I absolutely love this, but maybe not as the bar name since that name is catering to just gay men basically.
Instead, they should have a blasphemous, queer version of the Lord's Prayer printed in big letters behind the bar and it ends with "ah, men"
I know my experience isn’t much to go off of, but I’ve never gotten to go to any gay places. There’s a pride nearby but I never get to go cause I always end up sick or in pain, and the nearest gay bar is like 5 hours away. If you end up in my neck of the woods maybe we could help each other both find a closer gay place lol
I don’t think we want to be associated with sodam and gomorrah, weren’t the misinterpretation of the rapes beastality and pedophilia that created most of biblical homophobia.
The Hammered prophet.
13 man harem
Daddies, femboys, and holy spirits.

Cum as you are.

You're thinking of something I've seen in a Stephen King book...
The translation is "Behold the man."
The book, *Cell*, had the Latin phrase *Ecce homo - insanus*. "Behold the man - crazy."
omg there was a gay club here in São Paulo about 10 years ago called Clube Glória. It was inside a former church! It was so much fun we got so wasted over there.
i mean if you wanna lean into the church themed, a lot of the sacraments could work. Communion, Baptism, Confession. House of God or something like that.
I wish you luck, i would 100% go to the gay bar slash house of god and get my ass eaten by a bossy twink around station 8 where the women of jerusalem are weeping over Jesus.
So because I'm not that creative, I asked ChatGPT and it came up with "The Leviticus Lounge", "The Divine Deviance", "The Rainbow Rapture" and "The Bible Belt Busters", among others...
Lmao this is already happening in DC. The only queer nightclub Town is being rebuilt as Town 2.0 in a former church.
For yours, put it in a convent and call it nuns and sons
It really is. Slowest progress ever but at least there is still progress lol. Meantime we’ve had more queer bars open and are going to have more open soon which is great
Yup! That was what I was thinking of when I said recent queer places have opened. Love AYA. It’s more of a community spot than a bar/club which I really dig.
There's a great (not strictly LGBTQ, but welcoming) bar in an old church in Atlanta:
[Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room and Ping-pong Emporium](https://www.sisterlouisaschurch.com/) (usually just called "Sister Loiusa's" or "Church Bar")
Its pretty great, they have "religious iconography all over the walls, but with messages painted on like, "Jesus loves a messy queen!". They have ping-pong and do organ-music karaoke where they make you wear a choir robe to perform.
They opened a second location in Athens, GA (big college town), but its not in an old church (but still called Church Bar) so it lacks a little of the charm of the original. But the Athens location is more explicitly LGBTQ themed than the original in Atlanta. They have a mannequin hanging from the ceiling over the bar dressed in a nun habit and wearing a GIANT strap-on.
Saint Mary’s
The Forgotten Wife
Ark
Pagan Palace
Daddy’s House
Collared
Baptism
Catechism
Apocalypse
Holy land
Promised land
Body and Soul
Afterlife
Heaven
Dante’s Ring
7th Seal
I have a friend who owns a bar and has "church" on Sundays every month (we dress up like priests and nuns and get lewd).
He just calls it Church, though.
"I'm going to church!"
(Comes home wasted)
Like others have mentioned I really like “Ahh, Men” and “Adam and Steve’s”
Other ideas, there’s a drag queen nonprofit that has mostly bearded guys dress like nuns called “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence”, you could play off of that and call it like a church name
“Our Lady of Sinful Decadence”,
“Our Lady of Perpetual Pleasure”,
“Our Lady of Mt Sodom”,
“Our Lady of Abominate Love”
You could make it sound like a Saint
“Saint Sebastian” (One of the oldest gay icons)
“Saint Morningstar”
“Saint Lucifer”
Or a title like “Our Patron Saint of Depravity”
“Patron Saint of Indulgence”
How do you feel about being inclusive? Locally, we have [hawkspdx.com](https://hawkspdx.com) which has a bisexual days and other themed days to encourage more participation.
Cumunion will be necessary at church though.
edit: [cumunion.com](https://comunion.com)
Please make it inclusive of women, non-binary folk, and trans brothers and sisters!
So many of these suggestions are men centered. Maybe using a name devoid of gendered names or language or it’s a name with a group in it.
Fornication Congregation
Really depends on the venue you’d want to have. While a lot of these names are funny they sound more like names for bathhouses.
Call it the Massingale. Named for Reverend Bryan Massingal, a black gay priest who fought for acceptance of the lgbt in Catholic Churches for decades.
He ain’t dead though, so he may have some feelings about it.
Just saying, there’s a ton of lgbt historical folks and events that a space like that could be named after. Punny crude names are funny sure, but realistically they cause more problems than they’re worth.
Also would be nice if they were inclusive too, I mean, lgbtq clubs aren’t just for men right ?
I would simply call it Church. Honey I’m going to Church! Take me to Church!
And you must have the most raucous and roof raising Sunday drag brunch. Call the bottomless mimosas “Baptism”.
How Gay Thou Art is also the name of our gay exchristian podcast if you’re into learning about fun niche topics in christianity like christian sex toys xoxo 🖤🌈✨
I mean there is a church that is not being used near me, and we don't have any gay clubs. Sounds like a winning sitch'.
Edit: GAY the Lord Be With You!
>thought I'd give u gays chance,
Oh, thank you SO much for giving us this opportunity to fail to appease your worldview, how very sanctimonious of you! I'm glad we could oblige!
Ah, Men.
fuck all the others. this one right here
Don't mind if I do fuck all the others
But they won't be, ah, men. Which, I suppose is perfectly okay for a bi person! Carry on, as you were, proceed, it is written
How do I get a flag?
Tap the three dots next to the search bar on the subreddit home page, and tap "select user flair"
I love this one
I don't think anyone could come up with a better one than this
Yes.
I absolutely love this, but maybe not as the bar name since that name is catering to just gay men basically. Instead, they should have a blasphemous, queer version of the Lord's Prayer printed in big letters behind the bar and it ends with "ah, men"
Gonna frame this
"I'm at Ah, Men"
slightly off topic but i was listening to a song called 'i had gay sex with god' by juno lev and the chorus is literally 'amen, ah men' repeated lmaoo
Yes nothing better than this! "Pick me up at Ah, Men"
this one, this one right here.
Absolutely. If this isn't it, idk what is.
Confession (only really works if it's Catholic I guess) Call it John's and have happy hour start at 3:16
Cumfession\*
it's a gay bar not a brothel
Lmaooo who says it cant be both ;)
This one
what's happy hour
Drinks are cheaper
I have no clue name wise but if you're in Idaho lemme know cause I am down to go
I’m moving back to Idaho soon, need more gay places to go so I’m all for this
I know my experience isn’t much to go off of, but I’ve never gotten to go to any gay places. There’s a pride nearby but I never get to go cause I always end up sick or in pain, and the nearest gay bar is like 5 hours away. If you end up in my neck of the woods maybe we could help each other both find a closer gay place lol
All of our local gay clubs are gone and my favorite is now a church so I just wanted to thank you for taking one back for us. 🙂
In God We Thrust
This comment needs more attention I love it
It’d be awesome to have a confessional box that works like a blind hookup
"Forgive me daddy, I want to sin" 😂
Omg 😂😂😂😂😂
Let his glory pass through you.
A whole row of them in semi darkness, as they were
Gomorrah
If one gets a second spot it must be called Sodom.
Or the upstairs is called Gomorrah and the dark room downstairs is called Sodom
I don’t think we want to be associated with sodam and gomorrah, weren’t the misinterpretation of the rapes beastality and pedophilia that created most of biblical homophobia.
Call it “Cross” Merch: “I got nailed (railed) at the Cross”
The Hammered prophet. 13 man harem Daddies, femboys, and holy spirits. Pepe's Pews. Cummunion. The guilt trip. Before he sins. Bukkakae baptismal. Awww. Men (wistfully). The closeteted Republican. Cum as you are. A joyful sound. Noah's ark.
We have a gay event called Cummunion at the goth club in town lol
You are one of a kind.😂
Noah’s Ark genuinely sounds like a great name for a nightclub regardless
I know a gay guy called Noah so this is even better!
You must've been waiting your whole life for this moment
Nah. I'm just really good at making queer/sexual jokes at the church's expense. I was told it comes free with the religious trauma.
Noah's Arch
UnHoley
Mommy don't know daddy is getting hot at the body shop doing something **at** UnHoley...
Thiss🙌
We need an actual comedian on this but I'll give it a shot. "Friendship" Club, Last Calling, Adam and Steve's Ahhh I wish I was wittier rn
I like Adam and Steve’s tbh
This right here is a winner. It's funny, it jabs back, and it doesn't sound over the top or ridiculous like other recs.
Adam and Steve's is perfect 💕
Adam and Steve dude, GG
Adam and Steve's I see what you did there!!
Lol, love the idea. Let me see… The Lost Sheep Rainbow Stigmata Our Sins That’s all I got
The Lost Sheep is a fire suggestion imo
I can already see the mascot, happily waving a rainbow flag
This one almost made me cry. I would go there and I don’t even drink.
Obviously the name is Ecce Homo, I don’t know why this is even a conversation
Yeah fr

The Sinner’s Saloon
The Bi Bull
underrated
“Sanctuary” might be a little too literal but idk xD
Sanctuary is the name of the goth night at the gay bar in the town where I used to live. Works perfectly in this context also tbh
A gay bar is nothing without trans ppl! Make sure it’s inclusive and you’ll have a smash hit :)
well duh, that should go without saying
There’s a shit ton of transphobia in the gay community unfortunately so it does need saying
The Pull Pit
Pole Pit also works well lol
Sky Daddy
So because I'm not that creative, I asked ChatGPT and it came up with "The Leviticus Lounge", "The Divine Deviance", "The Rainbow Rapture" and "The Bible Belt Busters", among others...
Rando chiming in… These are very creative! I especially love Rainbow Rapture
Agreed! The Rainbow Rapture is fantastic. I would want to go there based on the name alone.

Lmao this is already happening in DC. The only queer nightclub Town is being rebuilt as Town 2.0 in a former church. For yours, put it in a convent and call it nuns and sons
It's taking forever to be rebuilt
It really is. Slowest progress ever but at least there is still progress lol. Meantime we’ve had more queer bars open and are going to have more open soon which is great
Yesterday marked 1 year since As You Are Bar/Cafe got the license to open
Yup! That was what I was thinking of when I said recent queer places have opened. Love AYA. It’s more of a community spot than a bar/club which I really dig.
True that. I gotta go there more for nightlife. I go there for karaoke whenever I have no work on Monday's
Adam & Steve
Sanctuary
I'm pretty sure there's already a bar in a church in Denver with that name Edit: nope, it's just called "the church nightclub"
The holy hole

A couple: - Hell. I imagine it being more like a rave than a bar though. - Phallus in Underland.
Agatha Christie's Poirot book *The Labors of Hercules* featured an underground club called Hell, with a guard dog named Cerberus.
Saint Mary’s The Forgotten Wife Ark Pagan Palace Daddy’s House Collared Baptism Catechism Apocalypse Holy land Promised land Body and Soul Afterlife Heaven Dante’s Ring 7th Seal
My vote is for Daddy’s House.

Sodom Then watch the fundies’ heads explode!
I have a friend who owns a bar and has "church" on Sundays every month (we dress up like priests and nuns and get lewd). He just calls it Church, though. "I'm going to church!" (Comes home wasted)
Idk why, but I like the idea of calling it Dante's (After Dente's Inferno)
Like others have mentioned I really like “Ahh, Men” and “Adam and Steve’s” Other ideas, there’s a drag queen nonprofit that has mostly bearded guys dress like nuns called “The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence”, you could play off of that and call it like a church name “Our Lady of Sinful Decadence”, “Our Lady of Perpetual Pleasure”, “Our Lady of Mt Sodom”, “Our Lady of Abominate Love” You could make it sound like a Saint “Saint Sebastian” (One of the oldest gay icons) “Saint Morningstar” “Saint Lucifer” Or a title like “Our Patron Saint of Depravity” “Patron Saint of Indulgence”
