Turng out to the bar those remag days to both mourn the impendg closure and celebrate, that muny was sudnly forced to reckon wh the remr of a larger trend sweepg the natn: gay bars, due to a variety of reasons rangg om risg rents to a proliferatn of datg apps, are closg. But even though the bar has sce reopened — owner Donald O’Neill cled to ment why or how — a larger qutn still remaed: What would mean for New London, as well as the regn, to lose s last gay space?

'Every cy needs a gay space'. For many members of New London’s LGBTQ muny, gay bars are dispensable meetg pots — plac where they uld not jt socialize and meet others, but which act as a safe spac to e out and creatively explore onelf.

“It was the place where, when I turned 18 and had jt e out, I went to dance, ” said T Abad, 26, an openly gay bartenr at Bank Street’s The Social Bar + Kchen, who equents the Brass Rail about three days a week. He ma feel safe to fd myself there, ” Coronado said, who has sce bee an active member of New London’s gay muny, pecially supportg s drag queens. “And nowadays, every cy still needs a gay space.

The Whalg Cy ntually monstrat openns to s LGBTQ muny: The Social, known as an LGBTQ-iendly bar, hosts s monthly drag bnch, and Bank Street's Docksi Rort Bar recently announced would host weekly gay dance and karaoke nights.

But Coronado, and others The Day spoke wh, say New London and the regn still have progrs to make terms of gay acceptance. “It’s not like you will get beat up as a gay man anymore, but that still don’t mean equentg bars as one is always fortable, ” he said. As another example, Coronado said he recently went to Mohegan Sun wh a gay iend and was ridiculed by a group of llege-age men for gog out together.

Sce re-tablished self as a gay bar the mid-2000s, the Brass Rail has functned as an epicenter for drag, both New London and throughout regn. And that’s why that gay bar is so important to so many people.

“Gay bars are not jt bars. Connecticut College profsor and historian Jim Downs, thor of “Stand By Me: The Fotten History of Gay Liberatn, ” add to that pot. In the greater picture of gay liberatn, gay bars have been the fol pots to some of history’s most pivotal moments, Downs said.

Greenwich Village’s 1969 Stonewall rts, the pnacle event gay-liberatn history, started  a gay space: the Stonewall Inn.

And the wake of tragedi, such as the aftermath of the 2016 Orlando nightclub shootg, gay bars have acted as safe spac for the LGBTQ muny to mourn together. The Brass Rail, then, too, played host to one of New London’s most remarkable moments s gay history, when Fiz was elected mayor 2011. The future of gay bars is threatened by what Downs scrib as a perfect storm of circumstanc: risg rents and gentrifitn, a shiftg datg scene due to the growg populary of datg apps, as well as a wir acceptance of the LGBTQ muny wh broar society.
