Controversial take, but more gay bars, especially the ones with fetish nights/dark rooms and whatnot, should be more restricted to just men. It feels like a lot of times women come in to gawk and invade. Let men have a space to themselves pretty please

As someone who lives in a city with a lesbian bar, it’s really unfair that we have so few places to congregate. Support your local Queer spaces! 🏳️‍🌈

Most lesbian bars have closed due to a lack of, well, lesbians. Plus the security cost of keeping straight men out. (A problem, noteably, gay bars have increasingly had with straight women as acceptance has risen; they want to be accepting of lesbians, but some straight women see it as a place to harass the men.)

as a bi woman i’m scared to go to lesbian bars because people have told me it’s a lesbian-only space and bi women aren’t welcome. i wish there was a space i could meet women and not feel like i’m intruding

i live in a city with one of the last lesbian bars but they barely present themselves as one anymore and it’s been infiltrated by a lot of straight people unfortunately 😭

That’s so real, I’m in western mass so we have our one that just opened, and three in the whole state, (two are general “sapphic”) but besides that the closest is Henrietta’s in NYC. I’m always a little impressed at how well the gay community has kept gay bars alive, but I assume it’s in part due to the introduction of drag queens to straight people (straight girls love drag race) wich is definitely not a great thing. I’m glad that there seems to be a good bit of gay bars out there.

Ohhhhh yeah. No I love rpdr but also it’s really caused the straight invasion of gay spaces to skyrocket 😭

Yeah, thinking about that angle with your original post definitely makes me understand it a lil more. It’s that kind of being put on show that’s okay for drag queens, because they’re literally trying to make money, but straight people and just non gay men in general may see yall as a source of entertainment? Does that make sense?

That really sucks that you’ve been told that :( I’ve always viewed the label of “lesbian bar” as less “lesbian only” and more “lesbian activity” like come here if you like women and want to meet women

As long as you aren’t bringing a man into a lesbian bar most lesbians don’t mind
