The_Sharp Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Originally posted by TrixieBoi Its all very well saying that, but it's ******! Gay people won't ever be able to go into a "str8" bar and pull. It's as SIMPLE AS THAT. Originally posted by nick2 Well I have, and I know several other people who have. Originally posted by TrixieBoi How did that work??

nick2 Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Originally posted by The_Sharp How did that work?? One was a friend of a friend and we just got chatting (In All Bar One), I wasn't too sure but you can throw in comments and questions to check if you're barking up the wrong tree. I met my current boyfriend in a hotel bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky_13 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 How does a bar become a gay bar in the first place? Like dempseys is now - how does it get a reputation and therefore become regularly frequented by gays (and avoided like the plague by most straight people) And as for gays pulling in a bar (only gay people seem to call them straight bars) you have to realise that being gay is still a big faux pas even though society is much more liberal than it was a few years ago. Gay people must realise that it is strange for straight people to understand their sexuality and therefore some people may resort to violence, verbal abuse etc. Not condoning it one bit - but you have to realise it is still a thing that gets 'swept under the carpet' no matter how much you would wish otherwise.

Like dempseys is now - how does it get a reputation and therefore become regularly frequented by gays (and avoided like the plague by most straight people) Word of mouth, plus gay magazines and newspapers publish the details. Dempeys does have a reputation - but for some it's a dire reputation! In fairness, I've never been to Dempseys - as I object to the door charge they apparently impose.

I think gay people all too readily understand the reaction of some (but not all) straight people, and that is one reason why we prefer to have our own drinking establishments. A vibrant gay scene is the answer, e.g., Manchester's Canal Street, London's Soho, Birmingham's gay village - where straight people are welcome, but gay people can relax and be at ease with their sexuality in an accommodating and friendly environment. Sadly, I don't see that happening in Sheffield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People experiment, you know the old saying "Don't knock it until you've tried it". People also get drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
