The Friday night cabaret at L'Escargot Restaurant on Front Street in Philipsburg features various lip-synching singers. Some are straight and some are female impersonators. That really isn't Cher on the left and Christine Aguilera never had a tan like that on the right. It's a great show and other than the skimpy costumes, not all that "adult," especially when you consider that they are guys. The audience, on the several times that I have been there, was overwhelmingly straight (I think).
Eros Club on Rue Victor Maurasse behind Arawak on the Marigot Waterfront claims to be a gay bar and club. Nanou organizes Chippendale parties, Miss Drag Queen Shows, go-go boys, male lingerie fashion shows, etc. I'm guessing the patrons are mostly gay.
Just a note on gay acceptance. The tourists who come to SXM are rather worldly. For the most part they accept gays, blacks, drinking, gambling, strip clubs, topless beaches, nude beaches, sex shops, even pleasure palaces. Even the locals are generally laid back, but there was an incident several years ago that received a lot of attention. The perps were caught and prosecuted.
