Former gay bar in Texas now turns away LGBT patrons
The Red Room bar in Austin used to cater to an LGBT clientele — until new owners took over last week and started turning away gay customers.
The Red Room changed ownership last week, and since then, the new owners have advised the staff that the bar will no longer be deemed a gay bar, according to former Red Room bartender Josh Moon. Gay patrons were then asked to leave on Friday night, the first night of operation under new ownership, KVUE News reports.
He said he also heard the man tending to the door tell patrons, “This is not a gay bar anymore, you’re not welcome. You can’t come in."
The owner says the patrons were turned away because of a private event that night, but the bar’s Facebook page only listed the event as its grand opening. Welp, this is totally uncalled for.

LEMME TELL YOU BITCHES ABOUT MY GIRL CARMILLA
FOLKS FORGET ABOUT CARMILLA AND HER WONDERFUL LOVE STORY JUST BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T GET AS MUCH PUBLICITY AS OL’ DRAC BUT SHE’S AWESOME
SHE DOESN’T BURN IN SUNLIGHT BUT DOES WEAKEN CONSIDERABLY TO THE POINT OF FAINTING AND NEVER WAKES UP BEFORE NOON (MY SPIRIT MONSTER IS CARMILLA YO) AND WHEN SHE FEEDS FROM LAURA IT’S ALWAYS FROM HER LEFT BREAST. THAT’S STRAIGHT UP VICTORIAN EROTICA YO. SHE CAN TRANSFORM INTO A CAT AND INTO FOG, SIMILAR TO DRAC, AND HAS THIS LONG, BEAUTIFUL DARK HAIR.
YOU CAN READ THE WHOLE THING ONLINE IT’S OUT OF COPYRIGHT AND STUFF BUT HOLY SHIT A STORY ABOUT WOMEN IN THE 1800S THAT PASSES THE BECHDEL TEST WHAT????
GO. READ IT. IT’LL TAKE YOU BARELY AN HOUR AT MOST.

alright then
Sounds interesting…might have to look into that.
BUT
It is now my sworn duty to direct everyone Polidori-wards. He wrote The Vampyre 78 years before Dracula (53 years before Carmilla). He’s credited with being the founder of the ‘erotic vampire’ genre. That’s right. Twilight…his fault. (But so is Interview With the Vampire).
Also, his memoirs about traveling around with Byron (I ship them pretty bad, I’m afraid) are hilarious. I laughed out loud a whole bunch. Seriously, worth reading.

Many classic horror icons and other disturbing creatures share common characteristics. Pale skin, dark, sunken eyes, elongated faces, sharp teeth, and the like. These images inspire horror and revulsion in many, and with good reason. The characteristics shared by these faces are imprinted in the human mind.
Many things frighten humans instinctively. The fear is natural, and does not need to be reinforced in order to terrify. The fears are species-wide, stemming from dark times in the past when lightning could mean the burning of your tree home, predators could be hiding in the dark, heights could make poor footing lethal, and a spider or snake bite could mean certain death.
The question you have to ask yourself is this:
What happened, deep in the hidden eras before history began, that could effect the entire human race so evenly as to give the entire species a deep, instinctual, and lasting fear of pale beings with dark, sunken eyes, razor sharp teeth, and elongated faces?
Oh my god…I’m actually genuinely creeped out right now.

Sleeping is nice because youre not actually dead and youre not awake so its a win-win situation
It’s like being dead without the commitment.
an open relationship with death
death with benefits

I came home from work today all excited for my shephard’s pie that was sitting in the fridge waiting for me to eat it alive. Except my family must have ate it cause it’s now magically gone. And I’ve been angrily texting my dad since I found out. It was in that moment that I realized that I was the female Dean Winchester.
I just wanted my fucking pie though…
