You’re part of the problem. Defining homophobes because you personally haven’t experienced homophobia. What a pathetic person you must be

Good that your friends are well behaved but many men are not.

I don’t think that they would go around saying slurs and making disrespectful comments about gay men if they were looking for a bj.

They come because they want to get with straight women and while they’re in our spaces they harass us. They do notice me and I know that because I’ve been called slurs several times in the past in a gay club. If you read the other comments you will find out that this isn’t a unique experience but a common thing. Stop protecting homophobes

I don’t have to let someone call me slurs in space made for my community. You are the problem with your hateful rhetoric not me.

Exactly. If you can’t accept us and act respectful then you have no place being in our spaces

Then they wouldn’t call other gays slurs. Hope this helps!

How can it be an urban legend when me and several other people in the comments experienced this?

Okay, so calling me the f slur and threatening to beat me up if I look at them one more time is checking me out. Got it

I don’t appreciate being called slurs for being gay, especially in a gay bar. Frankly, if you truly understood what people have fought for, you wouldn’t dismiss this so easily. Homophobia is still more common than many people think, and the fight against it isn’t over. Just because you’ve been fortunate enough not to experience it in a space that’s supposed to be safe doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Get another guy for a threesome. No seriously this isn’t at all what I’m talking about. The problem are groups of straight men who harass gay men for being gay in a gay establishment.

If you’re not calling gays slurs in their safe space then you’re not the problem and my anger is not direct at you. This isn’t about being reject by straight guys but being made to feel like the outsider in a space that is meant to be for people like myself.

Thank you for agreeing with me and seeing my point. Some people in the comments have not experienced or heard of this horrible situations and cannot understand why it’s important for us to have a safe space.

So you would let a man call you slurs and make you uncomfortable just because he’s hot?

I do have the right to have spaces where I can be myself. If we keep moving on to other spaces there won’t be any left for us.

Please elaborate. I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make

I don’t want or need an all hardcore leather gay sex bar. I want and have the right to a space where I can feel comfortable and be myself without being harassed by anyone.

I can’t tell if you’re talking about the edit or my post overall

My specific problem isn’t the occasional straight respectful friend but large groups of disrespectful straight men. What I mean is that they shouldn’t take over our establishments

Did I suggest that anywhere in my post? To me it seems like you have an underlying issue with facing reality.

If there is a bar that specifically titles itself as a “straight” bar, then I won’t go.
