The Abbey bans bachelorette parties

The Abbey announced Friday that it is banning the bachelorette parties that have become increasingly popular there in recent years.

Founder David Cooley said the policy move is being made in consideration of the establishment’s customer base because same-sex marriage is not legal in California.

‘Every Friday and Saturday night, we’re flooded with requests from straight girls in penis hats who want to ogle our go-gos, dance with the gays and celebrate their pending nuptials,’ Cooley said in a press release. ‘They are completely unaware that the people around them are legally prohibited from getting married.’

‘Over the past 22 years, The Abbey has been a place that accepts everyone, gay, straight, lesbian, transgender, bisexual and everything in between,’ Cooley added. ‘We love our straight girlfriends and they are welcome here, just not for bachelorette parties.’

The Abbey is encouraging other gay-owned and operated establishments to institute their own bans as a sign of solidarity until marriage is legal everywhere for everyone.

One Remark

  1. Ah well I be just an ol fat guy with memories :-) I have posted the stuff below to a number of hollywood blogsites, figured it might survive the blog ‘monitors’ a bit longer, at most blogsites it gets deleted. It is just evaluation of the ‘pansies of hollywood’ not the folks this blog implies it’s audience is. :-) read as long as it stays in this blog,

    As you can see, from what is seen here is lacking in recent stars within the last 50 years that have spent any time serving our country. Now I admit from the get go, that I am a vet of the Vietnam era, that is not a viet vet, just someone who served, such as Elvis Presley who served in the same country I did, Germany.

    I should have some regard for the successful actors of the last 50 years, and I do in fact respect the acting of some actors 60 years of age or less. However Hollywood integrity is in question after viewing the lack of veterans in the top tier of actors, directors, found in Hollywood.

    The only female actress that has served in the military was Nancy Kulp 1921-1991,

    There are a couple more well known female actresses from the WWII generation, however they were not American citizens.

    Now I will also admit that there are very few movies in the last 30 years that I have had any enjoyment. most are not very entertaining, or extract emotions from the viewer. And although there are a few memorable productions by Tom Hanks such as ‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘Band of Brothers”, and ‘Pacific’ all of which give respect to the ‘Greatest Generation’, but he also did not serve.

    Below I have a number of additional links in an attempt to find any actors, actresses, directors, producers from my generation or later That have served in the U.S. Military. As you will find, there are no Prominent entertainers, producers, or directors in the film Industry that care enough about their citizenship to consider serving their country in any significant manner.

    They pay taxes as does every American citizen, and I suspect they grouch and complain the same as we all do.

    Now, the generations from 1935 to the present, give lip service to military service, though no actual service to our country that I can find. These are the more influential entertainers of our living generations. Who are they encouraging to go in to military service, not themselves obviously.

    I would forward this concept, Entertainment is more important than Military service. The action of acting is more important than the action of giving one’s life for one’s country. The actions of protecting one’s copyright’s to cultural comment is more important than one’s obligation to protect one’s country.

    Moreover I propose based on the present living generation of Hollywood employers, and employees, and ‘Stars’, living ones life to profit to protect one’s cultural ‘donation’ is of more importance than the act if giving one’s life to protect one’s country.

    When I consider the many military movies ‘honoring’ the Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other previous action such as ‘Black-hawk Downs’ all I see is cowardly greed mongers of the Hollywood type, encouraging anyone except themselves, (who are spending their valuable lives in front of mirrors and cameras), to sacrifice their youth and lives for the betterment of the copyright values of all living actor,
    actresses, directors, and producers.

    Yes I am bitter, when I hear of one Hollywood litigator implying that Internet piracy results in 74 trillion dollars in lost revenue to Hollywood, when the complete estimate value of all world assets total just 60 trillion dollars. That statement along with the complete lack of concern for one’s own country absolutely dissolves in my mind any respect for the concept that Hollywood deserves anymore
    than the cost of doing business. This industry deserves no profit. They earn no respect from me for sure. They deserve no respect from the mothers, fathers, wives, sons and daughters of every veteran in this country, absolutely not.

    This is a good starting place to find those actors who did in fact serve the country

    This is the only link I could find that had at least one hollywood director with military time again from back to the 1930′s to 1950′s. Of course there was Clint Eastwood, worked in the aircraft industry and was drafted during the Korean conflict.

    The next link is a political article praising Clint Eastwood as one of those Patriotic Hollywood actors. Clint Eastwood also did his military service over 50 years ago.
