GAY, SORTA, DISCRIMINATION AT A STRAIGHT CLUB?

Next Mag posts a screed about an incident at the Standard. Someone came on a nongay and non-gay friendly night.

If a club wants to cater to a gay clientele it needs to be open and accepting all the time, every night of the week.

Okay, I agree, but, wait. This one-gay-night-a-week thing at club venues has been going on for a lo-o-o-o-ng time around here. You're just noticing? C'mon Next.

I always saw the phenom as something of a half-step backward. The outcome is practically guaranteed.

Gay club life has been of the floating party variety in New York for some time. Sensitivity training for staff is a start, but how long does that stick?

This could be sorted out rather easily, with a solution I have in mind. It would take a little work, though, and perhaps the party givers don't have the time to spare.
