I'm beginning to feel like I'm done with the Gay bars. I was reminded at a gay event how boring and blah it is.
They seem so... So complacent, predictable and a bit much.
I'm not trying to be holier than thou bitch, but I don't get it anymore: Overly loud music, drunken guys trying to feel you up, mindless convos, screaming/annoying fag hags and pretentiousness to the max. Why even be bothered? I remembered how excited I was about going to my first gay bar. It was new and exciting then... But now, it's like detention.
Watching guys coo over the hot guy, the lonely guys hidden in the corner and the tired porn on the screens is... well, all I need to know that I want something else to do with my time.
How do y'all feel about gay bars.

There was a place for them in my life when I was ... okay I'll say it ... younger, and looking to hang out with like-minded men.
Now I'm done with that part of my life, but I still think there's a place for gay bars for men, and women, looking to hang out and party in a safe ... from gay bashing ... environment.
I think you reach a certain age or amount of experience (in bars) and you get tired of them - GAY OR STRAIGHT. I think LGBT's tended to be in bars for more years because we (used to) start socializing and dating later and then start nesting later too.
Ask you straight friends and see how identical their rant is to yours. Only I bet they don't say straight bar scene, just bar scene.
Now lets talk about music, movies and clothing stores.
I think there's still fun gay bars. Are you sure this is not just an LA thing? In my recent trip to Chicago, I went to sidetrack, a video bar with sing-a-longs and trash TV nights, and they serve alcoholic slushies. I had the best time ever.
It is hit or miss when I go to a bar. Mind you I am 45 and really don't care for the bar scene like I did when I was 25.
I rather go out to eat with friends, or if we go out for drinks it is at a lounge or pub kinda place; straight or gay.
My taste and sensibilities have changed. However, I can imagine the bar or club scene being just right for someone half my age.
They're no longer necessary. In a time when the LGBT community is making great strides toward inclusion, the idea of self-segregation seems counterproductive.
Unlike in the past, today's LGBT people no longer need places like these to meet.
You summed my feelings up and wrapped a pretty pink ribbon round it.
I just go to a gay lounge to chill now.
Bars are so played.
Straight bars are no different. The novelty is over once you hit a certain age, and for me it was 25.
