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

(CANVAS STAFF REPORTS) - Gregg Gutfeld, host of the FOX News show &quot;Red<br />
Eye,&quot; announced on his show Monday that he would be opening up a gay bar<br />
for Islamic men right next door to the highly controversial mosque being<br />
built near <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1281624333_0">Ground Zero</span>.<br />
<br />
<br />
Gutfeld also posted his plans on his blog, The Daily Gut , &quot;I'm announcing<br />
tonight, that I am planning to build and open the first gay bar that caters<br />
not only to the west, but also Islamic gay men. To best express my sincere<br />
desire for dialogue, the bar will be situated next to the mosque Park51, in<br />
an available commercial space. This is not a joke. I've already spoken to a<br />
number of investors, who have pledged their support in this bipartisan bid<br />
for understanding and tolerance.&quot;<br />
<br />
<br />
Gutfeld said his reasoning for opening the gay bar is twofold: first, to<br />
break down barriers of homosexual phobia, as the Muslim faith does not<br />
accept the homosexual lifestyle. And second, to make a point that if<br />
Muslim's are truly building the mosque for outreach, then they can<br />
understand why he is opening up his gay bar to reach out to <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1281624333_1">Muslim gay men</span>.<br />
<br />
<br />
He will even have a whole floor that will serve non-alcoholic drinks<br />
because the faith prohibits drinking as well. And the bar will be open day<br />
and night, so those Muslim men who wish to remain inconspicuous can.<br />
<br />
<br />
Reactions to Gutfeld's idea has been varied<br />
<br />
<br />
The conservative blog <a href="http://hotair.com/" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1281624333_2">hotair.com</span></a> sees the mosque and the gay bar<br />
representing the same thing: tolerance.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://mediaite.com/" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1281624333_3">Mediaite.com</span></a> reported that the night Gutfeld announced his plans, one of<br />
his guests, <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1281624333_4">John Gibson</span>, expressed concern that there could be a real<br />
massacre of anyone going into the bar.<br />
<br />
<br />
Gutfeld is also looking for names for the bar which can be submitted on his<br />
blog and says he &quot;will have the plan together very soon!&quot;
