Straight men, what's the weirdest thing you've been told you can't do because it's gay? (lemmy.world)

Depends on the bar, but gay bars can actually be pretty chill. Everyone there was really nice and the atmosphere is fun.

The first time we went in, we were super awkward, and a nice older guy saw us standing in the doorway and kinda scooped us up and showed us around the place (coat check, pool/games area, etc). It gave us the warm fuzzies. :)

Both my SO and I aren't straight, but people are pretty respectful and nice at that bar, and I wouldn't feel unwelcome even if I was batting for the other team.
