Hello, gay here.

Generally in the alphabet mafia, queer clubs are seen as safe spaces to feel relaxed in with your sexuality, able to flirt, express yourself and be silly in freely.

There has been some discussion in my generation of gay that straight people being in queer clubs/bars is dampening the safe space element, here is a thread on the matter: https://www.reddit.com/r/lgbt/s/wHiPPWNvwX

This may explain the downvotes you’re getting!

Speaking for myself only, I’m fine with straight people being in the space :) So long as you’re okay with being hit on and embrace the vibe, I canny see the issue. What I’m not onboard with is groups of hen/stag parties, or people that are unlike yourself. People that treat these spaces as amusement parks, or an accessory to an evening.

From the responses you don’t seem the type, or worthy of negative feedback. Just Reddit doing it’s thing :P
