Two days a week I work in the lovely Castro. Now I know that this is the gay mecca and all, but Jesus Christ, just because someone is serving you a drink in a bar does not maake them your potential sex slave.
If I were to come on to a woman as obnoxiously as some of these men do to myself and other staff members I would probably get my ass kicked. Of course if I were to kick some dude's ass in the Castro it becomes hate crime territory.
This isn't a rant about homophobia, or trying to impose my social norms on others. It is simply about politeness. When you are told that someone you are digging on is not interested, you should just suck it up and walk away. The things you should not do are as follows:
1. Ask "How do you know you wouldn't like it?".
2. Try to reach over the bar and solicit a kiss by force.
3. Act pissy and throw a half full Mojito on the ground.
4. Keep coming in night after night repeating the same behavior.
My experience in the Castro is largely positive. It beats the hip hop crowd for sure, but sometimes the shit can wear on a person. And if I was to go out with some guy, it would not be some bitter old queen that drives a BMW.
