Pubs reopening June 29th

I went to one in Friedrichshain in Berlin and lads were wearing white and black hoods. The white hood denoted you as the "bottom" and the black hoods were worn by the "tops".

I wasn't wearing any hood, I just wanted a pint

I have a reversible hood.

It actually demonstrates how needy the gay community of Cork are if they think a well known gay bar ceases to become a gay bar because they don't have a flag up denoting the same for a few days.
They weren't stopped going in there. Some politicians in Cork would want to take a good hard look at themselves as well.
When Loafers closed the owner stated that Ireland had moved on and there was no need for a separate gay bars anymore.
A load of drama for no reason.

While obviously a bar owner is free to run their establishment as they seem fit it seems fairly idiotic to alienate your customers, that keeps your pub in business for 51 weeks of the year, to pander to the gender critical trans exclusionary radical female mob for rag week.

It does seem an incredibly stupid business decision to temporarily rebrand the bar and alienate all the regulars for the sake of a week. I’d say they’re going to leave it as ‘Sinners’ but just aren’t announcing it so they don’t get a furious mob of judges and hairdressers (or whoever).

‘Shinners’ might appeal more to some on here.

This is the third or fourth year that they have rebranded it Sinners for Freshers week.

Bold of you to assume that ucc/cit students are terfs as that community likes to label people as sometimes. Idiotic post tbh.

Fair enough. I hadn’t copped onto that. They seem to have repainted it too. Fairly stupid idea overall!

Sure buildings get painted every year? It’s always been that dark green from memory too.
Allegedly they “temporarily” covered/painted over logos and flags on the interior.
Building lies idle most Mondays Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with student nights historically always being Wednesday.
It was wrong to cancel Thursday drag along with notice given and if they did remove or cover any logos and flags.
However as stated in this day and age where pubs are closing left right and centre that a private business owner makes use of their building while it sits idle so be it. If they don’t take the students on nights it’s normally closed is it not risking losing the building entirely?
I imagine if they left Thursday as it was and they didn’t paint or temporarily remove anything be no issues.
