A: "Talk"!
The frequency or acceptability of indecent proposals depends a lot on the establishment. The club I go to most often, if someone were to treat me the way Jamsey was treated, I would just have to lean over the bar and tell the bartender that the person was being offensive, and the person would be asked to leave the bar, and quite possibly told not to come back.
Now I'm not going to innocently claim that my word would be trusted completely "just because it is the right thing to do", but protecting the cross-dressers is the official bar policy, specifically conveyed to to us by successive club presidents. (It happens that my word probably would be trusted: I've been around there long enough to have earned that trust.)
I was indecently proposed to in a completely different establishment, by a severely drunk fellow, who had been indecently proposing to a number of other people; fortunately he was so drunk that he could not be taken seriously. But in that place, the staff just distracted him and jollied him along to not be sitting amongst the patrons. Legally they probably should have asked him to leave (it being illegal to serve alcohol to someone who is drunk), but anyhow. Some of the staff did quietly assure me that they would keep watch to ensure he didn't bother me again.
