[MOD CUT]
@Harrier:

If you are looking for some answers to what may be a personal "dilemma" or some deep curiosity that needs to be satisfied, then go to a gay bar and get some answers.

It's very simple if you take the time to think about it. Gay men and lesbians go to gay bars for the same reasons that straight men and women go to straight bars. To dance (better music in gay bars), to meet friends, to hang out, to have a good time, maybe hook up with someone for the night, maybe meet someone for a long term relationship. Gay men and lesbians have the same exact needs/wants as hetrosexuals, except they want it with someone of the same gender. Bi-sexuals have the advantage.

I don't go to gay bars and I'm straight, but my massage therapist is a gay wiccan guy, does that count?

Must be a slow news week if Harrier is wondering if he can hit up the gay bars. I say go for it, you might see something you like.

Of course straight people are allowed in gay clubs...if you don't mind getting hit on & your junk grabbed without warning.

Of course no one cares. I've gone to the gay bars in Chicago with maybe a dozen straight friends over the years....probably more actually. There's always a curiosity factor at first, but overall everyone has a really good time. It's not like people go to gay bars and sit around talking about being gay or doing "gay" things. They listen to music, dance, chat and have fun. Gay bars with my straight friends turn out just the same as when we go to straight bars, although normally it's a little more rowdy and a crazy good time. As for women, they go to the gay bars en mass. I have no idea how many women I've been to a gay bar with, but they normally LOVE it becaus they can let their hair down, get crazy and have a fun time without having to deal with any idiot guys trying to hit on them or ruining their night by somehow assuming that just cause a girl is drunk in a bar she magically wants guys to come over and be all creepy.

Gosh, that's never happened to me, and I've been going to gay bars for 25 years. Maybe I've just been going to the wrong ones.

To not be drunk, but not be sober either.

A gay bar can actually be a great place for a straight guy to meet interesting women.

Once people find out your status, like if you're gay, str8, single, married, or whatever, getting hit on might happen.

I went to a halloween party at a LGBT club and I got a pinch on my bottom, I turned around and received a smile. It's all harmless fun, IMO.
Well maybe it's fairly random, but one time I went my friend was propositioned for sex. I wasn't really hit on myself, though. It just seems it'd probably be easier to get sex with another male in a gay bar than with a female in another other place. I've found this true in my life as a whole (been hit on a few times by men maybe only once or twice by a woman). I've not bad looking or anything, either.
