TORONTO -- Ontario's only gay strip club is allowing women inside its doors for the first time in the establishment's 16-year history -- but only during certain hours.
"It is important that we become part of the community,"
It's important for a strip club to be part of the community? I can't recall the last time I went to a local meeting and heard "I really wish the local peeler bars would be more involved in supporting kids activities." I guess I'm living a sheltered life.
I would have thought a gay club would be frequented by gay men and women, didn't realize that gay clubs would be "men only". Besides, strippers are strippers and if straight women want to go spend money to drink and watch men dance I don't see what the big deal is. Isn't their money just as good?
As far as "being part of the community", since when are any bars or clubs considered a part of?

I agree, I never really thought of these places as something positive that is important to a town community.
I wish there were more strip clubs, they are only as seedy as they have to be. I have been to clubs that have been run like a brothel and ones that are run like a nightclubs. The nightclub ones have always been much better.
Many years ago (about 22) there was a nightclub that I used to go to where there were 2 nights a week for "Ladies Night". Half price drinks and male strippers and shirtless waiters. The strippers all had an act, not seedy at all, very entertaining and not many of them actually stripped all the way down. I remember there would be a few dancers then around 10 they let men into the main club (they had a back room where the guys would drink, shoot pool and wait to be let in to where all the drunk ladies would be ) and then it was like any nightclub. Used to be fun, always went with friends, drank for cheap and had had a good time.

Guess you don't get out much? The gay bars are filled with straight people who for one reason or the other enjoy the atmosphere, music, friendly non threatening environment. In Montréal there was an issue a year or so ago when a female sat on the patio of a gay leather bar where explicit porno was in view. She didn't care about the porno, she was there with her father who happened to be gay. She was only having a drink and was asked to leave..long story short it ended in the Humans Rights courts and she won. If anyone of any gender who is of legal age wants to go into a gay bar,straight bar, peeler bar, porno bar they should have the right. Age of majority means just that..
Guess you don't get points much? Geesh Kenmore, that is exactly what Strutz says, but not what the article said. You might as well get your head out of your ass and read the story before you say something.
I read the story Brenda, point is I was responding to ... "I would have thought a gay club would be frequented by gay men and women" not the article.. for years gay men could not go into straight bars without harassment or threat of violence. So they started the gay bars.. Lesbians have always been welcome in gay bars and for the most part so has the general public. The idea of straights frequenting the gay bars is a recent phenomena. My brother ( who is gay) says there are gays who have issue with this.. but if acceptance is being sought then gays too have to open up as well
Its pretty normal that gays and straights mingle in the same bars in Holland. It is where the fetishes come in, the leather and fuzzy pink shit that need their own place. The bar where I used to work did not have any issue with any type of orientation. The lesbian girl was, just as the straight man, told to fuck off when they hit on me.
