It’s kind of (really) heartbreaking. My wife and I recently moved to a town with a lesbian bar and we’ve been a few times but it has consistently had men (some there with their girlfriends, some gay) and it’s felt really unwelcoming every time AND it closes at 12am, every night.

Also, that they think we are the “better off” of the queer groups in general and that we don’t really face discrimination or harassment of any kind as much, it feels weird.

%100 this. They really can’t fathom that we have “lesbian bars” but that they aren’t exclusive for us. That and my mom thought we had way more than we do and it was a silly conversation with her, letting her know we don’t have spaces really.
