Like it or not, religion runs the world. How many wars were NOT religion
based?

Lots.

Perhaps, but I'd suggest more were religion based than were not.


Then it's probably safe to say you're not a homosexual.

No, I'm not.

well, for one...there aren't actually that many homosexuals out there.
Given that for straights or gays both, the bar scene is American culture's
primary meeting ground for sexual partners, it's useful to have a bar
where a homosexual can go and not waste time hitting on heterosexuals.

So homosexual people separate them selves from the rest of the population,
in turn, feeding the discrimination and segregation they so fiercely
protest!

There are other reasons, including the fact that discrimination still
exists

And, as I've said, is fed (in a lot of cases, but not all, I grant you)by
homosexual people themselves!

and so having a relative safe place to go is also useful. I think it's
silly to criticize homosexuals for seeking out specific places for
themselves.

If all homosexual people went to the 'straight' clubs and pubs, they'd still
meet each other there! Why have a separate one? You don't hear straight
people crying discrimination when we aren't allowed in a 'gay' club. Sexual
'hook-ups' are not the only reason one goes to a pub or club.

If you're at a bar to meet up with a sexual partner, I think that one's
sexual preference probably *would* be a required part of the conversation
at some point.

*If* I were at the bar or club to find a sexual partner. As I said before,
that is not the only reason to be at a club or pub.
