#ConfessionFriday
One time, I went to a gay night club... ALONE!
It was a Friday night. Friends didnt wanna party that night, but I did! And so... I went out by myself... to a club I had been to a thousand times. I was standing in line behind three dudes. These dudes looked like the stereotypical thug/gangsta type; bandanas, du-rags, ball caps, baggy clothes, cornrows, tattoos, chains with the Jesus piece, black & mild over the ear, gold grills, gucci belt... the whole 9! I heard them speaking and they sounded like how a group of hetero men would typically sound. **SIDEBAR: Before yall get crazy on me... Yall know how some gay dudes have recognizably gay voices/voice patterns/vernacular/cadence/etc.... These guys didnt speak like that. Their voices sounded like how I would talk with my homies.** Anyhoo... Girls were in line too. I was making mental notes of the chicks I was gonna dance with. So far... there was no sign that this was "gay night" at that club. But then I walked inside!...
First thing I did when I walked in was hit the bar. I ordered my #Budweiser and headed toward the stairs, bcuz the main dance floor was on the top level. The 3 guys that were in front of me in line outside were walking up the steps already. Then, all of a sudden... 1 of the dudes grabbed the other dude's hand. Then they locked their fingers together and continued walking up the steps. I paused on the steps... and I looked at my beer to make sure it said Budweiser on the label. I also looked inside the bottle to make sure I didnt see anything extra floating in the liquid. I wanted to make sure I wasnt drugged and I wasnt tripping. Then I saw some foxy ladies coming down the steps. So I regained confidence that this was the place to be... and it was just those two dudes who were together. But then I made it upstairs!....
When I got to the dance floor area, I did a quick survey of the room. I noticed like 6 Boy/Girl couples who were all hugged up and boo-loving on each other. Then I noticed a bunch of Boy/Boy couples and a lot of the flamboyantly gay dudes. To myself... I was like "What in the world is going on here?! Tonight is Friday! Gay night is Saturday!" And as I was thinking to myself... a dude came up to me and hit me with "Hey... are you by yourself?" I said "Yea, but I think I may be in the wrong place." And he said "Maybe. Maybe not. Stick around... you might have some fun." And then he walked away. I looked back around the room -- this time, a little more carefully -- and noticed that the Boy/Girl couples WERE NOT Boy/Girl couples!! They were Girl/Girl couples! But in each of the couples... one of the girls looked like a dude. At quick glance... you wouldnt be able to tell they were girls. So once I noticed that... it sealed the deal that this was definitely "gay night". I went back downstairs... finished my beers at the bar... then went straight home. I didnt even try to get my "dance" fix in by going to another club.
**FYI (mainly for RVA folks)... I cant remember the name of the Club. It used to be The Boss. But then it changed a couple times I believe. I think the last name I recall was "Club 534" maybe. And now it's called "Club Mansion" I think. But... whatever the main club's name was/is... the gay night was always called "Club Colours"... and it was supposed to only be on Saturdays. This happened somewhere between 2004-2007.
