Everybody Wants to Finance Greg Gutfeld’s Ground Zero Gay Bar
—Greg Gutfeld, future owner of a Ground Zero gay bar, and self-professed gay marriage supporter [via]
we can’t allow this fox news idiot to profit off of the gay community.

He supports gay marriage. I like this. Libertarianism rises at the expense of social conservatism.
·
As someone who lives three blocks from Ground Zero, it would be great to have a gay bar below 14th Street.
·
He’s so full of shit. I don’t believe that anyone would be dumb enough to invest “tens of thousands” in one of the city’s deadest areas for nightlife, just to piss off Muslims.
·
this is the real deal, and i love it! count me in as someone who has emailed greg to pledge money. we should ALL be supporting him.
r.i.p. western europe! but we will not follow your lead in letting these anti-western and uncivilized radicals ruin our culture and destroy our nation from within.

People used to say the same thing about the first people to open up clubs in Tribecca or the Meatpacking district.
As for all the people with their knee jerk reactions. Why do I care why he is opening up a bar? Most of the bar owners in NYC are fairly shady folks. If the patrons of the new Mosque are bigots then I don’t give a fuck what they think. If they are tolerant to the gay bar, then it is a bug fuck you to all the people saying that all muslims are bigots and homophobic. Sounds pretty win/win to me.

“People used to say the same thing about the first people to open up clubs in Tribecca or the Meatpacking district.”
And maybe, maybe it could be pulled off, by someone with a more coherent business plan than “attempting to piss off Muslims.”
As for why I care, I resent my sexuality being used as a political tool by an anti-First Amendment crowd who mostly don’t give a fuck about gay rights.
·
The estimate for 2010 is there are 10 million Muslims in the USA, that is more than the amount of Jews in this country, and not 1% of the population.
·
I’m willing to try and put my cynicism aside for one moment and not be offended that some straight guy is trying to thrust gays in the face of Muslims under the pretense that American non-Muslims are so much more tolerant than American Muslims.
But putting that fallacy aside, let’s be serious. The only patrons to that bar will be Fox News journalist for the first month. Then it will be dead. This whole thing is a waste of money and time.

… if you are right, they’ll find out soon enough, but at least it will not be a waste of my time and money (nor yours)!

Whoa! Look at all you haters!

Unbelievable…tolerance DEMANDED for the Muslim community but not of them. Un$%@##$@believable. The gay bar is proposed to “piss them off” but the Muslim Community Center in the heart of Ground Zero area re-build is not characterized as trying to piss anyone off or at least be provocative. DOUBLE STANDARDS DON’T HELP ANYONE. Demand tolerance? Then expect to have tolerance demanded of you. Same rules for everyone.

I think the bar might be a good idea.Since I don’t like moslems or weinie smoochers maybe the two groups will have a big blow up and kill each other.

I can imagine any gay men actually going to the bar. Well, except for GOProud.
