Since a Tiki Bar can cater to a Gay or Cross Dressing crowd, sure why not That would bring an interesting dynamic to a Tiki Bar, but it sure was not tolerated in the 40s & 50s so much. Tolerance is a better thing to have these days, as much as I like the vintage ways of Tiki overall. Does anyone know of a Gay Tiki Bar? Donna?
