A friend of mine had the following experience last week at The Drake bar in Houston and wanted to share his story:
"So we went for a paint party, which was put on by Day Glow. And it was awesome by the way! Basically they have paint cannons that shoot water-based paint on you, people throwing paint on you, etc. And then dancing and all.
But anyways, J____ and I were outside waiting for friends and we were just hugging (maybe kiss on the cheek, can't remember for sure) when the bouncer made some comment like "oh gays, oh no! Get out!" and made us leave. We snuck back in to get our friends and as we were leaving, I was drunk...so I brushed up against the bouncer on the way out. He proceeded to call the cops over on us. Another bouncer then came over and he was really nice and basically just told us to stand on the sidewalk to avoid any trouble. So we did while waiting for our ride and then left."
I know one Houston bar that will no longer have my patronage, asshole bouncer or not.

What can we do to stop this from happening again? Anything?
Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done -- it sounds like it was an asshole bouncer. You can write an email to the promoter or PR person for the bar and explain the situation and inform them that you will not be frequenting the bar because of it.
