Never fails to make me laugh. Racist bullies Blanks and Copeland wander into a gay bar, having been sent there by Steve Guttenberg's character. For as terrible as they are, Blanks (the one in yellow), could get it.
The one in yellow has a meat cleaver profile and looks like a pin head.

Ah, the homophobia of the 1980s! We always had to be a joke.

I'll admit it, I laughed. For the 1980s, this is tame.

8 year old me had absolutely idea at all what this was about.

Did people get this because of Cruising? The slightly older movie? Or did everyone really just know about the leather scene?

The leather scene seems to have been a widely employed trope when portraying the gay community back then.

Brant van Hoffman (Blankes) had a great ass and body, especially for back then.

Oh lighten up, R2. It's a comedy. Do you have to be so politically correct all the time?

8 year old me knew I really, really wanted to be in that bar! Even if I couldn't figure out why...

Agree about von Hoffman's ass. I'd like to have run into him at Southern Decadence or the Folsom St. Fair.

I commented earlier asking if the movie Cruising was the source of this trope. But I guess everyone learned about the leather scene in 1964 from that Life magazine article.

The song playing when they first walk in the bar is 'The Boys Come To Town' by Earlene Bentley. A Hi-NRG Classic that was HUGE in Gay Clubs in 1983/1984. It still kicks ass.

As a kid this gave me all kind of funny feelings.
As for being an offensive stereotype, I think Airplane! and Blazing Saddles were a lot worse.
