I would say that ratio is similar to the ratio of married and single at a straight church. There are single men and women at the church, but many people are coupled. For a gay or lesbian who has struggled for years in a church that is not welcoming of them, I say find another church. The messages are timely, appropriate, and affirming. The music is prerecorded, which can be a bit of a turnoff for a traditionalist like me. The service is a protestant style with gospel oriented music and weekly communion. My experience with straight churches is that either they let you go on your own altogether, or they are smothering. They aren’t pushy, though, which is nice. One thing that you notice when you walk in is that people are welcoming.

It has services at 9 and 11:30 am on Sundays, which is a recent change from a 10:30 only service. The church, Eternal Joy Metropolitan Community Church, is located in east Dayton, between Smithville and Woodman (If you’re local, you know where that is- if you’re not, you can google map it). So, opportunities to meet gay men and women are possible on Sunday morning. BTW, if you know of one, doesn’t matter where, let me know where it is and I’ll post it here. I have yet to find a gay bar open on Sunday mornings. The spirit can touch you and open yourself emotionally in ways you hadn’t experienced in a while.Ĥ. Church activities often involve decent tasting food.ģ. You can meet single men (and women) at church, who are confirmed gay.Ģ. But the experience of church has opportunities:ġ. I question the usefulness of it myself from time to time. If anyone knows of more things to do in Springfield, let me know and I will check it out. But to me it was creepy and I only stayed twenty minutes. The beer is really cold, though, so it has some redeeming qualities. It’s not for young people (you define young) who are not interested in the older set. Because the people there are older, you’re not going to be too swarmed on if you’re there with someone.ĭo not go alone unless you are really bold and like them old. It would be an ok place to take a gay man (there was one very butch lesbian couple there) if you wanted to talk a little. It has a dance floor, but there was no live music that night. Why Not has a pool table, and a juke box. When I went there on a Saturday night, it had maybe a dozen people. Springfield also has the Why Not III bar.

If you are stuck in Springfield, or want a change of pace, Chances is the best place overall to go. In my last post I wrote about Chances Bar in Springfield, Ohio.
