YEARS ago there was a gay bar in my hometown. Word got out that the straight women were going there because they weren't getting hit on all the time. It was just a matter of time before straight men were going there in search of straight women, and before you knew it the place became straight.
Going to the gay bar in town became fashionable for ‘hip’ straights in my city once upon a time.
I think it ran its course when the HIV “plague” hit. The newspaper started running daily statistics on infections.
Surprisingly, when the number of HIV patients stabilized at around 85 and didn’t make a lot of headway into the straight community they dropped the statistic count.
