Well it was only twice in the 20+ years I've been going to bars, and I don't shy away from a gay bar.

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.

Hold my arms in a position so that my hands grab the sides of my belly.

(which wasn't even something I was consciously doing, but apparently it was enough to make a fellow male teenager exclaim sarcastically that I was truly standing there in a very heterosexual way)

I was born in Victorian Britain and have a very mirthful air about me.

So one day I was going about my merry business, being my jovial self.

When I'm walked a creature that saw what I was about, smiled at me and said 'well aren't you the gayest person I've met all day'.

I'm not sure how to feel tbh
