Yeah, don't get me wrong, I may not have put enough emphasis on this, but I only ever felt out of place when I was alone at a very aggressively segregated lesbian night.

If anything I've found it easier to talk to women at lesbian bars because there isn't a weird sexual cat and mouse game going on and I feel like I can just put on a casual persona and chit chat. I don't think that I would necessarily seek out a lesbian bar without a lesbian friend (actually I know that I wouldn't,) but if my neighborhood bar happened to be one I'd probably feel comfortable enough getting a drink once in a while. The sexuality of the clientele would never really be me first concern anyway.
