Daniel Craig says he goes to gay bars to avoid fights at straight venues


How can this be reported only decades after it started?

Bond star says he dislikes the aggression of hetero spaces, and gay bars were a good place to meet women

“I’ve been going to gay bars for as long as I can remember,” Craig said on the podcast Lunch with Bruce. “One of the reasons: because I don’t get into fights in gay bars that often.”

The 53-year-old said he started going to gay bars when he was young because he wanted to avoid ending up “being in a punch-up” during a night out, which he said happened “quite a lot” in straight venues.

Craig, who has been married to Rachel Weisz for a decade, also said that when he was single it was a good way to meet women.

“[Gay bars] would just be a good place to go,” he said. “Everybody was chill, everybody. You didn’t really have to sort of state your sexuality. It was OK. And it was a very safe place to be. And I could meet girls there, cos there are a lot of girls there for exactly the same reason I was there. It was kind of an ulterior motive.”

Hmm... I've never been to a gay bar, but if you see a man at a gay bar wouldn't the actual gay men assume he's gay and hit on him?
