Gay club bans ‘female’ clothing

littl

To be fair he is lying on the floor...so he may have crawled in so as not to damage the floor

That's certainly what my children have attempted to do when they've put their shoes on and had to go back into the house

The stairs were the highlight for me...i would have taken pictures but i was too busy laughing

Violet wasn't dressed as a woman but the club in question doesn't like femme guys in there. It's for "masc" men.

Whilst I don't think the club is wrong in wanting to cater to a specific demographic this does highlight some of the reason why certain subsets of men have been chucked into women's spaces and been made our issue to deal with.

The men need to sort these conflicts out themselves.

He says in the article he rarely gets the chance to wear his boots - doesn't want to damage his flooring, I'm sure. He thought this club was the perfect opportunity but then realised he'd got it wrong, found another club round the corner and decided to seize his 15 mins of fame with both hands.

Bravo Parvel Bravo

I'm not too sure what Lion-O's problem is in the other article?!

This is not a new phenomenon in the world of gay clubs. High profile drag queen Violet Chachki, winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 7, was forcibly removed from a gay club for wearing femme clothing and acting femme.

Violet wasn't dressed as a woman but the club in question doesn't like femme guys in there. It's for "masc" men.

It caused a furore on the scene.

this thread is trending!

it's the kitchen surfaces. MNers can't resist a lovely clear surface.

Grrrrr

I can only imagine that he normally wears little casters on the bottom of those heels littlbrowndog, otherwise his lino must be covered in dimples.

That's the reason I wouldn't let him in my establishment, even if I wasn't hosting my legendary Bear Saturday.

and yes Parvel, that is a lovely clean kitchen

He's just on the pull, right? Bet he getting loads of offers on OLD now. That kitchen is flipping gorgeous.

I'm.... sort of on board with this, tbh. They want gay men, the type without vaginas, who are comfortable dressing according to the 'man' stereotype, only. Lesbian clubs are similar in that they just want gay women, the type without penises, but they seem to be more flexible on the clothing front.

Haven't been to a lesbian club I've never lived but out of interest, would a woman dressed up to the nine in heels, miniskirt, push-up bra be a rarity? I'm guessing so

But, but, I thought wearing a dress made you a literal woman these days? So if they are a men only club and TWAW even if only on the evenings they wear heels, then that's completely reasonable.

I expect loads of support from all the TRAs and Harrop for taking this stance.

Oh, silly me. Men are whatever they say they are...

The night is for bears. Very masculine-presenting gay men. So the dress code excludes feminine attire. Why is this news or worthy of protest?!

But but the pointy heels and the Lino !!

Strange - I know, and in central London! He must be minted. And so flexible.

I am cleaning my kitchen in pvc and having a pose down in Parvels honour. Love that guy.

That kitchen is huge.

Gosh that is a clean kitchen.

'Bear Saturday ' hilarious

Yeah just a guy kicking off cos somebody said no to him
Maybe wants publicity for his group

This sort of thing is exactly what the term “storm in a teacup” was designed for.

Badstyley why wouldn't you click through to pink news?

Pavel is a sensible chap.
"
It shouldn’t be about what you wear. That doesn’t define you. If you feel comfortable wearing high-heels or pink, if you feel good and you don’t hurt anyone, what’s the problem?” he added."

Gay club catering to bears doesn't want women (because gay) or men in drag/who're femmey (because bears)? Not seeing the problem here.

I fink usually they set up as members clubs rather than normal nightclubs to be better able to admit only blokes.

A private club owner can set any dress code they like.

The man turned away for wearing very high heeled boots found another, more suitable, establishment nearby

Not sure why a beardy drag queen is now holding a protest, when the man turned away doesn’t seem to care and the club owner has suggested they could host a less-restrictive dress coded night, on a day other than ‘Bear Saturday’.

And yes, that is a very clean kitchen.

Indeed. Bears tend to be burly bearded fellows and tend to wear items from the "barely there studded leather" section. Or nowt. It's quite a looks based scene.

(I imagine as obviously as a woman I have not been)
