THE CENTRAL COAST HAS A THRIVG LGBTQ MUNY, SO WHERE ARE ALL THE GAY BARS? 

Origally The Gay and Lbian Alliance – GALA’s missn has expand to clu dividuals of all sexual orientatns, genr inti and exprsns and we offer social support, advocy, rourc, referrals and more.

So Uribe always thought the gay bars Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo unti would provi that much-need and missg support system and work.

The lack of LGBTQ-specific nightlife on the Central Coast is an issue much of the lol gay and trans muny is forced to work around. 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.

Uribe, who is now a stunt at Allan Hanck College, fally ma their gay bar dream e te this sprg while visg a iend San Francis. Like so many other LGBTQ rints the area and across the natn, Uribe helped start an anizatn dited to givg gay, trans, and queer dividuals a safe space to meet up and build support systems.

Uribe and other Hanck stunts revalized the school's long idle Queers and Alli Club last year, and the group regularly hosts meetgs, ffee meetups, and parti, which Uribe dubbed "gay bash. He wanted to spice thgs up by startg a group that would make easier for lol LGBTQ dividuals to meet, and was mullg over the ia one day when he walked to the now closed Metro Brewg Company San Luis Obispo and jt happened to spot two gay upl si.

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. Chufar and Johns are married, and they're both board members at Santa Barbara's Gay and Lbian Bs Associatn, a nonprof that funds scholarships awards each year to llege-bound and votnal stunts across the unty. As gayns gradually beme more wily accepted, so did gay bs, and that arm of the nonprof eventually halted s work.

Johns has lived Santa Barbara sce the '70s, and said there were about six gay bars Santa Barbara alone at one time. Younger generatns are g datg apps to fd other gays town now rather than gay bars, and Chufar and Johns said that's OK. But that's not necsarily te other, more nservative swaths of the Central Coast, acrdg to reprentativ of the Hoe of Pri and Equaly (HOPE), a Santa Maria-based anizatn dited to creatg safe spac for the lol gay and trans muny.

Cee Chavez works wh HOPE, and said that while she might ocsnaly see openly gay upl North County, 's not as predomate or accepted as South County. That wouldn't be a problem if there was a gay bar somewhere the area, acrdg to Anthony Lover, another HOPE official.
