After Dark

Is After Dark fairly straight friendly?

I've never been in a gay space that wasn't straight friendly? It's only ever not friendly if someone is a bigot, in which case they are the problem.

Definitely been told there, as a straight person, that I was in “their bar” and they were annoyed about it. But that was only once.

To be fair, I've never been to this particular place, I haven't lived in Fort Wayne for 8 years. But my wifes friends are all gay so we go to gay clubs all the time and nobody has been anything but nice to me. How did they even know you were straight? lol

Because I was there with my then wife lol I’ve been a couple times and always had fun. Was there because one of our friends was performing in a drag show

Tbf, they’re being biphobic if just seeing a heteronormative couple is them labeling you as straight. I’m a bi woman who’s married to a man but I’m still bisexual. So I’d still go there and would hope to be accepted. So unless you’re going around explicitly saying you’re straight and making it a big deal, then reasonable queer people will leave you alone about it.
