    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”

      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.

      That sounds a bit gay NGL.

      Straight men in a bar getting increasingly plastered, doing country music karaoke about how their removed 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.

      Bars have consistently had ‘women nights’ at bars where they get all night discounts and free admission. I don’t see how this is any different

      That’s like free beer for your dog or kitchen stove. Here in Idaho, we try not to anthropomorphize our property.

      For what though…what gay person is going to go there? This is like the literal opposite of a honeypot. It’s not like they are trying to trick gay people into coming with 1 free beer

          So the claim is that it’s a honeypot to attract straight people who actively avoid gay people. This now places the presumption that it’s gay people doing this to do something nefarious to straight people which I highly doubt.

          I still think honeypot is the wrong term here.

    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.

      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…

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

      How can someone have so little self awareness

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

        Sell their land to a shell company (pun intended) which leased the land back to the main company at inflated rates as part of a convoluted financial scheme to embezzle money, and then blame the endless shrimp.

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

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