On the preview, Valerie was stunned that Kristina took her to Lesbian Night at The Floating Rib
Does that mean gay guys aren't allowed?

No, Brad and Lucas first met at the FR. I'm sure there are Gay Nights too.

Okay some other puzzle pieces could be fitting in to this plot.
I'm thinking that Kristina takes Valerie there more than likely to make Parker jealous.
Weeks ago, we saw Oscar waiting for his mother at the Floating Rib. We thought she worked there but what if it was Lesbian Night there the night he went there for her?
Oscar said his mother & him had only been in PC a short time but obviously Parker had been in PC longer than Kristina knew in order to get on at the University.
So what if Parker is Oscar's mother? It'd make perfect sense since Oscar never had a step-father. The only question is, who would be his real father?
Did Parker & Sonny meet? I know Sonny went looking for her last year but did he ever find her?

They have lesbian nights? How intolerant!
They should have a night to celebrate every member of the LGGBDTTTIQQAAPP community on the same day, otherwise, they are just hate mongers!
And no, I didn't make up that acronym, that is what they are saying now in some circles, it stands for 'Lesbian, Gay, Genderqueer, Bisexual, Demisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Twospirit, Intersex, Queer, Questioning, Asexual, Allies, Pansexual, Polyamorous'
I don't even know what half of those words mean, and I'm not sure I want to.

Technically. He walked in on Kristina and Parker kissing on the morning after.

Correct. Sonny tried to finagle his way into a triple hitter until they reminded him that (a) Kristina is his daughter and (b) he's gross.

He did just stand there and watch them but when he pulled out his camera, that was a little too far...

I think that Alla Korot(formerly Stacey Sloan on GH Night Shift) will turn out to be Oscar's mom. It's very possible she'll be at the Floating Rib for Lesbian Night. Maybe she had a ONS with Sonny (turkey baster lol)

All jokes aside, I'm not sure a 'lesbian night', at which neither men nor women who are not lesbians are allowed to attend, is even legal, in fact, I'm almost certain that it's not. A couple months ago, there were some movie theaters that had a 'women only' screening of the Wonder Woman movie, and these events were declared illegal and the theaters apologized, now if you limited attendance not merely to women, but gay women at that, I'm pretty sure it's not legal.

From what I heard about that WW for women only, the theater said that if men identified as women or wanted to dress in drag and sneak in, the theater would gladly take their money. So basically anyone could go. It's the bathroom controversy all over again!

Wait, people still see movies in theaters?

It is still the best way to see a movie, any other way is vastly inferior.

I would say that depends entirely on your personal criteria.

You're a theater buff, right? Which is better, seeing a play on Broadway, ,live on stage, or watching a video of it on YouTube?
It's pretty much the same thing.
In a movie theater, in the dark, on a 50 foot screen, you can become fully immersed in the story, for two hours or however long the movie is, nothing else in the world exists except that film, it is your entire world, it is as if you are actually part of the story, there are no distractions, there is nothing, if there is a scene that takes place on a boat, it is as if you are on that boat, if you are someone who gets sea sick, you may even get sea sick, if there is a scene that takes place high up, like on the top of the Empire Stare Building, they can convey the height in such a way that if you are in the least bit acrophobic you may find yourself getting dizzy, and if you see it in 3D or in an I-Max theater, the experience is even more immersive.
When Saving Private Ryan came out, there were some WWII veterans who found the opening scene to be so authentic, when viewed on the big screen, that it made them feel like they were on the battlefield again, and in some, it triggered a PTSD attack,
But it wasn't just WWII veterans that were affected by it, I heard from several people my own age who saw it in the theater that they thought the opening scene was incredibly intense and emotional, but when I saw the movie, I was disappointed, it was just another movie battle scene. I saw it on my 19 inch television on DVD, it just didn't have the same effect, for me, it really wasn't the same movie, not at all. I didn't see it the right way.
A couple years ago, Ron Howard made a movie about that guy who back walked a tight rope between the two towers of the World Trade Center. The movie recreated his tightrope walk so authentically, it conveyed the height, thousands of feet in the air, so convincingly, that it had to be pulled from theaters after only a couple weeks because so many movie goers were getting sick and vomiting, the sensation was too much for them. No way you could reproduce that effect at home, not even with a 60 inch 4K HDTV and surround sound.

That's a thoroughly inapt comparison. That's like saying what's better, a road trip or watching the Travel channel. The whole point of theater is that its live. The whole point of a movie is not that it be seen in some cavernous space with 200 hundred strangers on some ginormous screen with deafening sound. If you're watching a filmed stage production it has ceased being theater and is now a movie.
Honestly I skipped most of this screed because it's irrelevant. Like I said, it's what you want from the experience. I much prefer to watch a movie in the comfort of my own home, with or without friends, on a comfy couch. I don't have to worry about some giant sitting in front of me, some idiot next to me texting his life story, or a baby in an NC-17 movie screaming like the parents are sticking pins in it. I don't have to deal with a filthy, sticky environment and theater seats that may or may not have bed bugs. I don't have to sit through 25 minutes of coming attractions (aka commercials) for garbage I'll never see. I don't have to pay $10-15 for the mere pleasure of all this, or pay for parking, or spend another $10 on a small bottle of water and stale popcorn. I don't have to worry about running late and missing the start of the film, or miss a part of the film if I have to go pee. I don't have to guess what "Mumbles Marblesmouth" said because I can rewind. I don't have to deal with strangers who think this is the perfect time to hold protracted, loud conversations or argue with characters on the screen. And while rare, I also don't have to worry about some maladapted freak showing up with an automatic weapon. Go on and keep your overpriced POS on a 50 foot screen, I'll be on the couch watching something far more contentedly. What's more, with the decline in attendance, I'd say millions would agree.
