I don't think I'd likely go to a gay club without a gay person. It's generally been a mixed-group endeavor.
That said, I'm not really a club person.
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I've been to a couple of gay nightclubs with an all-straight group though it's been a long time ago, a really long time ago. I'd say at least one of them was a "gay" nightclub since there were so many straight people there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There have been a few times where I was the only man at a lesbian bar (each time with a lesbian friend). That was kinda' weird. Once there was a wet t-shirt contest, which was more funny than anything.

I'll say there's nothing bizarre about straight people going to gay nightclubs, but it's not the usual thing.
I'd say this is the difference between saying 'not unusual' and 'usual'.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I've once been to a gay bar without a guy. I'm sure we were annoying to some, and we were treated like toys by others.
eta: I'm just sure most straight people have never been to a gay nightclub.

I have been to a lesbian nightclub with ita, in fact!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I went to a gay bar with a straight friend by accident once -- we had plans to meet at a place we hadn't been to in a while, and it had switched over in the meantime. It was pretty funny.

Yeah, it doesn't seem that weird to me, but in High School and College, most of my friends were gay men (well, my age, but I felt weird saying gay boys)
Pretty shocking for the anti-gay rights person.

Ooh--I should be clear--gay male club without a guy once. Never been to a lesbian nightclub without a lesbian.
In university we felt pretty enfranchised to wander the gay male world as we wished, like just the knowledge that 1/2 our male friends were gay would come with us like a visible marker. Pretty arrogant. Then again, the gay environment in Montreal was quite blended, so many bars were male/female gay. Not sure how straight we looked.
eta: reading rafmun now. Later I will torture myself with early BBaBB. I don't know why.

I have not been to a gay or lesbian bar in many many years. It feels weird, like I'm not getting my minimum RDA of gay people in my life or something....
