A few miles north and west of me is a Denny's that during the day is like any
other...at night, however, it has a reputation as the "gay Denny's"...this seems
to have started in the early 1980s when the "alternative clubs" in the
neighborhood were required to close at 1am or whenever last call was defined by
statute...the people in those clubs looked around for some place that was still
open in the wee hours of the morning, and noticed the 24-hour chain franchise
diner at the corner of 7th Street and Camelback...since there weren't a lot of
other customers at that hour, their sheer numbers shifted the demographics of
the place....

For years the most popular item on the menu was eggs over real easy.
