I looked around for a quick exit, fearing I’d stumbled into a straight bar by mistake. In my experience - admittedly, mostly limited to Boston’s Club Cafe - gay bars played Anderson Cooper on CNN, followed by music videos, if they broadcast anything at all.īut football? In a gay bar? No way. Yet there it was, the Thanksgiving showdown between the New Orleans Saints and the Buffalo Bills, blasting on the screen above the bar at Lafitte in Exile. I hadn’t expected to see a football game televised in a gay bar.
