I see the “All are welcome here” at churches and very liberal businesses and “social orgs” was the most generic term I could come up with for churches, clubs, etc.
That’s an interesting point. Makes me curious to see what would happen if I attended one of these churches in the gayest getup imaginable. Put your money where your mouth is. Am I welcome or not?
I was thinking a very large group attending in attire specific to a different religion would also be very interesting.
Side note: I always interpret “All are welcome here” to mean “All are welcome here so long as you abide by and conform to the dogma and characteristics of this in-group” in those cases.
Thanks for clarifying. I don’t come in contact with the church types of social orgs at all.
Those I do come in contact with IRL are usually pretty open.
From experience, I’d say “No bigots allowed” can be tricky: most people are pretty nice and only a little bigoted in some respects. Also, bigotry comes in many shapes. People can be bigoted specifically about the things that made them come together in the first place! The real deciding factor is how they react if this is pointed out to them in a non-bigoted way.
