 what's this gay bar? saint ex? i thought it was mixed? or were you at hamburger marys? cuz that's definitely full of gay men and the girls that love them.

Were you outside waiting for someone or trying to sell their ticket? One of our lot bailed on us at the last minute so I sold his ticket at the door and spoke to a lady there who had been waiting longer so I offered for her to sell her ticket first. Was that you?
 
 I don't remember the name of the bar but it's right on the corner of 14th and somethingorother street on the same side as the Black Cat, about 2 blocks up towards U. I assumed it was all gay or they wouldn't have thought we were gay and shown us pic's of men waving their schlongs at us. The doorman is a tall skinny bloke with a bald head and lamb chop sideburns....which looks utterly stupid by the way.

yep, i think that was me. sounds like you were at saint ex. always thought it was a mixed crowd, but if they were handing out playing cards with naked men, with no naked women, me thinks perhaps it caters to a gay crowd. but perhaps its gay night on friday night now that the panic parties are no longer being held there?

what is it with women and gay men? My wife wants a gay best friend too. I'm assuming it's because there's no sexual tension whatsoever. Men and gay women don't have the same thing do they...we'd only hang out with them because of the slim chance we'd see them kissing each other or they'd give us a show in the bedroom.

well there are fag hags, straight women who hang out with gay guys... i read recently about fag stags, straight guys who hang out with gay guys.  straight guys who like to cut loose at a gay dance club once in awhile. behavior which in a straight club would be considered gay, but other straight guys.  and to be able to pickup fashion and decorating tips.   it's also easier for a straight guy to pickup a straight women in a gay bar.  women have their guard down there and are more approachable.

well I am no "fag stag" but will admit the atmosphere in a gay bar is usually much better than in a straight bar.
