#10. Hmmm. Yeah, I'm was getting that feeling too. I agree with you, that is the some of the perks. Maybe almost anything you want in a gay bar. ;)

I disagree with all of these rules…

Rule #1: If you feel the need to hide your penis, use the stall with the toilet, not the urinal. But in general, who cares? (Here's a new rule #1: when we're in a gay bar, lets not call them penis's)

Rule #2: Nothing wrong with having a crush on the bartender, especially if you just feel like flirting and not hooking up.

Rule #3: anyone can go to a gay bar. If it makes you happy, bring your grandparents.

Rule #4: Uhm, if you are so inclined, keep the shirts off please.

Rule #5: No.

it's just you ras.

re: the rules – i've broken them all (except for the urinal penis scoping, ew) and had a great time doing it. by the way, a gay man singing perry's original lyrics maintains the gender role challenge that made the song popular. trust, there's nothing edgy about a fairy kissing a boy and liking it.

RE changing lyrics: just sing the Cobra Starship I kissed a boy :P sure its the story of a straight guy who likes scaring other straight guys by making otu with them but its still funnier than Perry…

As for why people take their shirts off…has anyone seen the episode of Family Guy where Peter tries ecstasy?……i think that might have something to do with it

Thanks for replacing the uber-annoying Davey Wavey with John. It's a vast improvement.

"I swear most gay bars design the layout of their urinals to facilitate taking a peek."

Of course, they do. Arranging the place to facilitate such things leads to increased sales. Given a choice, most single men choose to go to the bar where they have the greatest chance of leaving with someone instead of alone. Facilitating such meetings is good for business.

"Don't scope out other dudes' dicks in the bathroom"

Perhaps he should start a campaign to get "lookey-loo" partitions put up in all gay bar bathrooms. I swear most gay bars design the layout of their urinals to facilitate taking a peek.

Changing the lyrics makes sense if you're singing a love song, but neither of the examples he gave are love songs, and the switch in Single Ladies it doesn't even scan properly!

This was definitely interesting to hear, and I fully agree that having a ton of straight female girls with you is a bit obnoxious when you want to meet new people.

I have a question, though. Why on earth do you insist that all the bartenders are either straight or taken? Yes, there are a lot of straight bartenders, but there ARE good-looking nice guys who are single.

As for the heterosexual lyrics… "I kissed a boy" doesn't fit the song at all. I completely disagree with it; it just makes it campy, honestly.

I don't know, he seems to have a lot of hang-ups about how others should behave. One of the few perks of being gay that you don't fit into society, you can do what you want. Want to take your shirt off? Go ahead. Want to bring your girlfriends? Go ahead. Do what you want at a gay bar (and anywhere you go).

I always change the lyrics, it's much more fun; you don't feel like you're stuck in a heteronormative society.

Actually, the six girls rule would be great. Even more than one would be great because the last thing I want to hear in a gay bar is drunken squeals that sound like they're going to shatter all the glass (and my eardrums). The remainder of them seem really arbitrary and silly. When you mix alcohol and horny, you get guys staring at each other's dicks in the bathroom. Just par for the course. This rule should've been replaced by don't grope other guys unless they've invited you to!

I'm going to get a lot of bitching for this, but i loathe A LOT of straight women at a gay bar. a few is no big deal (in fact i like that!) and if they are legitimately hanging out with multiple gay friends – well, who the fuck am i to bitch?

but i can't stand the (1) loud fag hags who live vicariously through their homo accessory or (2) the girls who want to see the homo minstrel show. They don't go to relax and hang out, or dance and have fun… they are there to view the spectacle of the novelty. I hate being looked at as a novelty.

I go to the bar to relax. I go to the club to dance and have fun. I don't want to go to either and feel like a zoo animal… "oh, look Charlene… HOMOSEXUALS! let's do shots!"

Don't get me started on bachelorette parties…

Cue eye-roll.

Because all I ever want to do at a gay bar is meet "gay guys like myself." I bring 6 straight girls to the gay bar because I want to have fun and dance. Not meet completely uninspiring gay men.

Kudos to John. And Kudos to Queerty for picking out a gay video blogger with a lot more intelligence than… your previous obsession.

Queerty has now raised back up from the 6th website I check to… the 6th website I check.

(sorry, but i can't take you seriously until you bring back Andrew, stop looking to be offended at every turn, and ditch those simplistic offenses to literature you call "puns" in the Morning Goods titles)

Aside from the not bringing too many straight women bit of advice, I'm not sure how useful any of his suggestions are.

And, um, why on Earth should a gay guy change the lyrics 'I kissed a girl' to 'I kissed a boy'?

What happened to the Davey Wavey rule that if you are gonna be Queertys pet vlogger ya gotta do it in your tighty whiteys?
