    This totally sounds like a plot for an It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode where Mac tries to prove his heterosexuality

    So two gays could just come in and say they are friends and get two free beers?

    But straight women couldn’t get it for free

    I guess it’s more: “we only want men”

      That sounds a bit gay NGL.

      I used to work in the trades. I was surrounded by straight-acting men. There’s nothing more gay than a group of straight-acting men.

      Unfortunately it’s the creepy, repressed kind of gay that would make a tolerate person’s skin crawl.

      I feel awful for their wives and children.

        I stumbled over a community at lemmynsfw.com called “rough trade” or something similar. Those tradesmen were so straight they weren’t afraid to let their buddy rest his cock in their mouth.

        Did you tell all the men you were working with this is how you felt about them, or was it more of an undercover hate thing?

          After finally getting fed up, I went on a 10 month campaign against mamagement calling out all the sexism, racism, poor management and absolute disrespectful treatment of apprentices and contractors. I made it very clear that the work culture was awful in every way.

          I got predictably fired but I secretly was working with corporate to deal with the the awful HR manager who was enabling this work culture.

          Without going into much details, After my company fired me, I put in a complaint to the government labour board over a wrongful termination case. A month later after my submitting my case to the labour board, the HR manager was forced into early retirement. A month after that I settled out of court and got my severance plus a little extra to cover lawyer fees.

          My coworkers knew, most got upset at me for challenging authority, some respectfully supported me at an arms length and even fewer people actually supported me.

          What was undercover hate wasn’t very hidden by the end of my time there. Although I doubt they fully knew how much I couldn’t stand them. I still had to maintain the peace somehow.

    This would be hilarious if it was a gay bar. Maybe the kind with the people walking around in assless chaps.

    Events the conservative carpetbagger is hawking include “Truth seeker” nights, “Conspiracy Theory Trivia” with an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle as a prize, “Open Carry Coffee” mornings with holstered handguns, and “Worship Nights” along with Bible study groups and a “Christian Singles Mingle” mixer.

    A “Nefarious Vaccine Agenda” event and an upcoming “NASA Lies and Flat Earth” presentation fill out the bar’s way-out bill of fare.

    Hate to disappoint, sir, but this was one bar my queer ass was never going to end up in anyway.

      Geeeeeee, I wonder why gun crimes are so rampant in 'Murica compared to ~anywhere else in the world. I really have no idea! I hope someone figures this out eventually!

      Do these people not realize they’re caricatures? That people are laughing at them?

      How can someone have so little self awareness

      Not gonna lie, while all that shit is insane, they’re being pretty clever with their promotions. The best you’d get from most bars is a karaoke night or discount prime rib night.

      Damn, sounds like that place has hit a critical mass of fact-averse regressive stupidity!

      SURELY some of the flavors of fascist and libertarian wackos must feel deeply embarrassed to be associated with the others. Unless of course they’re no longer capable of the tiny amount of self awareness embarrassment requires…

    Technically a gay couple is twice as manly as a hetero couple.

    Not really related to the story, I just like that fact.

      Straight men in a bar getting increasingly plastered, doing country music karaoke about how their bitch wives left them, pontificating on the superiority of Western Civilization and historical Greek culture, staring into each others eyes lovingly while slapping one another’s nuts and shouting “No homo”, and then heading off to the bath house together to sober up.

    Sure does sound like a bunch of participation trophy holders and snowflakes in there. You know, the exact shit they bitch about.

    Aww is little Billy Rae Bob Timmy John upset that he isn’t getting enough attention? Poor poor Billy Rae Bob Timmy John, just jack that pristine Identity Accessory pickup truck up another 4’ and roll more coal, you’ll get all the attention I promise!
