I've only been down the village once but that was midweek and I never noticed any trouble at all. There are far more qualified people than me on here to pass judgement but I was once told that at weekends the village is 80% straight and 20% gay whilst during the week it is 80% gay and 20% straight. Maybe the straight people dominating the area at weekends is the causing a bit of resentment?

MANCHESTER the village
Sex God
I go into the village with gay pals and some of my tranny friends too.
Some nights are regarded as "tourist" nights where people go to the village for a look around and a night out but are not part of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi and transexual)community at all.
Some would argue that in Manchester there are numerous venues for "straight" people to go and party so why go to the gay village? I personally think as long as you are LGBT friendly most bars will welcome you. I suppose it all depends on where you went and how you acted as to what kind of reception you recieved, as with any bar or club.
Quite a few of us went to the Village for my birthday last month and had a whale of time there. Maybe you were just unlucky.
You are most welcome to PM me with any specific questions.

well having been hanging round the village for long time and have always find the place to be 'st8' friendly and accepting of all
sorry u have come across such behaviour

Ok - offical Lesbian talking here. Yes - there is a general feeling that Str8's are "taking over" the village. Gays and Lesbians feel that they (we) don't have that many places to be ourselves, whereas str8's do. Feeling that the village should be left alone to be gay.
Not all gays and Lesbians feel this way - but there is a proportion who do.
Sorry - not eloquently put - but very tired - and probably should've waited to answer that properly!
BTW - as a Lesbian - I have felt sidelined on the few occasions I have been to Manchester - 'cos the village is also very male orientated with Vanilla being about the only Lesbian place there. And the best night I had was on the outskirts in a very mixed str8/gay pub!

Yes rainbows,
I have felt this too. Vanilla is one of the only female orientated places in the village as the place is generaly more geared towards the gay men. There have been other venues open, but lack of customers have forced them to close very quickly.
I have often thought of opening a female orientated place in the Village as it is something that it lacks.

I have a few more kinks......... if you care to find out one day :rascal:
This was to settle who won one of the quizzes someone ran a while ago on parts of the body with only three letters in
It sounded a good idea at the time, although I'm more fond of strawberry or lime jelly, especially if it has been made by blue and can satisfy one's yearly intake of vodka in three spoon fulls!

The village community is very cliquey!! If you're not one of their own.. quite a lot will just look down their nose at you.. its a lesbian/gay/tran community.. no room for bisexuals there (unless its bi blokes.. its just us bi women who are scum of the earth)

I've always found the village a very friendly and inviting place. However, I have sensed some hostility when I've visited Vanilla - especially if I'm with Mr Redbird.

Most of my friends are gay and we used to go out in the Village all the time when I was a 'lesbian'.. but since I've become more feminine I got sick of being turned away from clubs for being too straight looking :shock:

There or any Lesbian community in my experience. I cannot understand why a group of people so persecuted can be so persecuting. But it is a sad truth.
I for one will always accept bi sexual women - but then I am one. Closeted though - for the reasons mentioned above!
xxdevil69 - you're not too fem for me :twisted: :twisted:
