It's been a bit since this has happened. More shootings have occurred.
We have gone out a few times since then. And we had fun.
Then COVID hit, and the options were all closed.
In the last year, we went out only 3 times to gay bars for safety reasons. Houston is a pretty open and accepting area.....for the most part. The one place we really enjoyed, changed its format a LOT (Hamburger Mary's), where the front was a hookah lounge (not my thing at all), and then, in the back, was the drag show, but they had a cheezy buffet style set up that reminded me of school cafeteria food. The performers were GREAT, but the food stunk.....Their drinks were still pretty strong though!
We honestly don't want to go out and risk too much.
I will say that, with my Jeep clubs, I have been in the Houston Pride parade 3x. We had a LOT of fun with those, and enjoyed the experience.
My GF and I have never had any negative comments pointed towards us, though I'm not blind enough to think that there has never been any.....but we haven't had anything so blatant. And I'm hoping never to have it happen. The older I get, the more "fuck around and find out" I get LOL. I don't think I could keep my mouth shut......which I know could be dangerous....not sure for who though! LOL
