Someone in the Wink users' group on Facebook suggested that, just for the support crew. They haven't been getting paid reliably since Will.i.am bought Wink.

I know this is hard to understand but we don't loving want straight people at the gay bar because ya'll as a group:

-Have literally every non gay bar
-misgender us, use slurs, don't understand basic shared concepts
-do "funny" sexual assault (see above)
-Still do gay and trans panic poo poo on the regular if we try to flirt or just exist near you
-constantly make things about you
-don't respect the safety of the space (outing people you see here, ask lovely questions and get offended if people tell you not to, talk about triggering things)
-try to flirt with people not into your gender ("oh your a lesbain, tri this dick!!" is poo poo people say)


And look, the community has members that act like that too, lovely people and such. And maybe you think you're "one of the good ones" and you never do anything like this. But the spaces aren't for you and frankly they have a long history of reasons to not want you there. We didn't see straight people in there when being found in a gay bar got you arrested. Drag wasn't a loving TV show when crossdressing or dressing in gender affirming clothes would ruin your life if it got out.

If you're invited, if it's some kind of reach out event, sure. That's us reaching out to you, and making a space where everyone knows the space isn't queer exclusively. If you're questioning your own gender/sexuality I'd suggest looking for something more befitting (local groups, online questioning forums, even SA if you're comfortable doing so) but if the bar's the only place it's there for you too. But if you just want to get drunk and yell slurs at every non passing person, or if you've created some kind of savior complex :getout:

Tman, you don't have to "fight the good fight" on SA, you don't have to stand up for gay bars, you're always going to find people who dislike other people and here in the little corner of the internet called something awful isn't going to make the largest impactful change. If I was in a similar position, it would frustrate me. Actually I should know, people dog pile me wherever I go, but don't end up like me, okay? Go out and be the best you you can possibly be and seek out happiness wherever you go. It's impossible to receive validation here.

I think the argument ended pretty fine actually, though your general sentiment and point are still pretty true.

Like I said I don't think anyone would really mind as long as you 1) remember you're a guest in those spaces and 2) don't make A Thing out of it, so like eh. Thanks for giving it some thought at least, that's more than a lot of people would do. There's far worse people to be mad at on the internet than Something Awful Forums Poster Thanatosian :shrug:

Yeah, but at the same time, I totally did "#NotAllBreeders" that, which is definitely the sort of thing I have pointed out as being lovely when other people do it. So, I really shouldn't be hypocritical.

Because I have a lot of single gay friends who invite me out and one of the stops will be a gay bar. Also what's the functional difference between me being gay there and not trying to gently caress anyone and me being less gay there and still not trying to gently caress anyone?

I, for one, am glad that SA has a few people still willing to pause their irony poisoned shitposting every now and then to write stuff like this. It helps for goons to have reminders every so often of where to direct the hatred born out of our own self-loathing.

I thought Grindr and other hookup apps are the reason gay bars aren't around anymore

the bars still exist but "everyone is welcome" now which is a nice idea, but piecing together a gay community is more fraught and patchwork than before since you can't assume certain places are going to be friendly. Unless you're lucky enough to live in a big city that still has unassimilated queer spaces.

There are a lot of gay bars where I live (Seattle). There are definitely ones I would consider "unassimilated," and other ones that have a much more "everyone is welcome" vibe. Is there a difference between straight people going to the former and the latter?

I think you might actually be the worst poster I've ever seen on this site, because your opinions aren't just awful in one specific way (like, say, a chud's) but you swing all over the place, and somehow miss every time.
