Honestly, why would I even want to get a drink in a gay bar? I would have to be dying of thrist.
-
Absolutely not. Discrimination stinks
-
no and the opposite shouldn't happen either. i love going to gay bars because its one of the only bars where i can dance to good music without being groped or harrased by drunk men.
-
Hell no. How would gay people feel if they were banned from straight bars? Besides, how are you going to prove to the man at the door that you're gay anyway?

You should never exclude a group of people because of stereotypes. Not all heterosexuals go to gay clubs just to cause trouble. And when a gay guy goes to a straight bar, not all beer swilling hairy backed beer bellied football obssessed heterosexual males need to fear that a gay guy will make a move on them. Bars and other public places need to be able to control their environment by dealing with people and their behaviors individually, not according to stereotypes, and exclude anyone who is disruptive.

No they should not, but, it's not like straight people are trying to take over the gay scene now is it?

What if? Like anyone who grabs my buttocks without permission, I would ask her to remove her hands immediately. This has happened a few times. Not all gay people are sex-crazed buffoons. I've had a lot more men try to grab by buttocks. They were just as out of line. But I don't think all straight men are like that, any more than I think all gay men (or women) are like that.
-
Not any more then straights shoul be allowed to keep them out of straight bars. This is just getting ridiculous.

No, they shouldn't - no more so than other bars should be allowed to ban homosexuals, Blacks or Irish or any other 'group'. This is not like the smoking issue where smokers can actually endanger other peoples health by their activities. However, I do understand some of the logic behind it - some gays that I know have remarked on heterosexual women coming into gay bars to have fun (which is fine), but also bringing their partners or heterosexual male friends with them, who don't take kindly to homosexuals trying to pick them up. I think that if you're in a gay bar, you've got to be open minded enough to be able to turn someone down without resorting to bigottry, and equally, you have to be aware that not everybody is in a bar just to get 'picked up'.

I'd be disapinted.IT's the only type of place I am able to have fun.:-))
-
Sure. And a womens only bar should be able to forbid entrance to men. An Irish bar should be able to forbid entrance to Canadians. A singles bar should be alble to forbit entrance to married. Call it a 'Club,' and you can make your own rules about who can and can not enter. No big deal, really.

only if gay people are banned from straight bars....but that would start another civil war and that would be bad.lol
-
Meh, probably not, but me personally, it wouldn't really bother me. I'm not exactly dieing to go to a gay bar though. But I know a lot of girls who do like to go to gay bars. I'm more curious how the bouncer would determine who's gay and who's straight? Would he look at people and just say "you don't look gay enough, hit the road!" Or would he ask people at the door "You gay?" Really, if someone wanted to get in that badly, wouldn't they just lie? "you gay?" "nope." "you can't come in." "O wait, turns out I am." "Alright then, come on in."
-
Nooo some of my best nights out are in the gay bar in town....where else can i do bar dancing lol.
-
no... they will find the exit soon enough!
-
Of course not.
-
No. That's discrimination. And that's exactly what a gay person would say if they weren't allowed to enter a bar based on sexual orientation.
-
i don't see why not
