It wasn't the thing to do. They were not let in, obviously. Randy says that in his experience, lesbians and lesbian clubs are among the least tolerant of straight visitors. In fact, they tend to shy away from most gay clubs as well, preferring lesbian nights at dance venues or all-women bars. I've only known two or three lesbians that go to gay clubs.
Lesbians are like straight men, basically.
They have to prove themselves, and they think that they have to act tough, and I don't know if it's an insecurity or what. Julie, a San Francisco-based photographer, agrees that lesbian clubs are not welcoming to straight visitors, but says she's put off by that. I actually hate girl bars because there's too much drama and tension there. Everyone has slept with their best friend, so I go to men's gay clubs to meet straight girls or girls that aren't typically lesbian but may be curious to explore. Like many straight people, Julie is drawn to the open and friendly environment presented by gay clubs.
