straight peeps in gay bars seems to = trouble :(

I've been to gay bars before but mainly with my gay friends. I would quite happily go to a gay bar with straight friends too.

I think the main problem is that Rainbows is quite close to Broad Street so the usual people will get drunk, think they can find some pasty at a gay bar and head down only to be disappointed.

I think they would probably have a fight at any club, not just a gay bar!

Well, that's just not good enough to prove you're gay. I suggest a policy of requiring snog and grope for proof. Maybe a blowjob to be on the safe side.

It is an issue, but as you point out it's impossible to realistically require proof of homosexuality before letting people in. As well as the impracticality of it, many places don't want to discriminate that way anyway and it probably wouldn't be a good idea economically either.
 
I used to pop along to a London club night when I wasn't in the mood for the usual lads night out. It's basically easy pickings; there's lots of single woman with minimal competition.

Only problem I found was with lesbians; they'd temporarily turn bi for you then have a crisis of faith!
 
For a good time, gay bars are much better than 'normal' bars. Lots of dancing, having a laugh with everyone without having angry mr 'I'm alpha and you're eyeing up my bird' kicking up a stink. Plus not all the women are lesbians, some are bi. :D

Though it depends how you feel about your female friends drooling over the good-looking gay blokes the whole evening. :)
 
I've been to a gaybar before - got dragged out by female housemates who were going with their gay friends - just ended up dancing with my flatmates and then just sat at the bar for a bit having a few beers and chatting to the bouncer while flatmates and their gay friends (assumed bouncer was straight - turned out he wasn't at the end of the night as he slipped me a bit of paper with his number on :eek: )

I reckon the fighting thing could be a bit 50/50 tbh... those guys might well be the sort who'd pick a fight regardless of the club they're in - also gay guys can be a bit more forward - it isn't unheard of for a guy to get slapped for grabbing a girl's ass - a gay guy trying similar or more to a random straight guy could well end up getting shoved back and the whole thing escalating. Obv the straight guy should be more tolerant given the venue but perhaps the gay guys shouldn't always be so forward - I'd guess not every gay guy appreciates that sort of approach either.
 
I go to the gay bar because I can have a couple of extra hours drinking and theres a curry bar next door :D

I got into some trouble with a gay guy when I wouldn't come to the toilets with him, nutter, really. But what are you gonna do?
And some guy trying to set me up with his tranny mate, i said to him, sorry I'm not gay and that is obviously a bloke.

It's ok though.
 
I avoid gay bars, I'm just far too terrified by the idea of cottaging to go anywhere near them.

Be gay, by all means mince to your hearts content, call be old fassioned but I'm just a little put off by the idea of being within meters of two guys doing the dirty in a public toilet.
 
Sometimes uncomfortable but that is down to some guys just not getting the picture after being told NO a number of times. If you get one of these then make your point very clear.

Otherwise I've always had a good time and makes a nice change on the occassions I have been.
 
Went to 2 different gay bars in North Carolina while visiting my sister and her gay house mate. A few of us went out and the first bar we went we all felt slightly uncomfortable, even the gay bloke with us as it was full of leery men. We then headed to the lesbian bar and had a such a laugh, especially when they bouncer couldn't find my DOB on my driving licence. Ended up chatting to a few random people as soon as they heard my English accent.
 
It's one of those things. A bunch of straight guys going to a gay bar won't be a problem, as long as they behave. If they're there to have a good time, then it'll be great - gay bars and clubs tend to be more "fun" than their straight equivalents. But, if they are there for the novelty, then that novelty can become an issue. Gay people are there having a life, and aren't there for the personal entertainment of the passers by. If you're straight and going to one, especially a club, then you have to be prepared to see guys kissing and fondling with each other, and that is more common between two guys in a gay club than a guy and a gal in a straight club. If you think you might take offence, don't go.

I personally have no issue with straight people going to gay bars and clubs. Quite often the bouncers will spot the bad groups and stop them coming in anyway... but that's my experience in London.

Is that true? I find it surprising that they have legislated over banning them from toilets when plenty of other laws could be used to prosecute men from using women's toilets inappropriately.

Can you quote the law please?
 
I don't know :p only assuming since they are created separate - otherwise councils would cut costs and make them unisex surely?

I think it's a matter of taste & decency thing really, women don't want to be doing their lippy whilst we trundle in and **** down the wall after having a skinfull...

And really, would one council really be 'brave' (or indeed stupid) enough to be the first ones to suggest scrapping separate toilets for unisex ones? There'd be an outcry! However, I do know of a 'normal' (it's not a gay bar) bar in Aberdeen that has unisex toilets in it...

I think it would be a civil matter and not a criminal one if it was ever taken to the courts...However, I've never studied 'Lavvy Law'.

You'd more than likely be ejected from a licenced premises for it, but I don't think there's specific legislation regarding it, male/female cleaners etc can go in the other sex's toilets although usually with appropriate signage to warn people. Working as a doorman it's reasonably commonplace for me to have to go into the womens toilets, although if it's avoidable it will be avoided.

Not sure what the legality of it has to do with anything anyway? I'd say having sex in a public toilet breaks more laws than being in the toilets of the wrong gender.
