GAYBORHOOD

Parks grew up Raleigh and equented the Gayborhood. Capal Corral, known as the The CC, opened the 1976 and beme Raleigh’s first gay stutn for men. “This bar was a legendary bar, and one of the only gay bars town, this really sort of anchored the muny, thoands and thoands of people will say this is the first gay bar they ever attend, ” Parks said.

“When I me out the '80’s, we had to be really reful about stuff, the belief was beg gay was wrong, beg gay was sick, beg gay was illegal, all this stuff, and took a lot of risk to even adm that to somebody, you might lose iends, you might lose your job, you might lose your apartment, luckily that happens much ls now, ” Parks said. Most larger ci the Uned Stat have a neighborhood that is popular wh the Gay muny or the entire lbian, gay, bisexual and transgenr muny. Hargett Street is fairly central wh Downtown, and many people headg there om other sectns of the greater Raleigh metro regn, pass right through this area of Hargett Street whout knowg that part of is an active Gayborhood.

Andrew Ahn’s father once told him that there were “no gay people Korea.

In a culturally nservative muny, where gog to church and buildg a fay were heavily emphasized, Ahn felt his gay inty kept him “om beg able to participate Korean culture. ” Then, he started equentg GAMeBoi, a weekly Asian Amerin gay party at Wt Hollywood’s Rage Nightclub.

He learned to embrace beg both Korean and gay, so much so that he directed “Fire Island, ” a groundbreakg queer Asian Amerin rom- released last year.
