One of the arguments explaining why this phenomenon of diminishing lesbian presence is happening is that social milieu plays the major part...
Quote: "Affluent middle class white lesbians are not spending their money going to bars..."
Wow....just wow....this hit me like a tone of bricks. Then I realized this actually really hits home for me, having never been a bar goer....
My next thought is what needs to be done to bridge the gap?
What is the alternative real-estate for lesbian visibility recitation if any, physical or virtual real estate? |
The "scene" that my wife and I were into 12-14 years ago is MUCH different than our lives now. We both loved the lesbian bars, and the Long Beach area had several...Que Sera, Executive suites (not exclusively lesbian all nights), etc etc...but as we settled down to raise my daughter and live our boring average life, we stopped hitting the bars unless it was for a special occasion like a birthday.
Gay men ( of which I have a large group of friends) love to go out drinking, dancing, have stranger sex and party every weekend and several week nights. They keep the gay bars open and thriving, when I've had a drink and gone home for the month.
We turned to women's RV camping groups and lesbian golf clubs when we need "family time", but mostly it is Church and family and regular every day life for us.
