Gay-Bashed at the Stonewall Inn -- yes!
Posted by BillSam on Fri Feb-01-08 08:02 PM
Okay, they say that if you live long enough you'll see and hear everything, but I admit I'm utterly flabbergasted by what happened to me last night.
I'm a friendly guy, and I occasionally start conversations with people in gay bars by asking if a twosome are a couple, how long they've been together, and so on. Sometimes I'm way off and the two guys tell me they just met half an hour ago; sometimes they've been together many years.
Last night at the Stonewall Inn I asked what I thought was a gay couple how long they'd been together and one of the two men immediately became enraged and began thumping my chest with his fist! I backed up and tried to calm him down. (I'm am not a violent man but if anyone deserved a sock in the jaw it was this jerk.)The next thing I know a young woman hostess comes out of nowhere and firmly asks one of us to leave.
Which one? You would imagine it would be the violent, inebriated, homophobic man who was ASSAULTING the gay guy who was NOT inebriated or violent, and wasn't assaulting anyone. After all, this is the Birthplace of the Modern-Day Gay Rights Movement, and their slogan is "Where Pride Began."
Well you would imagine...
The lady asked ME to leave.
Yes.
I'm still totally FLABBERGASTED. "Are gay men no longer welcome in the Stonewall Inn?" I asked her. I got no reply. (This was even more shocking then when one of their bartenders, who tells everyone he's "straight," confided in me IN A LOWERED VOICE that he also has sex with men.)
If I had been injured I would have gone for a cop, had the guy arrested, and filed a lawsuit against the bar today.
When the Stonewall Inn reopened they made much of the fact it was gay-owned (Ironically, when it was straight-owned a few years ago it was a lot more fun and a lot friendlier than it is now.) The bar was going to be a haven for all factions of the LGBT community. It HAS become mixed, but in this case "mixed" means gay and straight. The Stonewall is owned by the same people who own the essentially straight if supposedly gay-friendly Duplex down the block, but somehow drunken straight people bypass the two straight bars in-between and wind up in the Stonewall. Are they all gay-friendly? Obviously not.
Mixed bars -- such as the old 5 Oaks in New York -- can be very successful. But in the 5 Oaks if someone just whispered a homophobic slur they would be thrown out by gay and straight staffers alike so fast their heads would swim.
This man got PHYSICAL with me and was not removed!
I had such high hopes for the Stonewall Inn, but they've almost completely downplayed its history and significance and it's just more or less turned into the Duplex II. I am not letting this drop. I am writing to the manager/co-owner tomorrow and sending the word out to avoid the place at all costs until (if) this is resolved.
If they would prefer to have homophobes instead of gays for customers, I see absolutely no reason to spend my hard-earned money in the joint.
Hey asshat, maybe it's none of your business if people are a couple or not. :whatever:
-
I normally ask two men that are hanging out in a bar if they are sucking each others dick.

1 dong, I mean bong.
The LOWERED voice (yeah, sure) and the "if anyone deserve a sock in the jaw" part ("you brute!") meet the minimum bouncy 1 bonger level.

He would have given such a slap!

Sounds like his gaydar needs tuning. :p

This dummy is cruising for a bruising. Stupid is as stupid does.

lol, if a faggot asked if me and a friend were a couple I would probably do more than just push him.

The guy is a homophobe because he got mad that someone thought he was gay? The gay and lesbian crowd are really watering down the meaning of the word. Apparently your either gay or a homophobe.

What it really is is an attempt to turn the tables. A phobia is a form of mental malfunction. Homosexuals aren't the ones with the mental illness - YOU are. Get it?

Blow out the fire and crawl down off the pyre, Joan. You're still a saint to me.

As long as you promise not to let Yoko break up the team.

The faggot Dummy should mind his own damn business. Maybe the bar isn't a queer bar anymore. Who knows? If the dude's were spooning or some crap, THEN he can assume they're a couple or whatever. Hell, who knows.. but the DUmmy is lucky he wasn't thrown through a plate glass window.
The Stupid is strong with this one.
