    Two men come in: “Hi, I’m straight, give me my free beer and one for my buddy here who’s also straight.”

    Bartender: “Here are your free beers.”

    Man: “Thank you, and now here is our beer celebration”

    The two men proceed to make out.

      I’m tempted to go in there as a trans woman & try to convince them to give me free beer because they think I’m a dude. Given that I like women, by their logic, that just makes me a straight guy dressed like a woman, ergo… FREE BEER!!!

      As a straight, I don’t get the “men only” part.

      I’d be down with a “free beer for straights” night as long as the crowd doesn’t get all homophobic (I’m in San Francisco so even the straights are allies). But no women?

      That does sound pretty gay.

      Charging different prices for different people isn’t illegal. It’s the basis of ladies night.

      What I want to know is how can you tell if someone is gay or not. People think I’m gay. I’m not. But there are people who keep telling me I should be true to myself. And I should. And I AM. Which is why boobs are just great. They just brighten your day. Just like “TA-DA!!! IT’S TITTIES!!!” and you make that public domain sound of the asian girl in amazement. WOWWWW!!!

          It does depend on state law. Iirc in California only private clubs can discriminate on gender.

          But discrimination based on race (or faith, or a few other things) is prohibited nationwide at the federal level.

    “An all-male Monday sounds pretty gay to me.”

    Holy cow, how do they lead the article with this? It’s literally homophobic to claim that a bunch of men together is gay, and men are already suffering for social pressure to not show platonic affection to one another, and they’re fanning that flame.

    This is bar owner is a stupid shithead, but every time I open a link to this website I’m reminded how absolutely garbage it is. This is like tops tho and honestly leads me to believe they’re no better than the bar owner.

      By who? The only people I hear endorsing that old timey John Wayne bull shit are men’s rights “activist”. Who constantly whine about men being suppressed, but also embrace the conservative stoic beliefs of the past.

      I show platonic affection to my friends all the time, no one has ever given me shit about it.

          You kind of answer your own question.

          Okay, so straight dudes are to blame for the straight dudes having issues, yet this is society’s fault?

          by suggesting men getting together “sounds pretty gay.”

          I think you are purposely misinterpreting the tongue in cheek nature of the author’s writing.

          It’s great for you that you can show physical affection with your straight male friends

          Not just my straight male friends, I show affection for my gay male friends too. I feel that the people who feel pressured not to show affection to their male friends are probably dealing with some homophobic tendencies.

          [but let’s not pretend this isn’t a problem in our society.]

          Again… I think you are missing the point of the article. The author proposes that men aren’t being suppressed, they are vicariously occurring emotional faults due to their participation in homophobia.

          This isn’t a societal problem, it’s an internal contradiction that needs to be addressed by those who fear being labeled gay by other bigots.

            Regardless of whose fault it is, it’s exists. And considering the source of this article, it’s safe to say it ain’t just straight people pushing it.

            I think you are purposely misinterpreting the tongue in cheek nature of the author’s writing.

            I agree with the premise of the article. I find their method of making it to be counterproductive (pushing homophobia) and also exacerbating a societal problem.

            And you’re also so close to why this is wrong: why do you think they are calling it gay if they don’t recognize that this is a societal problem with straight men? That’s the whole point of the “tongue in cheek” nature of their homophobic statement: to leverage this fear of men bonding being associated with being gay.

            This isn’t a societal problem, it’s an internal contradiction that needs to be addressed by those who fear being labeled gay by other bigots.

            I see it as almost the exact opposite: an internal contradiction of people who claim homophobia is bad using homophobia to insult people.

              How do you solve a problem when you don’t know what or who’s causing it?

              it’s safe to say it ain’t just straight people pushing it.

              Lol, the article is dripping with sarcasm… I’d hardly say one joke article from a lgbtq magazine is causing all these young men to internalize their homophobia.

              Based on your two sources, you are simultaneously claiming that men are failing to make affectionate relationships with other men because they fear being labeled as gay, and that it’s partly gay people’s fault.

              Kinda feels like you are falling over yourself to make excuses for men to scapegoat the consequences of their own actions.

              counterproductive (pushing homophobia) and also exacerbating a societal problem.

              You are the only person interpreting being labeled as gay as homophobia. It’s only homophobia if you are already look down upon homosexuality to begin with.

              That’s the whole point of the “tongue in cheek” nature of their homophobic statement: to leverage this fear of men bonding being associated with being gay.

              Or, it’s a common joke. It’s not unusual for those who profess to be ultra straight, and care a little too much about how people perceive their sexuality are often deep in the closet.

              internal contradiction of people who claim homophobia is bad using homophobia to insult people.

              Again, being mislabeled as gay is only homophobic if already you don’t like gay people. It seems you may have some issues with homophobia yourself.

                I’m not trying to solve it here, but point out to you that this article is exacerbating it. For that the origin of it is unimportant.

                I’d hardly say one joke article from a lgbtq magazine is causing all these young men to internalize their homophobia.

                Why misrepresent what I said? Is spewing homophobia okay as long as it’s sarcastic?

                that it’s partly gay people’s fault.

                Yes, when people, gay or straight or whatever, push this homophobia, they are partially responsible.

                You are the only person interpreting being labeled as gay as homophobia.

                Claiming that men socialize with each other is gay is absolutely homophobia. Quite literally. Why are you defending this as not homophobic?

                It seems you may have some issues with homophobia yourself.

                I could be the most homophobic person on the planet and it would have zero bearing on the points I’m making.

                  So it’s up to us straight men to decide what is and isn’t homophobic… Not the people who are gay?

                  I think if no one else is sharing your interpretation of the article, that may be a clue you have made an misinterpretation.

                  Is spewing homophobia okay as long as it’s sarcastic?

                  You haven’t established that it’s homophobic… Nor have you explained your reasoning behind interpreting it as homophobic.

                  Yes, when people, gay or straight or whatever, push this homophobia, they are partially responsible.

                  Ahh, so the men who go to that bar to avoid or devalue gay culture and their fight to achieve equality are totally victims. And the gay people poking fun at them are to blame… Got it.

                  Claiming that men socialize with each other is gay is absolutely homophobia. Quite literally. Why are you defending this as not homophobic?

                  They aren’t claiming all men who socialize with men are gay, they are poking fun at specific bigots. How is that homophobic?
