re: #195 Killgore Trout

Yeah, I sure gay muslims observe strict sahria law. It’s not a good business model. The area is very expensive and even people with good business plans go bust. It’s stupid and nobody’s going to keep throwing money down that pit.

It’s possible it would work. First off, it would not just attract gay Muslims, even if that is the “theme.” It’s possibly going to attract a basically upscale gay crowd period, especially in that neighborhood (there are thousands and thousands of office workers in that area, and a lot of relaxing and socializing after work goes on there), and the idea that frequenting the establishment is also supporting a pro-gay cause, I think it would be very attractive to gay and straights who feel they want to make a point.

It would also give gay men a chance to socialize with an ethnic group that is not as accessible in general. After all, this is NYC, not the deep south or Mecca.

And I thought that Muslims in general, in the United States, were not that strict observers of sharia law. Or am I missing something.
