This week on The FayWhat?! Show:
A straight woman walked into a gay bar… and somehow made it all about her. In a now-viral TikTok, after feeling “ignored” by the patrons, she asked, “Are women welcome in gay male spaces?” The queer internet clapped back: being left alone in a gay bar isn’t hostility—it’s boundaries, babe.

One person said, “You weren’t being ignored, you just weren’t idolized.” And there it is. Allyship means showing up, not taking over. Gay bars are safe spaces born out of necessity, not Instagrammable moments. So next time you go to a gay bar, come to celebrate queer joy—not to center yourself in it. Being an ally isn’t about the spotlight.
