I'm not gay nor have I been to a live DJ night at a gay bar nor am I a straight girl, but I would wager that anyone coming in a gay bar isn't a problem as long as they're not being a dick, just like with any other bar.
I imagine one reason for coming to a gay bar as a gay person is to feel more confident in who you can "approach".
People are still going to say no? It just increases the density of options.
Yeah, that was my only point, that it reduces the risk of hitting on someone who doesn't share your preference.
You’ll run up into that barrier everywhere. It’s called discrimination for a reason.
Not entirely sure if I understand your comment, but I guess my point is that a gay bar would be a place where you don't expect to run into that. 👍
