This thread title is unintentionally hilarious.
Also everyone's assessment of whether or not it has an aspect of lesbianism in it, is using a very modern, eurocentric definition of homosexuality, that is a byproduct of christianity.
I would argue that homosexuality in Eorzea would be much more likely to take the appearance of cultures historically that have had no issues with homosexuality, like greece, persia, japan, etc. In those places it was totally normal for many adult males to prefer men sexually, but understand that they had to have sex with women in order to have children.
In Sparta there is a famous description of how spartan women would dress as warriors for their first night of marriage, since that was what the men found comforting sexually.
What I'm getting at, is I do feel like the Missing Member is still a Lesbian bar, focused around female sexuality and sisterhood (and eating muff), the fact that they also go fuck dudes, or otherwise boss them around has no impact on that. It lines up with the way sexuality is presented in the game, and it also makes sense based on the form homosexuality took historically in societies where it was not considered shameful.
Yes I cannot prove that naughty things go on between the patrons, but I think it is more likely than not.
