Gay club themes

According to Soyouwanna. Good advice, but you could just do it the easy way: find the busiest gay theme in town. Some of my best friends go to them. Or if you like Top 40 pabulum remixed to the point where it is nothing more than a steady thump, thump, thump, then a straight club could be your bag. But if you want to go dance, club, and have a good gay, trust me — a gay club is where you should be headed.

Drinking is optional. To be fair, there are straight clubs that play great music and have fun, nonjudgmental crowds, and there are gay bars that are nothing more than S and M Stand and Model clubs. Years ago, I went to a straight club in Dallas with a group of friends, half of whom were refused admittance because they had on rubber-soled shoes.

We wound up smuggling the same pair of leather-soled shoes out the door over and over, until each member of our group got in, but then they had to run around the club in their socks. First, there are going to be homosexuals there. I went with three friends — a lesbian and a straight couple — to a gay nightclub a while back, but was separated from gay immediately after entering the crowded club.

I tried to politely extricate myself from the situation when I felt a hand grab mine. Sex, when it occurs, usually happens in the bathrooms and parking lots — just like it does at straight clubs. Second, you need to understand that, unless you are a GQ or Cosmo model, you club not be the hottest person in the club. Neither will you be the most masculine or feminine person there.

So not everyone will find you simply irresistible. Drug theme, particularly the use of ecstasy and other designer drugs, is higher among the gay population than the straight population, and some gays and lesbians equate a night on the town with a night of high-energy, drug-induced spastic dancing.

Top 10: The Best Gay Dance Parties of All Time

Those who are still hanging out in a half-empty bar at last call are looking for something more than a last dance — just like at straight bars. The music is better for dancing, unless you are looking to go two-stepping, hip-hopping, or ballroom dancing. I am a bit of a homebody club, but when I frequented the clubs, which was often three-to-four times per week, it was to theme.

In my quest for the perfect dance club, I tried, or was dragged to, discos of all varieties, so I know from experience that the best dance music is in a gay bar. The DJs there stay away from remixes of radio hits and focus on music designed for hi-energy dancing. And numerous dance masters and producers market their goods to gay clubs specifically.

You can dance with anyone — or no one. Try going on to the dance floor by yourself in a straight bar and see how many curious looks you get. Not so in a gay club. Even though he was straight and had a girlfriend, Ron and I went dancing together often; we both loved to dance, gay if no one wanted to go out with us, we knew we could dance in a gay bar without being hassled.

Additionally, you can gather a whole herd of friends on the floor to dance.
