To say that there would be a huge upheaval if lesbians and gay men were not allowed into straight clubs is just proposterous. We are only ‘allowed’ into all sorts of premises as long as we act straight. Are gays ‘allowed’ to show affection to each other in staight clubs? This is not reverse discrimination – this is a response to the discrimination of mainstream heterosexual society. When lesbians and gay men can be as free with their sexuality as heterosexual couples are ‘allowed’ to be then this question will no longer arise. As it happens though I don’t think that you have quite understood the reasons the door policy of the clubs is how it is. Many lesbians and gay men will be able to tell you stories about seeing heterosexual couples in gay bars being very affectionate with each other – it’s as if as soon as they get in the place they have to prove their sexuality because they feel threatened – if you you ran a gay bar is this the kind of person you would want in the place? If I was on the door I’d say that a straight couple arriving hand in hand would not be the sort of people I’d want in – it’s not anti-straight, I just think they could possibly start to try to overwhelm the place with their sexuality (people often talk about lesbians and gay men shoving their sexuality down heterosexuals throats – they obviously haven’t seen how some straights act in a gay bar). With regard to being asked if you are gay or not – this ones very simple. If you are gay then you say you are and you get in, if you are not gay and are willing to say you are gay in order to get in then you get in and if you are not gay and you can’t bring yourself to say you are then this place aint for you anyway sweetheart.
