I wish I was alive in the 50's and 60's when gay bars were what they were. I'd take getting the shit beat out of me by cops 3 times a week just to exclusively be around other queers for a few hours a night.
Now that everything is relatively safe all the lesbians are either pastel hipster polysexual panromantic fairygenders or annoying facebook wine moms and none of them have any normal gay friends, and all the gay guys my age vape and have those huge fucking hoops in their ears. Even all the drag queens are either transitioning or are "bisexual" men with "bisexual" girlfriends who just dress up for laughs. I haven't seen a butch lesbian under 50 since I was a teen.
Maybe this was their plan. Make the country safe for fags so now everyone who feels vaguely like an outcast can make up a new label and claim to be one of us so we get drowned out in this fucking background radiation of weirdos and perverts and straight tourist "allies". If I hear "sorry I'm not into cisgender males" from a dude in a gay bar one more time I'm going to punch his guyliner off.

It's rhetoric, don't be a prick.

This is the necessary result of Stonewall and yapping about "pride" in ""gay"" """culture""". The Mattachine was right and the goal should have been integration, even if it were slower; being gay should have been left as a taste for fucking dudes only, with bars for purely practical reasons. The MOMENT we let this shit become a subculture instead, this future was inevitable: now there's all this colorful bullshit and outsider romance around it, and so of course once it's been rendered socially harmless it's being colonized by """"alternative"""" women and their shitty, ugly tattoos.
TL;DR one of the many, many things boomers ruined was faggotry.

Back when AIDS was rampant and gays were considered sub-human degenerates by most every other member of society.
I can see how it would be frustratingly difficult trying to find a partner if only 5% of the people in a room are ever going to be the right sex and sexuality, but the gay bars of old need to stay gone.

In 1950 the HIV virus probably hadn't even mutated to a human-transmissible form, dumbass.

Yeah I share that feel.
It's weird when there's more straight men and women in a gay bar than lgbt people.
Like how can you still be a gay bar at that point?

>straight men go to gay bars to pick up said women

gays just use grindr to hookup now.
it saves money on alcohol and cover charges and you don't have to drive drunk.
let the straight people have the gay bars, otherwise they will close from neglect.

>went to gay bars in the 50's and 60's

I saw a butch lesbian when I was walking with my friend in Battersea.
When I say butch I mean she was dressed like my 15 year old brother.
But she was like 5'3, 40kgs and black.
