Under the Gaydar The Bench and Bar in Oakland is overflowing with men who are mistaken for coming to see female strippers but are only interested in going home with one another. Some of these men, though not all, refer to themselves as homothugs. In their baggy pants and New Era caps, they hardly fit the image of the stereotypical gay man. These men know how and where to find each other, though their hangouts are well hidden. They present themselves in complete visual contrast to the lives they lead and are forcing people to think outside the box of what it looks like to be gay.
