This reminds me of the conversation I have every time someone asks if The Grapevine is a gay bar. I say "Yes. It's also a lesbian bar, a straight bar, a working class bar, a professionals' bar, a black club, a sports bar and a dive bar."
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OTOH, The Manhole? Just a gay bar.

Should I permit myself to get raised hopes about this??

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
My weirdest gay club experience is that when I lived in south west Virginia in the late eighties there was only one gay club and it would have different nights for different groups. Monday would be older dudes, tuesday would be drag, wednesday would be lesbians, etc.
People would get REALLY dicky if the "wrong" group was drawing attention on a given night. Like, bitching, heckling, complaining-to-the-powers-that-be dicky. I was pretty amazed. My little 19 year old brain was like, "So, this is self-loathing."
It was the only gay club for MILES. People were regularly given bullshit traffic tickets when leaving the parking lot. There weren't police raids, but there was what seemed a continual awareness that they'd better be quiet as hell and never get caught screwing on the premises or they'd lose their liquor license. Patrons were definately not safe at other clubs in the area. In light of all of this I found the infighting particularly heartbreaking. You can't even have each other ? You're going to say sexist and homophobic things to each other ?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I have been to a lesbian nightclub with ita, in fact!
meara, we went to a lesbian bar (Bullfishes) when you were in Cincy, right? Although it was a weeknight and therefore sadly fairly empty.

I just got a $50.00 American Express gift card as a thank you from my managers. Wow, I'm kinda stunned.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
It feels weird, like I'm not getting my minimum RDA of gay people in my life or something....
Hell, that's how *I* feel.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Which reminds me - meara, I need to take you to Wild Side West when you come back. One of the best patios in the city, and butches for miles.
