    Just don’t confuse it with the actual Russian Kremlin when making travel plans. Gay clubbing has a different meaning there.

    Bar: Hello logo person, I’d like one of your finest logos please

    Logoman: Why sir, you have arrived at precisely the correct place for such a request! What are your needs?

    Bar: We’re a gay bar, we need something that says “gay”

    Logoman: Well, how about a clenched fist rocketing toward a puckered pink star?

    Bar: Sold!

    I’ve been here! Clubbing isn’t really my thing but it was a fun night. Haven’t been since covid happened, and it’s supposedly more of a tourist trap for straight people these days. I remember some Eurovision act got a lot of shit for “performing at the Kremlin” but it was actually this one in Belfast.

    My favourite tidbit of queer history in Northern Ireland happened here after our former first minister’s wife, Iris Robinson, was caught having an extra marital affair with someone 40 years her junior, a 19 year old that she bribed to try and hush it all up. She was disgustingly homophobic to the point that there’s a whole section of her Wikipedia dedicated to her homophobic remarks. After the story broke of her affair, the DJ in the Kremlin stuck on the song Mrs Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel.

    In the movie Wayne’s World they go to a music venue call Comrades (possibly with a K?) complete with a statue and tractor decorations.
