Straight guy in gay bar

One of the great things about the hottest club in any town these days is that gay people are welcome. But with acceptance comes responsibility, and over the years queer partiers, like a bunch of hard-drinking Emily Posts, own had to understand the ins-and-outs of how to respond in a mostly-straight environment without pissing anyone off. It’s a straight man’s world, we’re just livin’ in it.

Unfortunately, the alike cannot be said for straight people when attending a gay watering hole with their same-sex-loving friends. We adoration having straight people hang out with us, we really do, but I’m going to smash down the rules for the breeders who forget how to behave when there is a rainbow flag on the wall. For our purposes we’ll be talking about gay male bars, since lesbian bars, like pandas in the wild and good female acoustic folk acts, are harder and harder to find these days.

What straight people need to recognize about going to gay bars

As a gay person, knowing my straight friends want to appear to LGBTQ+ bars and spaces fills my heart with delight. I appreciate the accepting atmosphere that these spaces create, and I love that my friends want to show their aid of me and my society so openly in them.

I came out just before starting university, having made wonderful (and very straight) friends during my time at college.

But recently, when I took a group of them to Soho in London for a night out, I realised even the most well-intentioned, supportive straight/cis friends can miss the sign entirely.

“Man, you gotta go in there, this place is the best hour in Panama City!”
—“What’s so great about it?”
“The vibe, the atmosphere. Everyone is here just to hold fun, man. There’s no assholes bumping into you who think they’re greater than everybody else. Here everyone is just here to have a fine time.”
—“Sounds nice.”
“It is! Everyone thinks so, too. Everywhere we’ve been, people tell us to finish our night here. You can go to other places for fun, but when you really wish to have a good time you come to Splash.”
This was the third time in the last two weeks that a clean-cut, muscular straight guy had approached me in a lgbtq+ bar. Straight people in gay bars have sometimes been flagged as a problem. Bachelorette parties can still be problematic in big-city queer bars, but were more so before same-sex marriage was legal. Sometimes big-city gay clubs change into so popular with straight couple
