| The
Gay Circus (can someone say tautology? Is sugar sweet?
Is Katie Holmes a beard?) may have come to town, but I'm
heading out. It's no fun being gay in this city. |
|
Take
the gay EuroGames. Tell me, what exactly is the entertainment
value here, with neither handbag-throwing, baby-oil
wrestling, or single-man three-legged racing on the
programme. If I wanted to see real athletic action,
I'd tune into male gymnastics, platform diving or perhaps
endure 90 minutes of boredom to watch the footballers
swap shirts.
No, I'll be heading out to Sant Cebrià de Vallalta
by Sant Pol where, far from being the only gays in the
village, Oscar and Jordi (who used to have his hands
in the dough at La Veronica), are opening up a Cuban
chiringuito-themed Deep Chill & Club. Decorated
by recdi8,
it's a new place to get, ahem, friendly with the neighbours.
|
|
It's
high time too for a gay hangout there, as Sant
Pol has long ago replaced Sitges as favoured out-of-town
destination for sun-worshippers in search of clear
water and prime beef. Now, there's a real
gay circus for you.
