JTH, I have no issue with gay bars, used to drink regularly in a bar in Bruxelles affectionately known by the British as the Tranny Arms. What I do have a problem with is, as in this case, where help is given in preference. It is wrong and not only that it brings Gay Bars to the fore for every nutter with a grievance.

Am I right in thinking we have had fifty or so contributions from dear sweet knowledgeable articulate AOG on what it is like to go and drink in a gay bar ....

They stared at me and I felt very unwelcome. I had one quick drink and left. I was careful not to drop a £1 coin as I would have had to kick it 50 yards down the road before I would dare to bend over to pick it up! ;-)

Why ask ZM I will tell you that is absolute tosh.
My scant knowledge of gay bars has been gathered from sp1814's descriptions, and as a self confessed gay person I think that he would know.

Neither of those things apply.

I hope oldies are allowed in, too. I've just been catching up on this thread, and I keep reading about young gay people being able to meet each other etc. I'm neither young nor gay but I might want want to have a drink and a chat, would I be allowed in? :)
