History of gay bars in denver book police
Later an employee acknowledged that it had actually happened by trying to explain why he had indeed done precisely what I said he had done. At first, the co-owner denied he had done what he did. It was an obvious attempt to put me down. I did not see anyone else from the crowd simulate fellatio as perverse and overtly as a form of acceptable socializing and do not find it reasonable even if it was supposed to be a joke.
At one point a female employee had come out to make excuses for the event saying the man was actually just joking around with the band as friends do. I tried to come back in several times to look for my bag and my friend, but was aggressively told to leave. He became immediately enraged, belligerent, defensive and had me thrown out of thrown out of the bar before I was able to gather my belongings, or speak to my friend whom I had driven there. I was not aware this man was a co-owner and that he felt entitled to behave that way. I finally got frustrated and resorted to flipping him off. I ignored the behavior at first, but then was later stared down by this person. I was not prepared to be on the receiving end of an extremely crude gesture that was intentionally directed at me. I have never had an incident at any bar at all, but last night I was kicked out for the first time in my life after having the nerve to stick up for myself while being sexually harassed by man who identified himself as the co-owner of Li'l Devils. I have been going to this establishment through many owner and name changes since 1996.
