You need to wear tear-away clothes with the (pardon the phrase) gayest possible outfit on underneath. It needs to be a show! Make it loud and fabulous! 🏳️🌈
"Hi, I am a very straight man who... loves looking at red meat and eating... hooters. AT Hooters, where the straight men are. I would like my free beer now, dollface."
I’m tempted to go in there as a trans woman & try to convince them to give me free beer because they think I’m a dude. Given that I like women, by their logic, that just makes me a straight guy dressed like a woman, ergo… FREE BEER!!!
Charging different prices for different people isn't illegal. It's the basis of ladies night.
What I want to know is how can you tell if someone is gay or not. People think I'm gay. I'm not. But there are people who keep telling me I should be true to myself. And I should. And I AM. Which is why boobs are just great. They just brighten your day. Just like "TA-DA!!! IT'S TITTIES!!!" and you make that public domain sound of the asian girl in amazement. WOWWWW!!!!!!
I think some cities/states have determined Ladies Nights to be illegal... after lawsuits from the exact same types of dudes who think a heterosexual awareness month are a good idea.
I'd be down with a "free beer for straights" night as long as the crowd doesn't get all homophobic (I'm in San Francisco so even the straights are allies). But no women?
All right, fellow-cis people. We have a duty to drink this bar out of business. I recently quit drinking, but I can take a night off for the team. Let's go!
If I ever hear someone call us "South California" id probably be stuck between laughing at them and wanting to showing them Southern Californian niceness "well moreso Inland Imperial" and convert them from rear drive to front drive.
Apart from the fact that this counter celebration is cringey and time-deaf, that's also a really long-winded and uncatchy name for it. Why didn't they call it Straight Joy Month, or something more succinct.
Holy cow, how do they lead the article with this? It's literally homophobic to claim that a bunch of men together is gay, and men are already suffering for social pressure to not show platonic affection to one another, and they're fanning that flame.
This is bar owner is a stupid shithead, but every time I open a link to this website I'm reminded how absolutely garbage it is. This is like tops tho and honestly leads me to believe they're no better than the bar owner.
men are already suffering for social pressure to not show platonic affection to one another, and they're fanning that flame.
By who? The only people I hear endorsing that old timey John Wayne bull shit are men's rights "activist". Who constantly whine about men being suppressed, but also embrace the conservative stoic beliefs of the past.
I show platonic affection to my friends all the time, no one has ever given me shit about it.
You kind of answer your own question. But ignore the fact that the author of this article and whoever they quote are doing it too, by suggesting men getting together "sounds pretty gay."
I think it was designed to make profit off of making people upset.
But more specifically, you almost have to respect it. Target the same audience that still refuses to admit that James O'Keefe stole their money and watch the money roll in.
Right wingers love shit like this and will invent a backlash just to donate even more money to the business owner.
I have no problem with people feeling pride about their immutable characteristics. Scottish and proud? Excellent, go put on a kilt and throw one of those giant poles; looks fun! I have a problem when "pride" is used to organize people against a vulnerable minority. So sure, enjoy your super straight free beer with a bar full of other totally straight cis men and talk about... Idk sports or something. However, given the current political climate it seems to me like this is likely a way to gather people resentful of LGBT pride's efforts to claim equal rights. So it isn't a gathering of proud straight men, it is likely a gathering of bitter hateful men.
LGBT pride exists to fight for equal rights and representation that cis-hetero people enjoy by default; it isn't meant to gain an upper hand or displace cis-hetero people. Far-right extremists like to paint the movement's goals as a way to erase white straight cis culture, but this is just reactionary propaganda to mobilize people against this minority group.
