to these bars is only there for dick. Some of us are also attracted to women. How about grow up and not be so childish. No woman can cock block you if he other guy is really into you. Perhaps he just isn’t into you?

Live and let live. Sure some bachelorette party type women and annoying and change the vibe of a place, but that doesn’t excuse the misogyny. And there is no need for this bizarre homo-fascist exclusionary shit. Create a safe safe for all queer people that’s all. And as I said, many DL’s love in a strange bubble. Most people who aren’t straight, aren’t exactly gay. It’s a shade in between, so this ‘men and only men, fuck off fish’ is silly.

Or someone spouts nauseating SJW nonsense, you [a gay man] rightfully add your own take on the BS, and the original speaker shuts you down because low and behold, that speaker is "queer!" or "LGBTQ!"

To the annoying bitch who squawked the moment she stumbled into a piano bar on Saturday night and literally tried to spread all of her belongings onto the piano so she could make a show of tipping the piano player, you are the type of frau we do not need or want in gay bars. You are an embarrassment to women, let alone the hypocrisy you bring in by claiming to "love your gays".

You are the type of person who will be kicked out, ignored, not allowed to hop up on the piano like Michelle P-Feiffer, then write a bad review on Yelp the minute you stagger home of how misogynistic gay bars are in spite of how misandrist you are. In spite of how wonderful and supportive some women are, there are many the gay male community does not want to see darken the door of their hang-out.

To the female who had to flash her sagging tits at the same piano bar a few weeks ago then got upset when people just turned away, it's not just your tits we don't want to see. It's the entitlement which makes you ruin the evening of people who are just trying to relax and have fun. When the fraus visit a gay male space, it isn't about them, not under any circumstance.

I have a memory of one of the big, popular gay bars in NYC not allowing women after a certain time unless they were accompanied by a (presumably) gay man. I want to say it was Splash? Does that sound right or familiar to anyone?

Anyway, I’d be happy with any gay bar employing this policy. But now with all the “fluidity”, and “self identification”, and of course the trannies, I’d wager it would be impossible.

R228 I'm sure when gay tourists visit certain cities for the very first time, they look at Yelp reviews. There used to be gay guides for particular big cities. I referred to both Spartacus and the book devoted to NYC the first time I went. After a certain club in New York got some bad publicity, I noticed a string of nasty reviews on Yelp and wrote one to help build it back up from that bad publicity because management all of a sudden changed. The bar had maybe one slow weekend after that, but word got around that it was still a fun place to go, that is except when the cows come home.

And by the cows, I'm referring to the fraus, not what happens when Judy Garland decides to go on singing.

The thing is that most gay men don't want to go to female spaces, unless they are so insecure that they can't be anywhere that isn't dominated by the frau's. When I go to the theater, it is usually the women who are acting up, having their phone on or talking after the show has started. It's usually the vocal fry twit-wit females under the age of 45 who have the class of a sow in heat. Those are the ones who "adopted" the shy young gay boys, simply so they could have someone to "smother", and as a result, those young gay men never mature past their age of arrested development.

Bars are forced to let them in out of fear of bad publicity through social media attacks and even legal ramifications. Customers are not forced to accept them. I've seen the stank eye they get when they come in and how they are quickly given the cold shoulder and made to feel unwelcome. The minute you hear that yowling screech at the entrance, you know your evening is about to be shattered (as well as your ears), and the only way for them to be forced to leave is for the customers to band together and not let them force themselves through to get to the bar in front of others who were already waiting, for them to be blocked by those already on the dance floor by taking over their space, and for them not to be allowed to barge their way to the front of a stage, band, piano or any type of entertainment going on. I've talk to bartenders, managers and busboys, and they hate them as much as the customers. Ladies are fine, but the hen parties need to be made into soup.

R264 I don't think anybody is referring to you or any woman (straight or gay) who goes to a gay man's bar with their gay male friends. The controversy is over hen parties and the type of females who act up when they invade gay male space with the intention of taking over. There are many decent women who relate more to gay men than to other straight women and they are not there to patronize or fetish us. They are there because they are one of us.

If you view the type of female which is described here in great detail, you will see (hopefully) that this does not reflect your personality and accept how gay men feel when the type of female who invades gay male spaces goes to far in their efforts to get attention or try to take over. If you go in and are just there to have fun and not impede on anybody else's fun or screech and holler like the described females talked about here do, then you may end up making new friends in additions to the ones you have. I have several "lady" friends who come in, enjoy the atmosphere, don't act all entitled, and know when to leave their male friends alone and not try to interfere with potential dates they may end up with. The reason this thread exists is because of the negative original article and why many gay men are bashing it and the types of women who can turn a night at the gay bar into a night of horror.

If you go into a gay bar like Maude did (to show the bigoted Dr. Arthur Harmon that he was overreacting), then you are cool. Just make sure to try the scrumptious yummies! Just remember, that Dr. Arthur Harmon was also a charter member of "Fathers Against Gays" (F.A.G.)

R267 You are welcome. I could tell you'd be understanding. Certainly, there are some misogynistic posts here, but there have also been some nasty misandrist ones as well, and neither misogyny or misandry are acceptable. It is unfortunate that the gay community has had to build some psychological barriers, but I can't count how many times some drunken female has touched me in certain places against my will (not that I'd ever give my will), slapped me upside the head for ignoring them or let them cut in front of me, screeched in my ear, drunkenly begged me to be their "gay" (really offensive, but more in the sense that it makes them look like an idiot), and just treated the male customers as if they were in a petting zoo.

A lot of us prefer the days before we became "main stream" and were more "fringe". I can be friends with anybody as long as they are respectful, not overly familiar upon the first meeting, but after over a decade of witnessing what I consider tacky behavior by loud groups of women, I can understand the need to speak out against it. I would feel the same if any gay man tried to treat me inappropriately against my will, especially after I'd politely asked them to stop. I deal with that every time I go out because class is something that is embedded in you, and excessive alcohol for some closes up their inhibitions and makes them become who they really are deep inside.

R278 I've actually never had issues with straight GUYS in gay bars, only straight FEMALES. That being said, the management of gay bars needs to step up, survey their regular customers, and get ideas of how to tone back the obnoxious behavior of these invaders from the planet of the Twit-Wits. But I can certainly offer advice to those wondering how to deal with them. The simple answer is DON'T, unless you are 100% certain that they are not a frau or unwanted invader. I document my experience in R268, and I should add that I've also made the mistake of engaging a visitor who seemed cool but then all of a sudden had to get rid of because they demanded that I buy them a drink, and began to get belligerent when I declined, saying that they had already drank WAY too much. Fortunately, security witnessed their behavior, and knowing me as a regular, "escorted" this young drunkard off the premise.

I have to work on myself every day even in my regular business dealings to keep myself from becoming misogynistic because of what I witness and what I read in the news. When I go out for a relaxing evening with friends, the last thing I want is my hang-out to become the stomping ground of obnoxious females who think that they are being oh so cool but then show who they really are when out socially. I avoid men who are this way socially, and certainly when the packs come in of these "woo" girls, it becomes all the more difficult to get away from them. I refuse to give up my social life and find another space because of these situations. R270 felt the need to apologize for the behavior of women, but she didn't need to take that step, as SHE is NOT the problem. The reason this situation needs to be constantly re-addressed is that the situation hasn't changed except in the sense that in my experience when it does happen, it is getting worse. R215 expresses how awful these experiences can be for the crowd of regulars when just one frau tries to make the night "all about her".
