I've been to one before.

I found out, from visiting said gay bar, exactly what women are talking about when they are complaining about how men treat them. I always assumed, from a chauvinistic point of view, that they were overdoing how bad it is to be treated like "a piece of meat". Then I went to the gay bar with some friends of mine (one of those friends was a bisexual female who leans towards women and is definitely masculine).

Men in the bar kept looking at me. A few comments on my hair. A few nods and where am I from. But most of all, it was the staring. As if I didn't exist. Just kept staring at me.

I left early. It pissed my friends off, because they thought I was being uncomfortable with the homosexuality. Explaining to them that what I was uncomfortable with was the lack of social mores... well, as you might imagine, that doesn't exactly pan well with super-liberals. If I was on their end, it wouldn't have panned well with me, either.

I'd be willing to go to a more upscale, bigger one. And perhaps this time with a good male friend, if only so that people will think I'm taken.
