No Rose Ceremony For You!

I'd never thought about THIS, but they're right. So way to go Chicago gay bars that ban bachelorette parties. But it is a slap in the face to be obnoxiously celebrating your wedding in the bars of people who aren't allowed to legally wed. And the article is right, they usually do end up being as annoying and cloying as the straight guys they're trying to avoid. And the line about gay guys going to gay bars because they don't want to be around women, well that's only partially true. It's not so much that but that we want to go to a place where we know everyone is gay and to be around other gay people. There will always be women in gay bars. Fag hags gotta drink too! 
And that these parties come to gay bars and act like they're in a zoo is just beyond annoying. If you want to gawk and squawk go to Darcelle's. Women are mostly who go there anyways, right? 

Now the flip side is would it be okay if the tables were turned and straight bars were banning large gay parties? If they were loud and obnoxious as bachelorette parties usually are, then yes, I can see that being okay. But the facts are that we can't marry legally so we don't usually have these parties. And straight people you get all of society where the default is being straight. Let us have our few places where being gay is the default. Is that too much to ask? 

Now that I think about it bachelorette & bachelor parties should really be banned from all bars; gay and straight. They're just obnoxious and always get out of control.
