checks out, straight people wouldn't do it constantly if it was a crime for them also bachelorette parties are the only time i've ever actually been groped by a woman its like their one chance to objectify and assault people before they submit themselves to the rightful will of god & their husband

Yeah, I am a straight woman and I'm pretty reluctant to go to gay bars simply because I don't want to invade someone else's space, even though I would never act like you're all describing. I pretty much only go to a gay bar when there's a performer I want to see. I've loved drag since I was a tween and first gaped at Tim Curry in Rocky Horror Picture Show, I started going to local shows in college, and now with RPDR taking off so much it seems like there are so many more straight people, esp. women, at drag shows, and I have heard some grumbling from the gay community that they feel like drag is being taken away from them. I don't know what to do about that one though. I love drag, I don't want to stop going to shows, as if I alone could turn back the mainstreaming effect. I appreciated what Lady Gaga had to say in the first episode, about being a straight woman who wants to pay the gay community respect and still be in some way a part of it. Not really a solution though.

Not really a solution though. I appreciate your concern. I think generally, if you want to go to a drag show, go. Queens make more money with more people there to tip them. It's how many of them make your living. Go and support the artists you love. Be respectful of the fact that you're in a space not catering to you. Don't try and outshine the Queen. There are plenty of videos out there of drunk straight girls, like Brandi Glanville, trying to steal the spotlight from the Queen on stage. If you're there with your gay friends, it sounds like they already want to be there. Enjoy yourself. Enjoy your friends. They enjoy you. If you're there with a group of your straight girl friends, maybe start making plans to move on to the next location when the show is over. Even if you're on your best behavior, this is still a gay space. Gay bars and clubs are some of the only places that many gay people have where they are amongst their own, where there is a short hand, where people understand their life experiences, and where if they see someone they find attractive, there is a better chance that we can find someone to take home for the night, or take home to mom. The more straight people there, the less and less of a gay space it becomes. A lot of gay people are going to see a large group of straight girls, or several large group of straight girls, and feel resentful, or even unwelcome in one of, if not the only, safe spaces they have in their lives.

I just want to start by saying that I know this makes me a garbage person, but I'm just now getting around to watching All-Stars Season 2. I'm glad there's Phi Phi drama, because I need to talk about that bitch. Look, I'm not even mad at her whole "Oh, I'm just here to rehabilitate my image *immediately becomes a raging turboshit again*" thing. We all expected that. It's the scorpion's nature to sting the But that utter trash fucker actually said "G-I-F". She spelled it the gently caress out. No hard G, no soft G, she just spelled it out like that's a thing human beings are supposed to do and not immediately be locked in prison for it. gently caress the current drama, gently caress season 4, gently caress her attitude or whatever, why is she not currently spread across 5 different Chicago dumpsters right now for SPELLING OUT "GIF" RATHER THAN JUST PRONOUNCING THE WORD? We cannot have a functioning society if this is allowed to happen without penalty.

I don't go to gay clubs even a fraction as much as when I lived in SF (go figure, and it was with a good gay friend and his people), but it's always nice to be validated that if a straight girl isn't being a shitheel, it's okay to be there and support a very cool scene. It's one of those cases where people as a whole can be terrible, but individuals who mind themselves are okay. I've never seen a bachelorette party get out of hand, but it doesn't take much to understand the situation. I just figure it's our job as straight girls who don't suck not to shy away and try to contribute positively.

I've never seen a straight woman at a bear bar. We shatter the illusion that all gay dudes are makeup-wearing twinks permanently generating a cloud of glitter, and that makes them feel all icky, like they're talking about actual people or something.

I just make sure I bring lots and lots of cash with me and am very generous. It helps with the guilt.

I can confirm bear bars are the best because they are where gay people and their friends go to socialize in a gay space, rather than where gay people and their fans go to emulate the gay scene they saw on their favourite netflix show / a recent buzzfeed article.

so is Pearl :shade donkdonkdonkdonk: e: Pearl is loving gorgeous in and out of drag, would totally smoke a joint and hang/bang her. I wouldn't pay money to see her and that's kind of my qualifier for drag queens. Would I pay ten-twenty bux to see her perform? Pearl, Farrah, Kimora, hell even Cucu are passes. Maybe I'd see a CLF show but you gotta put on a Got. Damnt. Show. edit2: I guess I'm just not a fan of pure "look" queens. As much as I think Kim Chi is stunning and unique I dunno if I'd pay to see her, I really want a queen to be funny or put on a stellar performance.

That and when other lesbians assume you're also straight b/c you don't have a Tegan and Sara haircut. Seriously, though, I'm all for straight guys and girls being in gay bars, drag show or no, so long as they're being respectful and not being a douche. Like it's weird if they're alone or only with other straight people, and there isn't a show, but if they're being nice who cares.
