5. Gay '90s

Definetly the straighest "Gay" bar I have ever been to. The entire place was full of conservative straight couples. I had spent hours getting ready to go out for the evening (in drag), and when I arrived I was met by odd looks from all the straight guys hiding behind their girlfriends. When I had to use the ladies room I was met and asked not to because someone might not be comfortable peeing in the stall next to me......AT A GAY BAR! All this while the straight girls run giggling into the mens room to catch a sneak peek and the gay boys.-but that seemed to be fine. When addressed the on site manager I was presented with quite possibly the rudest, most inconsiderate man I have ever met. I was promtly told "If I didn't like it, I could leave", I did. I had traveled over 800 miles so I could go somewhere where I could be myself, not be judged or ridiculed, but at the Gay 90's I found just the opposite. I left humiliated, feeling rejected by management that I thought, would understand and be considerate to the fact that a gay bar is one of the few places I can be myself and not have to be worried about being judged, rejected or even attacked....I was mistaken.....On the bright side: After leaving the Gay 90's I walked a few blocks down the street to the Saloon and had a wonderful time, I highly suggest the Saloon. Friendly staff, great clients, fun music, strong drinks, tasty food.
