I also posted this on Reddit but figured I would post here too since I've been lurking for a while.

Went out for the first time ever Saturday night with my girlfriend! We went to a local gay club that was throwing a Halloween party. I'm straight but it was the perfect environment as everyone was super accepting and I honestly blended right in.

If anyone is trying to build up courage I recommend taking this approach. There were so many other guys out in drag it was crazy and it really helped me relax. I was extremely nervous at first but as the night went on I was having a blast.

The last pic was at the club but before it got really busy. After an hour or so it was packed.
