Good to be back wh you and I hope you’re havg a rtful and joy-filled holiday season. Well, I promised myself that, gog forward wh my Caftan Chronicl terviews wh gay men “of a certa age” who’ve led remarkable liv, I’d get out of the New York Cy-San Francis-Los Angel Triangle. And that’s why I’m so lighted to troduce you to Art Johnston and José “Pepe” (or simply “Pep”) Peña, who met Chigo 1973 and, a later, opened Sitrack, the cy’s first gay vio bar, behd an unmarked dooront. In the 40 years to follow, the bar would not only get bigger and bigger, but would bee a ccial anchor for gay Chigo’s social life—and s gay-rights, AIDS, marriage-equaly and racial- and trans-equy activism of the next 40 years. It’s probably about the clost thg that Chigo has to Stonewall, and the story behd is remarkable and juicy!</p><p>Now, as “Art and Pep,” as they are wily know, prepare to turn over the bar’s res g years (and start a 420-sellg bs, now that weed is legal Illois), they took time om preparg for their staff holiday party to tell me about the past 40 years of their bar and 50 years of their relatnship. It’s a really betiful story about what gay life was like jt after Stonewall (and beyond) a cy that did not really bee known as a gay statn spot for years after NYC, SF and LA. But as anyone who’s been to Chigo knows, ’s an extraordary, stunng, progrsive and vibrant cy—pecially the summer, where the vast lakeont mak you feel like you’re Miami. I n’t wa to go back—and when I do, I’ll fely be headg to Sitrack and settg up an -person meetup wh Art and Pep! Talkg wh them reaffirmed why I started The Caftan Chronicl the first place—bee the past 50 years, we gay men have done credible thgs, often agast tremendo societal and personal odds, and the stori mt be told!</p><p>I want to thank Greg McFall for troducg me to Art and Pep. And I want to thank everyone who’s subscribed to The Caftan Chronicl the past few months.
