'Best Gay Bar' Bans Bachelorette Parties

The “Best Gay Bar in the World” according to Time Magazine, has decided to ban bachelorette parties. Its owner and founder David Cooley, who is gay, was in pain from seeing young women celebrating their upcoming marriages. Cooley, who owns The Abbey in West Hollywood, a bar often frequented by Elizabeth Taylor, said seeing the bachelorettes was “kind of a slap in my face that I couldn’t have that same experience … so I thought that I would put a ban on bachelorette parties until every person will have the right to have a marriage and be able to marry their loved one.”
