Velvet, he said, is perceived as a place for fashnable and ser clubbers who are primarily gay men, whereas Tracks is an "everyone" place. It was his first nightclub and the first place where he felt tly fortable beg gay. Town, the massive gay dance club Shaw, announced last week that will close next summer after mors to the ntrary.

D.C.'S BT GAY BARS AND HANGOUTS

I me out twelve years ago, and like many queer kids DC, I sought out gay bars as a refuge.

Yet many of the plac I equented are gone: Phase 1 Barracks Row, Apex Dupont Circle, Ins Fairfax (which wasn’t a gay bar, but hosted a lot of drag shows), not to mentn all of the LGBT clubs Navy Yard that closed to make way for Natnals Park over a ago. When Town opened 2007, the sleek, warehoe-style club seemed out of place at 8th and Florida, far om DC’s tradnal “gayborhood” on 17th Street. But did lead the gay muny’s shift further east towards Shaw, herg a new generatn of bars, like Dirty Goose, Takoda, and Uproar.

What do Town closg mean for the cy’s gay muny? Contributors agree that the “gayborhood” isn’t gog anywhere, but won’t look the same the future.

GAY WASHGTON DC

Town was the first gay bar I ever vised, but I met my boyiend of the last three years at a (straight) bar. All that said, I hope that the owners of Town follow the lead of DC Eagle and Secrets, which found new hom so they uld ntue to wele both people at a gay bar for their first time and people who experience every week.
