Gay bars. Hideout of homosexuals. Secret paradise for the third sex. Playground for the wild at heart. Sanctuary for the brokenhearted. Gay bars have been the subject of many in the movies, television, literature and other media and art forms. Many have succeeded in presenting it to an audience but most of the time, they are almost always romanticized depictions of a world few understand. Of people known as Stardancers.
