Gays


            The activity I participated in for my cultural activity was an outing to a local gay bar called peaches. We met at the bar and walked in I felt very welcomed by everyone. My first thought's before going were that people were going to assume that I was gay. After having walked in and my interviewee were questioned who is that with you and he told them just a friend from middle school. They left it at that and asked what I was drinking? Being as though I was there to do a paper I drank soda. I sat back and observed and saw that they dance around and act silly as any straight person does in a bar. It did however make me a little uncomfortable to see men on the dance floor dancing together and kissing. They didn't make me feel uncomfortable as society probably would them walking into a place where predominately straight people hang out. The people were very friendly and welcoming into there community (gay bar) they immediately talk to me and made friends with me after my having told them I was straight. Where as if they were to walk into a straight bar as a couple they would be made to feel uncomfortable or even ignored. .
             The history of person's who are Gay, Lesbian, or Bisexual that I can understand are that back when the WWII was going and Jews were in concentration camps they held people of same sex orientation there as well and they were made to wear pink triangles as the Jews were made to wear star of David. Some of the characteristics that were shared with me from a member of this group were that they consider themselves as being warm, caring, neutering, and at times predatory. There are many things of importance to this group there main importance that I got was the importance of friendship. Family is of importance but most struggles with acceptance when it comes to family, which causes them to build a family of their own within friendship. They also consider their community their family.
