Yep! I'm almost used to comments such as 'that's hot' or 'can I watch?' when meeting straight men with a girlfriend, but even so I was shocked when a gay friend told me about this. Especially since they asked him for a photo, which just added an extra layer of ick. The main gay bar in Glasgow can be almost impossible for lesbians and other queer women to get into, because the management has responded to the problem of parties of straight women coming in by keeping out almost all women. And it's just...gay bars are supposed to be our space, but straight women coming in takes that away. (I'm in no way meaning to demonise straight women, because I know this is a minority. Just one that pisses me off very much.)
