Why is it assumed that a gay bar is cross dresser freindly?

That is too funny! I was a dj for 16 years and always dreamt of djing in full dress! Still do! For years I thought i was the only one! Good to know I'm not alone! Lol

A DJ for 32 years here. Made a nice living at it. Never had any desire to DJ en fem. Always kept it separate from my work. Saw a few CDs at our singles dances over the years. Nobody bothered them. Some of the men would dare each other to ask the CD to dance. One guy didn't know the "lady" he asked to dance was a CD, until the other guys told him. His face got red and he left. One "lady" looked really hot, I have to say.

It really depends on the venue. In Denver, most "gay bars" are trans-friendly. I saw a list online of the top gay bars in Denver, and I realized I'd been to the first four on the list! (Tracks, the Black Crown, Charlie's, and the Aqua Lounge)

However, there is one gay bar in Denver that is noted for its unfriendliness to transwomen...probably because it caters to "bears," or the really hyper-masculine kind of gay men. It's been so bad that there have actually been complaints to the Colorado Civil Rights Commission. Of course, given its clientele, it's unlikely I'd be interested in going there anyway...

Really, Denver is a very "open city" for trans people; we can go pretty much anywhere.
