> our much-lamented gay bar was called “the back door” due to the front doors t not having been opened in 40 years and you entered but yeah the pun was also noted too

I’d have to be convinced that it wasn’t the other way around. That is, it was called the back door _because_ of the pun, using the back door of the building was their ‘official reason’ for calling it that.  
I mean, if there was a gay bar called “May I push your stool in”, I don’t think anyone would believe it’s because they don’t have chairs, only stools.
