Gregg Gutfeld Says He Plans to Open Gay Bar Next to Mosque

(CANVAS STAFF REPORTS) - Gregg Gutfeld, host of the FOX News show "Red

Eye," announced on his show Monday that he would be opening up a gay bar

for Islamic men right next door to the highly controversial mosque being

built near Ground Zero.





Gutfeld also posted his plans on his blog, The Daily Gut , "I'm announcing

tonight, that I am planning to build and open the first gay bar that caters

not only to the west, but also Islamic gay men. To best express my sincere

desire for dialogue, the bar will be situated next to the mosque Park51, in

an available commercial space. This is not a joke. I've already spoken to a

number of investors, who have pledged their support in this bipartisan bid

for understanding and tolerance."





Gutfeld said his reasoning for opening the gay bar is twofold: first, to

break down barriers of homosexual phobia, as the Muslim faith does not

accept the homosexual lifestyle. And second, to make a point that if

Muslim's are truly building the mosque for outreach, then they can

understand why he is opening up his gay bar to reach out to Muslim gay men.





He will even have a whole floor that will serve non-alcoholic drinks

because the faith prohibits drinking as well. And the bar will be open day

and night, so those Muslim men who wish to remain inconspicuous can.





Reactions to Gutfeld's idea has been varied





The conservative blog hotair.com sees the mosque and the gay bar

representing the same thing: tolerance.





mediaite.com reported that the night Gutfeld announced his plans, one of

his guests, John Gibson, expressed concern that there could be a real

massacre of anyone going into the bar.





Gutfeld is also looking for names for the bar which can be submitted on his

blog and says he "will have the plan together very soon!"
