Throughout history, LGBTQ spaces have served as crucial sanctuaries for queer people to safely be themselves. Once thriving bastions of social advancement for the community at large, today, many of them are on the brink of closure.
That’s why we’ve set up a donation fund to help #SaveOurSpaces. Head here for more info.
Los Angeles’ Fubar is just one of the venues that needs our help to make it to the other side of Covid.
And judging by this trip down memory lane to Mario Diaz’s massively popular Thursday night staple, BFD, we’re all going to benefit from the doors staying open.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
It isn’t the longest-running weekly queer party in the country for no reason.
Queerty encourages you to stay safe during the Covid 19 pandemic. If you choose to travel, we recommend that you follow all CDC Travel Guidelines and adhere closely to all local regulations regarding face coverings, social distancing and other safety measures.

Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot, Hot! I love the feminine touches as well. This is where the disproportionate gender binary norms are equal (men revealing as much flesh as women do, perhaps a little more).
Godabed
Yes a very diverse group… no thanks.
Wicked Dickie
13 pictures of muscle white and latino gay dancers. Black gays do not enter. You’re not welcome.
SPEEDOSWIMMER
And no Asian men???

Is there a filter that makes people just look unclean?
Dr.Knowze
I’d like to download that filter!
Jack Meoff
A couple were ‘hot’ but most just looked like dirty tweekers
djguapo
Well yeah sure they’re hot, but you have to scroll until the 4th or 5th picture to see a go-go of color.
LumpyPillows
What a bunch of whiners.
Tombear
They probably look better in person.

Soo many dancers of color!
cuteguy
A lot of their “dancers” are from Adonis which is legendary in New York. Tim and Matt Adonis do an incredible job
sillyme
I thought they we’re all hot and some of these men look like it was out of a vintage style photo shoot
BigJohnSF
By all means, because men of color should be objectified, degraded, and prostituted too!

I live just a few blocks from FUBAR, so I’ve been there many times over many years. There have always been a lot of popular Latin and Asian dancers, and there have also been Black guys performing but they just don’t seem to get the attention that the others do. A business exists to make money and if there is not the interest in black performers the business is going to give their patrons what they want. And if a Black dancer is not going to get good tips why would he want to work there? This has nothing to do with discrimination; it is about what gets your juices flowing!
DefiantOne
Yeah, and anybody who knows how racist your neighborhood is, knows you’re full of crap and making excuses.
If black dancers are the ONLY dancers at Fubar not getting attention, yeah, I’m sure that has notthing whatsoever to do with the legendary racism of L.A. gays who just can’t seem to find black guys attractive. Clearly, nothing whatsoever to do with race.
Yeah, why *would* black dancers want to work in Jim Crow segregation? I can’t imagine why.
I remember when porn studios used the old “It’s the market not us” excuse as to why they couldn’t feature black models. Then OnlyFans came along and proved there was a market for hot black models all along. A huge one. The racist porn studios were always full of crap and so are you.

Aw, look, it only took 3 comments before our woke little ‘mos played the race card…over and over and over again.
For the love of God, they’re stripper (nee hookers) not presidential candidates.
You want to see a bunch of black guys dancing in a thong…go found your own stripper bar. Problem solved. But stop telling me how to run mine…
Having worked in a similar establishment there are 2 things to remember:
1. Bar profits are thin, sometimes as low as 3% and 80% bars go out of business in 3 years or less.
Which takes us to our second point.
2. Be it DJs, cheese fries, or strippers, you offer what SELLS. Guys want (and tip) strippers that get them HARD…not WOKE.
Enough with the whining. Shouldn’t you be out protesting something? Burning down a dry cleaners or kicking puppies?
TheX86
Quite a paragraph. Way too much word salad m, when you just could have said you’re a racist & kept it moving.
armandov
Unrelated to your comments about the go go dancers, bars typically have profit margins of 10-16%. The price for one beer at a bar equals the cost of a six pack. I get that bc their operating costs are high but also the customers pay most of the bartenders salaries with tips. The owners are only paying them a base wage and most likely not health insurance or year end bonuses.
justyouandi
Topman60640 is absolutely right and TheX86 is a moron who probably keeps a chart of the races he’s had sex with so as not to exclude any color. I’m a white guy who is just not attracted to smooth blonds, although SOME OF MY BEST FRIENDS are smooth blonds; I just don’t find them appealing sexually. There is a limit to the concept of inclusion.
DefiantOne
And it only took a few more comments for some triggered racist to start whining about woke this and woke that, the 2nd favorite empty buzzword of white supremacists everywhere right now, next to “cAnCeL cULtUrE” *yawn*
You want to run your establishment on white supremacy and Jim Crow segregation, do that. But no, you can’t silence those who call bullshit on your phony insistence that you pushing your racist inability to find any black skin on any guy anywhere attractive is just some innocent business decision.
This isn’t 1971, we know better. Porn studios pulled the same racist bs lie for years. “We’re not racist, black guys just don’t sell!” Then OnlyFans came along and proved there’s a gigantic market for sexy black models.
Topman60640 is a full of crap bigot, and TheX86 is the type of gay who wrote a letter to the manager when Grindr got rid of its race filter. There is not limit to the knots into which racists will twist themselves to justify their segregation and prejudice.
justgeo
Yes Filter makes them all look SKANK!
Dr.Knowze
Where do I download this filter? I’d like my photos to look that hot and steamy!
TomG
I guess some people’s definition of “hot” is different than mine. I do not find these men attractive at all.
Aaron
“Hot” is subjective.
It’s also just bunch of mainly White furry muscle dudes.
Queerty is and has always been for old gay White dudes that never grew up lol
Pass.
mailliw110
Sorry, the 80’s look never appealed to me.
