This article is _so_ spot on!

I hate it when straight folks invade queer safe spaces. They think they're being cool. They might even think it shows them to be our ally, but obliterating our safe spaces is not consistent with being an ally.
And gay guys are sometimes part of the problem. Young gay guys who (until recently) never knew what it was like to be an oppressed minority sometimes invite their "girlfriends" out to the gay bar with them. But then, in the din of the noise you start hearing more girls' voices than male voices - and it's just not the same anymore.
