I had a problem with the thread before I opened it… **Perfect Name For a Gay Bar.**

So, why a specifically Gay Bar? The OP had better have a really shall-we-say flamboyyyyant name in mind…

Nope.

What the hell? With a Star Trek name, maybe a Nerd Bar… but I read the whole thread and never figured out why the OP was fixated on a gay clientele?  
(fyi, straight dude here… who might just be ignorant of the fact that gay/closeted/homophobic guys walk around thinking that a cool business name would of course be … a gay bar)
