My friends having a birthday thing at a LGBTQ drag karaoke bar. Am I gonna feel uncomfortable there as a straight guy?

Birthday thing? Or birthday party?

And also if you say that you are going to be with your friends.. Then I don't think there should be anything to cause discomfort to you..

The more seriously you take it the more you'll struggle. The more light hearted you take it the smaller the divide is likely to be. They're only people. One or two may try to hit on you or tease you but there's arseholes in every group of people, I imagine the majority will be fine.

Just do not bend over, or have a twitchy eye

Only if that kind of thing makes you uncomfortable. I'm straight and have had awesome times in "alternative" venues.

@Ynotisay ok that’s good to know

@MrMonnyPenny This might make you feel a little more easy about it. I went with a couple of gay friends to a lesbian stand up comedy show in a gay club. I was, I'm pretty sure, the only straight guy there. I was sitting right in the middle of the club, leaned back in my chair, and CRASH. I toppled backwards and took out the table behind me. It got really quiet. And then it was "Look at the straight guy." HA. I had no option but to stand up and take a bow. It was funny and everyone was super cool. So if you feel a little weird at some point, just launch yourself at a table. They'll love you for it. :)

Only if you want to, it's neither catching nor compulsory, just enjoy yourself, other people's sexuality only becomes relevant if your going to have sex.
I feel uncomfortable at those places as a lesbian. It depends on your tolerance lmao I hate flamboyant people so
Free drinks all night for you buddeh... if you play it smart

why.... do alternative lifestyles give you the jeebs?
MrMonnyPenny · 22-25, M
@HeteroDox No, but there may be things I don’t want to participate in and then I’ll be bored.

@MrMonnyPenny ...and in the back of yur mind wondering.
MrMonnyPenny · 22-25, M
😂 @HeteroDox
I don't know. Are you?
MrMonnyPenny · 22-25, M
I think I’m fine with it, but I’m worried I’d be bored not taking part in whatever the activities are@TwiddlerofThumbs
@MrMonnyPenny Why do you think you wont take part in the activities? Just don't think about it too much. Go to have fun, it will be fun!
MrMonnyPenny · 22-25, M
Ok ok 😂@TwiddlerofThumbs
You shouldn’t be. Not being there with your friends. If you were by yourself, perhaps. But even then, it’s unlikely anyone would bother you.

If it's not your thing there's nothing wrong with not showing up
