Oasis Nightclub...What a waste of space
Last night I went to Oasis night club with my Cousin, roommate, and my roommate's friend, Johnny. We have been there a couple of times before and it was fun the first time, kind of lame the second time, and now my cousin and I are so over that he and I will likely not return.
The fact that we wont be going back has nothing to do with the fact that on Thursdays it becomes a lesbian bar, or the fact that our roommate likes going there every week and we want to go someplace new, the real reason is the matter in which an employee of Oasis treated my cousin and I on our last trip up there.
Apparently one of the male cocktail staff came up to my cousin and Johnny and told them that my cousin and I stick out like sour thumbs because we are the only white people in the bar. This comment, taken by itself is not all that bad, however the fact that it was an employee of the bar made both my cousin and I feel unwelcome. After this was said to my cousin left the building and went to wait in the car. I did not find out what was said until later on in the evening. While it is true that my cousin and I were in the minority, there certainly were other white people in the club...
It's really not that big of a deal that we don't feel welcome in this particular nightclub, because there are plenty more like it, and I am sure there are way more that are better than it. The next time I decide that I want to go out and spend $60-$70 at a night club, the owners of Oasis can rest assured that this white boy and his friends will opt for a bar that is not only closer to where we live, but also much more opened minded about its clientele.
(As a side note, you should reconcider the name of your establishment as you have no Wonderwall or Champagne Supernova.)

That's an interesting topic, considering the multi-faceted racism the gay community fosters.
I've first-handedly experienced blatant racial discrimination and prejudice from other men both inside and outside Southern California's gay clubs. The truth is, some gay men harbor misinformation about races and ethnicities, and they develop relationships, both platonic and sexual, based on those theories and notions. There are gay men who claim that they are openminded (liberal) with regard to their relationships and "preference." But the truth arises when many of them overtly oppose to dating members from a certain race/ethnic category because they do not see that specific GROUP as sexually attractive. Rather than viewing each person as an individual whose personality and sexuality are not prescribed by their race, gay men should view other gay men (or men who have sex with men) as people much like themselves, regardless of their cosmetic and/or cultural makeup.
As a direct response to your blog, I see that the clubs and bars in Southern California are becoming more like segregated playgrounds that, unfortunately, host the potential of perpetuating discrimination, which, in your case, is exhibited and exercised by even the most seemingly insiduous comments of all. But the fact of the matter is, Southern California's gay men have a sub-cultural problem concerning race, ethnicity, identity, and discrimination.

The way the employee treated you was not right. It should not be the way to treat customers. They should have instead accommodated you.
In business, it is important to have good communication skills especially those who interact with the customers. Employees must be given a training to improve their communication skills. This will help them to learn how to deal with customers so that they can do business with them.
