Gay Bars

[Iceglow]

Yes, I was refused entry on heterophobic reasons. And gay people often complain that they receive homophobia.

Right up there with being tied to a truck and dragged to your death or being raped and murdered for being gay. Those homofaguals just don't know how good they have it!

I'm not usually the first to jump to the defence of Iceglow, but I think you're taking what he said the wrong way. He's not saying "Omg, they complain that they are victims of homophobia but that totally isn't as bad as the heterophobia I've been a victim of!" - he's (I believe) saying that "they complain that they are victims of homophobia, which they are, but how can you complain about discrimination against your sexual orientation when you discriminate against the sexual orientation of others?"

BoB is exactly right about what I mean. The ones who complain about homophobic comments or actions taken against them are often the ones who intentionally or not display the most heterophobic behaviour.

Yeah, I think Iceglow should have been able to go in. But you have to expect to be hit on by other guys. If you get irritated by that, then you're forgetting you're in the wrong place.

I go to a gay bar expecting that guys will hit on me, I don't go in there expecting guys to sexually assault me (I've watched a guy do this to a friend of ours on an occasion to a gay bar, walked up and physically began groping him. He was straight it wasn't cool. The guy didn't even apologize when we told him to back off) I don't have an issue with being hit on by guys or by girls it's flattering either way.
