The colonizers are “why does it always have to be about race” -ing and are about to (if not already), blame mental health of the killer. We need a bingo card for these things. White male rage and white privelge at its finest.

If the straight girls in this scenario leave, gay men aren’t going to magically appear. The bar will just be empty, the bartenders will make less money, and if it keeps up like that for long enough, guess what bar won’t exist anymore? Yeah.
No offense hon but we’ve never needed the straights in order to keep our bars existing.
Gay people ain’t there because straight hoes maxed out capacity so thy can’t get in. No gay bar has suffered because straight people didn’t show up.
“If the straight girls in this scenario leave…” this is exactly the kind of lack of self-awareness that straight (mostly white) women use to continuously elbow their way into spaces that they didn’t invent, claim it for themselves, and act like they are now a part of it. There is zero consideration that they might be the problem. Yes, things like dating apps were a contributing factor to gay bars losing business.
Like I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve seen drunk bachelorette parties at my local drag bar seriously NOT understand that the drag show isn’t about them and their fucking “special day”. Also, women don’t fucking tip (or tip as much) the queens. They hog the best viewing spaces. They try to get on stage. They disrupt performances. And altogether cannot handle the fact that the spotlight isn’t on them because they now have a ring.
And the worst part? This behaviour is often justified because “we just want to have fun and not get hit on!” yet they forget that gay men & lesbians are completely capable of sexism and misogyny as well. More importantly: this favour of being free to celebrate without sexual harassment, isn’t returned to the LGBTQ members in that space. Ever. I’ve been groped. I’ve had a woman forcefully try to make out with me while her friend prevented me from leaving and that I should reciprocate because “it’s her birthday”. I’ve had women tell me “I wish you weren’t gay because we could totally hook up!”. It’s like they want to avoid this predatory, gross behaviour from straight men….only to come create those issues in OUR spaces.
it’s entirely fucked up to treat LGBTQ+ spaces like a fucking zoo, and then turn around and ask our community to THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE lmao. It’s sad because we should be allies, and we absolutely could if there were a two-way street of RESPECT. Straight women can go ahead and swallow ALL of the uncomfortable pills here. fuck ALL the way off.
