I keep thinking about that straight girls in gay bars post and so hereās a list of things that straight people have done to me or around me in gay bars
I ask a pretty girl if she wants to dance. She looks at me with disgust and says,Ā āIām not gayā in the snottiest valley girl voice Iāve ever heard.Ā
A short greasy dude will not leave me the fuck alone at the bar. I tell him multiple timesĀ āI am a lesbian.ā He says,Ā āme tooā and in the same breath tells me Iāll like it if I try it. When the guy steps away to talk to his friend, three gay men surround me and buy me a drink and swear to keep him away from me for the rest of the night.
2am, drunk, cheering on my favorite local drag queen on stage. A contestant from Dr*g R*ce is in the audience, hanging out, supporting her friends. The straight girls next to me spot her and start shrieking at the top of their lungs and trying to get to her. Security escorts the contestant elsewhere so no one could get near her. Not a single straight person in the audience tips any of the performing queens.Ā
Iām by myself on the dance floor, feeling myself to Bey, as you do. A man comes up to me and starts dancing. After a minute, he starts grinding on me and tries to kiss me. I put my hand in his face and tell him Iām a lesbian. He says something very vulgar that I donāt completely remember because I was drunk af.Ā I tell him to fuck off and I leave the dance floor completely. I end up on the patio with a beautiful butch girl and when I tell her what just happened, she offers to beat him up for me.Ā
A girl with a bachelorette party, telling me, with complete seriousness, that she was just discriminated against at the bar for being straight. What happened? The bartender didnāt pay attention to her immediately and she had to waitĀ āforeverā for her drink.Ā
Related: Almost every negative review of my favorite gay bar is by a straight person. At least half of them claim that the bartenders or bouncers discriminated against them.Ā
And then this one isnāt bad, it just made me laugh when it happenedĀ
Guy: hey can you ask the bartender for a drink for me? They usually pay more attention to girls
Me: oh baby not here they donāt lol
Guy: ??
Me: This is a gay bar, sweetheart
Guy: Iā¦ ohā¦ *looks at the shirtless male bartenders, the go go boys, the rainbow flags, the drag queen behind me, the glitter everywhere* *walks away in a daze*
