Question: What is the best way to present a piece like this as not to offend anyone!?

*****
UNTIL YOU FIND YOUR DREAMS

I had done as Julie Andrews suggested,
climbing every mountain, fording every stream,
following every rainbow, until I found this gay bar
in San Diego!. It was right outside the back gate!. As I
walked down the street, I wondered how there was
a bar so close to the Navy base that I’d never heard of!.

I ordered a draught beer and began playing pinball!.
It was a short, stubby little game!. I didn’t really
notice the board, only the coin slot and flipper knobs!.

I sipped away at my beer and played my game!.
After the second ball dropped, I began to notice
their very interesting wallpaper!. It was like the pages
of a magazine written in French!. I played my third ball!.

When it dropped, I glanced up again at the wallpaper!.
There were lots of art deco style images of men and…
wait…where’s the women!?

I turned around and scanned the patrons!. They were all
looking at me!. I finished my beer in one gulp!.!.!.

One time we, unknowingly, went into a gay bar in Vegas!.!.!.didn't bother me one bit!.!.!.it was all male customers!.!.!.my companion was a bit uncomfortable, but such is life!.!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have never understood why straight men are so uncomfortable in gay bars, while straight women don't feel at all intimidated by lesbian establishments!. I will probably never understand!.

EDIT: Serves Dondi right for picking up a stranger in a bar!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hahaha!!
I think we visited that place when we were there, though it's hard to recall!.
All I know is I did more walking (around the parade deck) than I've ever done before!. We slept real good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nice narrative style!. This could easily be expanded into a short story!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I can see no offense in this, very funny, just 'cause you're straight doesn't mean you have to be rigid!

I once came to Atlanta to visit my girlfriend in 1965!. We got into a argument, so I walked down Peachtree Street to a bar called 'The Pink Pussycat'!. Being from small town, Ms!., I never dreamed what it was!. I ordered a drink and was very soon engaged in conversation by a short blonde girl of slight build and buxom virtues, who after another drink asked if I would like to go for a short ride in her car!. A few minutes later, we were on a wooded dirt road, and parked!. What I discovered was not only a shock to my manhood, it was unbelievable to a 19 year old country boy!. SHE WAS A HE! I left it on the road and drove it's car back to Peachtree street, spitting out the window the whole trip, thinking of all the slobbers we had been swapping, and not being able to tell the difference!. I apologized to my girlfriend, and we made up!. Maybe this will let you know why straight men are not comfortable in gay bars, Elaine!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

On the poem: It was a well told story that would fit nicely in the pages of your book!.!.!. of life!.

On the subject: Having been stationed in San Diego only a few years prior to you I know from where you are coming!. My experience was harsher than yours!.!.!. I was touched by a man in a place where no man has gone before!.!.!. and all I did was share a taxi cab with a stranger!. Later in life I found this not to be normal behavior for gays!.!.!. there are both hetrosexual perverts and homosexual ones!.!.!.!. it was my misfortune to be the attempted molestation of the latter one!.!.!. I was rather violent in those days and the outcome did not bode well for the stranger!.

note: I have no discomfort being anywhere as long as my space is respected!.!.!. in reference to Elaines comment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I went to a gay bar with a group of friends, male and female, during my year of freedom and fun and boy did I have the best time!. However, poor little Cory who was still a pup was very uncomfortable and begged me to pretend we were a couple!. also, now that I think of it, it was a bit awkward going to the ladies room with 6'4" drag queens walking by the stalls!. I just figured they weren't interested in what I had anyhow!.!.!.little cognitive dissonance there!. Then shortly before we were married my hubby and I were on Bourbon St!. in Naw'lens (accent) and accidental entered an adult toy store for gay men!. I wondered why we received strange glances when we entered!. It wasn't until we really started browsing that we realized where we were!. So, giggled a little and then browsed some more so as to seem not uncomfortable by the situation and then quietly left!.

Poor Dondi!.!.!.heheheWww@QuestionHome@Com
