Santa Barbara's once thrivg gay club scene dwdled, and eventually pletely disappeared, as varyg sexual orientatns and genr inti beme more wily accepted and datg apps beme more readily available. But 's left the Central Coast whout a gay bar reach—the neart (acrdg to mor and Google) are Ventura, Frno, and San Jose—and many lols say the safety gay bars and clubs provi is still very much need, pecially the more nservative portns of the state.

Still, Domguez and his partner— bs and life—Daniel Gomez, who also -owns SLOQueerdos, agree that openg a gay bar on the Central Coast would be challengg. Rent is stly, liquor licens are hard to e by, and they qutned whether a gay bar SLO would have enough nsistent bs to stay open.

While gay bars do provi LGBTQ muni wh sential social opportuni, Gomez said 's easier than ever to lk up through readily accsible onle datg apps like Tr and Grdr. I thk [onle datg] has a huge impact on the gay club scene.
