You know what two words strikes fear into the hearts of gay men?
Bachelorette Party
Growing up it would have been inconceivable to think I would read an article like the one David at Wicked Gay Blog wrote, Please Don’t Host Your Bachelorette Party at my Favorite Bar. The sad fact is David’s post is not the first nor is it likely to be the last on the subject and as much as I want everyone to be welcome at a gay bar I wish bachelorette parties would be banned.
The hordes of overexcited drunk / annoying friends dressed in preposterous attire have a way of making gay men feel marginalized in gay bars. I agree with David that we don’t want to listen to your crappy Top 40 requests that are played at your neighborhood bar (BTW – that is where you should be celebrating) and we don’t want to kiss you or feel your boobs just because of some ridiculous list your friends created for you. Your presence at our bars ruins the experience for the men who have come to what they thought was a gay bar. If you don’t believe me, come back some other night (preferably sober and with one friend rather than an entire sorority). You’ll see that gay bars still play an important part in gay life where friends connect and romances (for one night, one summer, a lifetime) still manifest. However, none of that is possible when a busload of obnxious women in penis tiaras crash a gay bar.
So I’d like to reiterate David’s message to all the future Bridezillas and their Maids of Honor who plan these evenings out – Please go elsewhere.

The Greater Boston Business Council (GBBC) appears to have revived a tradition previously hosted the Tuesday of Pride Week in Boston. The event has been slightly tweaked and now includes a pre-party at 38 Wareham Street in the South End. Tickets for this portion of the celebration are required; suggested donation is $25.00.
