John Mayer’s Palm Springs gay bar wonderland

Here at GayCities, it’s no surprise our members report having fabulous times at gay bars all over the world. And straight women have long rhapsodized about gay places over the alternative. But now a straight man has added his name to the growing chorus. And not just any straight man: pop star John Mayer, linked with many a Hollywood starlet. The tattooed crooner had this to say after spending a beer-drenched night (including a brief man-kiss) at Palm Springs‘ Toucan’s Tiki Lounge.

“If you are a man in life and you haven’t gone to a gay bar, you haven’t really danced. Because you’re talking about a bar full of men without that dumb, alpha-male, ego, pushing, shouldering… you can actually have a great time without worrying in this sort of alpha-dog defensive position of like, who’s over here, who’s gonna try and come up, and who’s gonna talk shit, and who’s gonna do this and do that. You can actually just go and have a great time. We did have such a great time, to hear that somebody had written a story that I was getting kisses planted on me, it just sort of reduces it to that real stereotypical…you know that’s why I wrote, after that I was like nobody’s more aggressive than drunk white chicks. They’re terrible.”

Here’s to you, John!
