Well here goes the bitter truth from my point of view.
The gay community here in Windsor is a very divided one, with some gay men that never go out and if they do, it is totally not to the only gay bar or so called gay bar in Windsor. They stay at home and never support the bar and now I understand why.
To be a part of the gay Bar, you must be a self indulged, sometime coke snorting idiot, I do not and have not ever done drugs, but am sure the back of the toilet in the ladies room there gets used more for snorting coke that it has ever been used as a washroom.
The other half of the gay community are just snobs in my opinion and will be friendly but never want to be friends, to me that is like putting your hand out to shake another but then withdrawing it quickly.
After years of working and managing gay bars and other bars all over the country I have never experienced such an intolerance for people who share one common thing, being a minority. They have segregated myself to never want to associate with 98% of the gay people here.
There is no interaction and no friendliness at all amongst most of the gay community here unless you can get into their circle of friends at some point and some how.
I am actually not interested in trying to break through barriers to meet new friends and have people in my life who are not there for the long haul and are only interested in their own and their circles self centered little narrow minded lives.
I have often thought of opening a gay bar here and am now of the believe that this would be a horrible investment as the gays here do not support their own and they also do not appreciate anything or anyone who tries to do anything for the community. It is no wonder all the bars over the last 15 years have closed and or been closed down.
Also PRIDE here is a complete joke, I would say to the city, cancel it, People do not support it and the parade had more people in it then watching it, what a complete joke.
Now the drag queens here are a whole nother matter, if you can call them that, they are just horrible and I am sorry but daisy dukes and coconut shell tops are not a drag outfit you can pull off for the entire pride weekend.
So the bar here is an upstairs run down space with no doors on the fridge, a cash register with from the late 80s, no draft beer and lately no fountain pop, so at the end of my last visit they had run out of sprite, this is ridiculous, they are a bar.
The floors are uneven and the stairs are steep, I am waiting till one of the over served customers falls down them on the way home.
The only saving grace of this place is the staff and that's it, The owner doesn't care at all and wont even hang a pride flag in his establishment. Where are we 1970?
I for one will never return to this spot, though my options are limited here so I think if I want to go to a gay bar , I will have to cross the border and hit up Detroit for a night. Or when we have a trip planned to Toronto , I will just have to make the best of it.
These are just my opinions and observations over the last 1 and a half years, since we have moved here
