Although we were eventually granted access to the second venue after explaining our sexuality, the exclusion did not end there. Many of these spaces actively promote and pride themselves on being diverse, inclusive and friendly. Importantly, research has shown that these spaces are also fundamental in helping to shape and establish sexual identities. This allows people in the community to develop a sense of belonging, recognition and affirmation.

My research highlights that other harmful behaviours such as unwanted sexual attention, harassment and exclusion are not only prolific in the general night time economy, but also on the gay scene. A key example of this is people facing judgement from others within the community when they do not present themselves in a way that adheres to LGB stereotypes.

This highlights a toxic hyper-focus on physical appearances. The aesthetic hierarchy is maintained among the gay scene through informal policing from the community and more formally, through bouncers or bar staff who become gatekeepers of oppressive and rigid structures. I only really get in if I am with someone who looks gay or is a regular at the club.

My research has shown this to be a common experience. As a year-old lesbian participant explained:. This means, from the outside, and to many inside it too, the community appears to be a cohesive and supportive environment that is united through shared oppression. However, the exclusion of particular sexual and aesthetic identities within the gay scene means many relationships have become fractured and fraught.

A year-old bisexual male participant explained to me:. Their story also highlights that this is not just an issue of lesbian invisibility, as those who present themselves as more feminine are not the only ones who face exclusion. Being excluded from the gay scene as an LGB person based on who you are presumed to have sex with, or how you dress, creates rigidity within a community that prides itself on freedom, authenticity and individuality.
