The close-knit French Quarter gay community has lashed out today at the constant stream of maids-of-honour booking Hen’s Nights at their local waterhole.
The Sex Cauldren on Rue Langue de L’homme has been a gay institution for almost a generation – up until now, says community LBGTI leader Cecil Freidman.
“That bar was a safe, inclusive space for the wider gay community in town,” he said.
“But recently, almost every night of the week, it’s awash with half-pissed women clip-clopping all over the dance floor in their last-season Jimmy Choos and Estée Lauder,”
“I don’t want to sound like an arsehole but can you please fuck off to somewhere else? This is our bar and there’s literally fucking hundreds of places around this shit heap of a desert community that you can go to for your Hen’s than in our fucking Sex Cauldren!”
Mr Freidman’s sentiments were echied by the management at The Sex Cauldren, who say they’ve taken the feedback from the community and are now looking to restore a bit of order.
Popular bar manager Oli Desantis-Cook said they have noticed how much the Hen’s Nights have detracted from the vibe of the place.
They support limiting – or even banning the number of Hen’s parties the venue would host.
“You know, this place is what it’s always been. A place that we can call home away from home,” they said.
“How would you like it if the boot was on the other foot? How about if each time you plodded on down to your local pub after work in your $300 fuck boy polyester suit for a few cold ones and a slap, there were a couple dozen gay blokes asking you to dance every five minutes?”
“Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
More to come.
