Do the bouncers just let them in? If I owned a gay bar, I'd be careful to actually cater to my clients. I wouldn't sacrifice long term reputation and community just because some drunk hetero women want to objectify gay men and/or women. (Do bachelorette parties visit Lesbian bars? My assumption is no, but I freely admit that's a guess)
What do the bachelorette parties do that's annoying to you? How do they act?
Are the parties full of women who want "safe" men to dance with?
Some do, but not every bar has a bouncer, and even then it’s hard to blanket-ban on suspicion.
There aren’t any lesbian bars, sadly, but I would expect bachelorettes to hit them if they existed. The point seems to be “act slutty and let their guard down without risk”. (Though as a gay woman I have a whole separate rant about straight women in gay bars.)
I have some sympathy for them. The whole point of gay bars is having fun and expressing one’s sexuality without risk. But each party is having a “once in a lifetime” drunken blowout, while for the rest of the bar it’s just a Friday. Also they bring extreme straight energy.
It used to be less common, but then their behaviour was worse when gay culture was less mainstream and they treated it like going on safari. It was also galling when they invaded our space to celebrate marriage when we couldn’t marry, then turned around and voted Republican.
Every other club every day has straight energy. Every movie you watch, every book you read.
The point of a gay bar is a homonormative space. And since gay people are outnumbered 20:1, and heteronormativity is the cultural constant, a place where gay is the norm is incredibly valuable.
And I don’t think for one second that you think nobody complains about the presence of visibly gay people everywhere’s else.
I don’t even know why I’m responding to this rage-baiting. I hope you get downvoted into oblivion.
...Assuming all 12 buses are in operating Fri - Sun in a given weekend. Seems a bit of a stretch, but then again GPT claims there are 500 parties a weekend. Seems like a nice niche. Kudos to him.
In the second picture in this article -- the one that's split in two with a diagonal line -- the fourth person from the left is giving the "OK" hand gesture.
It doesn’t matter how it started, it matters what it actually stands for now. In the case of that hand gesture, it really has been used intentionally by actual white supremacists (though I would argue that the woman in this particular photo might just be playing “the circle game” or something equally innocuous)
It has been used intentionally by white supremacists—that is true. But it has also been used by lots of people for lots of things—that was the reasoning behind the original troll, before the nationalists started doing it for real. I don’t think it would be appropriate to interpret it as being used as a white nationalist symbol without further context.
"Just a joke bro" is the bad actor's go-to defence. It doesn't wash any more. Even if it is just a joke, it provides cover for true assholes. Cut it out.
Q was never a 4chan "meme". Q was a tripcode user who would post cryptic messages on 4chan. The anonymous users eventually began mocking Q because they were wrong. Then some group infiltrators got right wing groups hung up on it because it was a great psyop boomer, "do nothing good guys got this" troll job.
Edit: The bachelorettes are the plague, not the gay bars. I assume they also blight straight bars, I just don’t go to those.
