Blanca's Gay Bar Crusade Lands Her In the Slammer!

Blanca's misdirected crusade at the gay bar lands her in jail until some "kind soul" bails her out . But it's Elektra so NO not exactly purely humanitarian or sisterhood motives!

[@seankirkham3488]

The fact that the gay men cheered for the police, the same ones who 2 decades before would have beaten and arrested them. Disgusting.

ah yes cuz the same cops that were involved with Stonewall are the same exact ones that pulled transgenders out of gay bars. regardless, they have a job to do. u should be mad that cops also have to defend the kkk which to me is crazy

I haven't seen the show and I don't agree with them being Transphobic to her and misgendeding her but if some "Gay Bars" are a homoerotic space for Gay men and Bi men that is okay and I don't see why a woman would feel a need to impose on that or demand admission. It's a bit like trans women being on Grindr which should be a rare homoerotic space but it's spoiled by that. I wont be responding to any replies.

Before jumping to conclusions remember in the 2nd clip when Blanca gets arrested another patron is a gay black man.But Lulu was right trans have always been at the bottom in terms of respect and acceptance both within and outside of the community.

[@nathanielrodriguez1873]

Butterfly Kisses I get that, but the club owner straight up said that the clientele at that bar was preferably white and that night life is still segregated. That man was there because they couldn’t use the “boys only” excuse.

[@TASconfidential]

The gay black man in the bar is a snow queen.. white gay bars accept a sprinkle of desperate snow queens who worship them (the Uncle Tom types), but other than that, they don’t mingle with blacks at all, and don’t want them in their establishments

[@denizen52]

The black patron perhaps was code switching to assimilate to upper middle class white cis gay standards. Yet, in the words of the legendary Crystal LaBeija, “I have every right to show my color!” Support members of our community wherever you are.
