Well, I'm straight and a woman, so I probably don't belong here... But I'm also a lawyer and can't shut up.
I've thought a bit about this, since friends who are gay have expressed sadness over strictly gay places disappearing. To me, it can be seen as a natural result of LGBT being more accepted in society. When you are no longer "the odd one" there's no need for special clubs or such. We blend together.
Is this good or bad? I don't know. To me, though, I'm not a fan of separate spaces. We are all humans and it makes more sense to me if we socialize with people who we connect to rather than those who perhaps only share our sexuality. I mean, I don't enjoy hanging out with all straight people, so why would the LGTB community be much different? Then, at the same time, I can understand the need to be among people where no explanation or similar is needed. Where you can be the majority. It's of course difficult for me truly to grasp this, but I think I can at least sense it.
To hear some couples are hidden away is just appalling and plain wrong.
So it's understandable that the disappearance of special clubs is a sad occurrence for some. I just wish they wouldn't be needed in the first place. But we have a way to go until we are there.
