If you’re not a loyal devotee of Family Feud, you may have missed a recent celebrity edition. Teams led by actresses Kristin Chenoweth and Kathy Najimy went head to head. One of the questions was decidedly queer.
“Name something that’s better at a gay bar than other bars?” asked host Steve Harvey.
You can watch it below. And if you want to know the top seven answers without watching the video, scroll down below.

Chenoweth’s team won the first question, suggesting drinks were better in gay bars (they’ve obviously not been to some of the dives we’ve frequented…).
They then went on to guess six of the seven answers but failed on the seventh, so it went over to Najimy’s team, who guessed correctly.
In reverse order, the answers from the people polled were as follows.
“What’s better in a gay bar than other bars?”
7. Bathrooms
6. Performances/drag
5. Food
4. The dancing
3. Drinks/mojitos
2. People/hot men
1. The music
Now, we have to agree that the music in gay bars is generally better, but we do wonder if some of the other answers fall back upon certain stereotypes? Either way, it’s kind of nice to see gay bars referenced at all on such a family-friendly, primetime show.
What do you make of the answers?
“After the lips, what is your favorite part of a man to kiss?”
If that Family Feud moment passed you by, it’s likely down to the fact another exchange on the episode went viral. One of the other questions was, “After the lips, what is your favorite part of a man to kiss?”
That question was asked of Kristin Chenoweth and Kathy Najimy. Chenoweth buzzed in first and, off the top of her head, gave her answer: “It rhymes with heinous,” she told a shocked Steve Harvey.
Shockingly, it scored no votes in the poll.
Maybe they need to go to a gay bar and ask the patrons there…

Food? What?

In some places like Austin and Chicago, bars can be open earlier on weekdays or weekends and serve food to attract folk. They can be quite popular as far as bar food goes.
And for drinks, I definitely agree with obvious cavers that affect both types of bars.

These are opinion questions based mostly upon what people think or presume, not what they know.

Not so sure about the music anymore. Recently went to a gay bar where they were playing some Disney princess crap, maybe the Frozen soundtrack, and at an earsplitting level! Seriously, it was so loud that we’d have had to write down the drink order or perhaps communicate with the bartender in sign language. So we left for a less juvenile environment. These twinks today. Stay off my lawn, lol.

How does Steve Harvey have any job at all? Miss Colombia…oops, Miss Philippines…would never hire him.

The twinks ? Tea dance. ..I haven’t been in any bars in years. I’m guessing of when I lived in one. Rather go out full of energy would dance until I couldn’t anymore..Back when the trammps , Donna Summer were Hot…wouldn’t go these days…but I had my time. Now I play the old dance mixes few friends over laugh and remember when
Woteva
Amen to THAT!

The gold old disco days, the music was so much better. I was on a few ships where they did 70-80’s music nights it was so packed you could hardly get in if you could. Donna Summers and Gloria Gaynor sounded so nice, memories memories, not sure the new kids will have those memories with all this RAPP music.

I went to a neighborhood gay bar where the regulars brought food from home, especially during holidays. Chicken lo mein, pork loin, and even menudo one time were the highlights I remember. I appreciated the effort but never partook. Drinks were strong and bartenders were hot. Hey, bartenders was not on the list!

Just be happy drag queen Lauren Boebert didn’t bring her famous “fatal” pork sliders.

I saw a episode where Steve asked a male contestant pertaining to the question of what do you like in a woman .Steve asked if hs girlfriend was sexy and the guy said He sure is Steve. Then.steve stepped back and said well now and moved on

I’m not to sure about the bathrooms on that list, but then again it’s been a few years since I’ve been to bar, let alone a gay bar.

I came out in July of 1980 then I got met my husband in 2000 we still went out to the clubs for about 3 or 4 yrs then settled into 15yrs of playing house and not really having any interest in bars. Fast forward to 2019 when I found The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and started to become a member. Now as Sister Goldie Pearlnecklace I’m in a bar definitely 2x’s a month for our bingo games along with a bar ministry or 2 I found that not much has changed it’s actually gotten better. Except now I’m seeing it through the eyes of the old queens I saw occupying the bar stools around the bar while the younger men stood posed danced sometimes all at the same time. What’s interesting is that aside from the food not much has changed at all. I worked at a drag club in the early 80’s back in Philly. It like most gay clubs were still mob owned so the drinks sucked, back then if you sat still anywhere in the bars you took a chance of getting the clap through osmosis, dudes went at it whenever and wherever. The bathrooms don’t have as many people slamming or snorting drugs and they are generally A LOT cleaner than I ever remember, I can find a gay bar that plays dance, country, drag favs show tunes and karaoke just like in the “good ole days’ so having had a think about it I think that while those answers were generally right they got what should have been the top two things you find in a gay bar.
1. Love
2. Acceptance
Love Sister Goldie

#1, not my experience. I never heard any rock or punk at gay bars, except when there was a concert booked. Disco in the 1970s was the music of my sister’s bigoted, anti-gay friends, so that’s when I think of when I heard disco and dance music. And when I once requested something, from a DJ who said he ‘had everything’, he said ‘No-one wants to hear that sh*t in a gay bar.’ I said: ‘So I’m no-one? You really should change your little sign here that says you play all requests, then.’ If I wanted to dance, I went to straight bars, where at least nobody tried telling me i didn’t belong (which was very much my experience as a punk-rock fat bearded dude, I assure you, in gay bars…).

The ginger ale was generally not flat in gay bars, I’ll give that much. Only thing I ever drink. 🙂
