Comments on: Phase 1: Ladies Only for Good? http://thenewgay.net/2008/05/phase-1-ladies-only-for-good.html For Everyone Over the Rainbow Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:23:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Allison http://thenewgay.net/2008/05/phase-1-ladies-only-for-good.html#comment-2502 Allison Sat, 10 May 2008 01:59:00 +0000 http://tngmichael.wordpress.com/2008/05/09/phase-1-ladies-only-for-good/#comment-2502 Bravo, bravo! The Phase and I have a love/hate relationship, but one of the reasons why I keep going back is, when I go, no matter night it is, I know I'll be in a majority women crowd. In a city where queer women constantly complain that it's hard to find other queer women, the Phase has been the only consistent place where you know women will be. <br/><br/>On a related note: all the men that I've brought to Phase (and it's been a few of them, usually on big events) have all loved Phase. And once inside, no one looked at them weird or gave them shit. They respected me, the people there, and the space, and we all responded in kind. <br/><br/>Phase is good for this city, period.

You pretty much summed up my feelings on the subject, although you did it far more eloquently than I ever could have.<br/><br/>Perhaps I'll see you at karaoke some Thursday!

I have never been to any of the establishments you mention (I live in a far away land where there are NO gay/lesbian/trans bars at all) but I don't see what the fuss is about this policy. Seems pretty reasonable to me-especially in a big city with a huge variety of venues for pretty much any taste or social agenda. Phase 1 should keep doing what it's doing if patrons such as yourself enjoy it.<br/>Hell, I'm mad because no bars in my town will let me bring my dog inside. Nicely put Meagan.
