take back the night, darling (continuing today's theme). leave the gym bunnies behind, pick *any* bar, call all your friends, and presto: you're playing guerrilla queer bar. supercute!

Is this Gay Pride day? Count the number of posts thus far today--at least three have to do with gayness. What does tell us?

I'm just amused that your search terms were "guerrilla fag bar". Yowza.

With all due respect, I organized a guerrilla fagbar outing at the Loose Moose in the province of Toronto circa 1991 after the frat-boy resto ran an allegedly homophobic ad. Of course, we didn't have that term for it at the time, but we may now backform it to apply to earlier events.

It was the only successful action by the gulag known as Queer Nation. This was just as it was being overrun by bloodthirsty leather-jacketed turbodykes, whose sensibility and quasi-Koranish litany of taboos still rule this parochial burg.
