There are strip clubs and dive bars and f and cktail bars servg both gay and straight people. Mattson wr that 50 percent of the untry’s gay bars closed between 2012 and 2021, and that the difficulti have not been evenly felt. But even light of all the threats, gay bars are figurg out how to fill hol muny needs, how to pete wh apps and apathy, how to balance muny tradns wh more clive valu.
And what’s more, the “gay bar” as exists popular imagatn — an exclive space by and for eher gay men or women — has never reprented what gay bars actually are.
Or if a nightclub has a gay night at least once a week, then I’m willg to say that’s a place where queer culture flourish. So then I set out to make a database g the Damron guis and to fd out, were gay bars gog away? And then I wanted to know om people who’ve been volved wh gay bars over the last 20 or so years, what have they seen?

Is , “I don’t need gay bars my middle age, but I might as a retiree, ” or is , “I don’t need gay bars now that I’m a mted partnership, but I might if I were sgle”? I don’t know that needg gay bars is an on-off swch for the rt of your life, and so ’s important to me that the bars that n serve all of be open for when we need them.

In my own life, I start feelg guilty for not equentg the gay bars my neighborhood and my cy.
” A lot of amics bate or wonr whether we’re a post-gay phase, where we — and ’s never que clear who the “we” is — don’t need our gay inti or LGBTQ+ inti anymore. But one of the thgs I realized talkg to owners of bars that don’t intify as gay bars but are certaly full of gay people is that maybe other bars need to prove to that they’re post-straight. Somethg that sort of surprised me when I was terviewg was the number of straight people who are pillars of the gay muny.
The number of ci where the gay muny jt do not functn whout the labor and re of some straight person. But I’m cur what you thk queer and gay bars might look like whout the threat of opprsn. Here I rely on David Halper, who wrote a book, How to Be Gay, and he nclus that even if was a world whout opprsn, we still are raised a heteronormative world.
