    I’m a gay man afraid of gay bars because men think they can just touch you because you’re at bar drinking alcohol.

      Gay bars can be super creepy. It’s worse for guys, but it’s also something I have experience with as a queer woman. Unwelcome groping from women happens less often for me at a gay club than by men at a straight club, but when it happens, it’s way more overt.

      I wish there were more spaces for LGBTQ folk that weren’t centred around drinking. I’m fortunate enough to live in a city where there are at least some venues and events of that sort, but in some places I’ve lived, there wasn’t even a local gay bar.
