I have been a couple of times in goth clubs. I don't go there anymore so it's been a long time. Never really cared although that one dood was super skeezy so it was a little on the creepy side.

Addendum to my first post: though both straights and gays hve mistaken me for gay, nobody in a gay-predominant environment has ever made that mistake...or at least made me aware they thought that way.

(By "gay-predominant environment", I refer to organizations and locations in which being straight was the exception: I bowled in a great LG league for a year, for instance, and when I was in college, the best dance club- the one the ladies always wanted to go to- was so gay-predominant they advertised "Straight Night"...and were known in cities a 4 hour drive away.)

This reminds me...

I loved to go dancing in clubs, and was a good dancer, in my 20s. There were many times that I was used as a dance partner for girls whose boyfriends didn't dance. Usually the boyfriends assumed I was gay, and though the girls knew I wasn't, they never corrected their boyfriends' assumptions because they wanted to dance with me. Those boyfriends should have thanked me, but they never did. But the girls thanked me by hooking me up with their unattached girl friends.

No, and that's actually a bit upsetting when I think about it. Musician, radio personality, club DJ, entertainer, even a restuarant waiter for a couple of stints and noone ever openly wondered? Heck, I used to go to the gay clubs with some of the gals who danced the pole fantastic at a gentlemen's club.

It's better to feel you have a little mystery and ambiguity about one's self I would think.
 

People still think I am gay; I choose not to date (for personal reasons), I am neat, know how to cook and the like. So many people - my own parents still - think I am gay. Because heterosexual men are obsessed with the vagina, are filthy, can't boil water and so on. Failing to meet these criteria automatically means one is gay. Even if you are not.
