I read in a comment on a review of a gay bar: “You don’t HAVE to be gay to enjoy this place”. It hit me so hard what kind of a world I lived in and the kind of world that shaped my line of thought. A world in which gay people are hated and marginalized, although we seem to advocate for their rights.

When you hear the expression “gay bar” do you, as a straight person, think of it as a place where you would never enter willingly, but where you would enter only once in your lifetime and consider it like going to a zoo, or you just don’t give it so much importance?

I know it’s a stupid thing to ask on the Internet, but please answer truthfully.
