The plus of certain local straight bars over gay bars is that they play nicer music then what’s played in the two gay bars which I’d visit otherwise. Without having to really convince my three lesbian friends we went to a bar/club which we all consider straight. It wasn’t too crowded also a plus, maybe because it was Saturday and many students aren’t in town then. I know the music there to be more to my taste, but I hadn’t been there for over a year, so it was a bit of a wild guess to go there hoping there’s be nice music. There was over the evening quite some nice music, and music to which I could adapt, for the sake of having a fun time. So the music was okay and the four of us had danced happily at that straight bar.
It was also the first time I had went there after starting hormone treatment, and getting into the gay scene. This was somehow the true closure of going out straight in straight bars I have done ever since I was almost 16 years old. Now of course in the past half year I’ve been to some gay parties, but I hadn’t really gone out dancing and making it late in bars and clubs. Yesterday was the first time, and because it was too quiet at our favorite gay bar we ventured to that straight club. In my opinion that club is an openminded place, but it is clearly where the squares reign, although with a more alternative attitude and musical preference. I was once among them, because I was once not openly a woman and a lesbian. So yeah I had no problem being there, neither did my friends, they obviously had an enjoyable night out.
The peculiar thing about straight clubs though are the desperate straight guys, not only desperate but obnoxious too. There were three of those last night, which manifested their despair in different degrees. Which also resulted in three different kind of “eeeeewww”s coming out of my mouth in response to their behaviour. We survived their obnoxious straightness and didn’t let them spoil our night.
Yes going out straight is still possible, but honestly I’m really looking forward to the alternative gay club night at a small venue in Utrecht later this month. That combination is truly ideal, also in respect to meeting other girls. It’s time to have some fun!!!
