RAISG THE BAR: A BRIEF HISTORY OF GAY BARS

Chanc are pretty good, if you’re an LGBTQIA+ person you’ve been to a gay bar. Even if you’re jt someone who lov an LGBTQIA+ person, there’s still a good chance you’ve been to a gay bar.

THE GREATT GAY BAR STRAIGHT TV HISTORY

I’m not sayg you’re dog queerns wrong if you haven’t been to a gay bar, I’m jt sayg ’s a pretty mon shared experience.

But I’m not here to weigh the pros and ns of gay bars — we n all do that on Twter (and we do) — I jt want to talk briefly about the history of gay bars, talk a teeny b about some of the first on to exist, and some of the olst on that we still have today. Gay bars were not, at least ially, all that different om molly ho and, terms of their purpose, still aren’t. To separate molly ho om gay bars, we have to kd of look at the history of bars themselv.

So, to separate molly ho om gay bars — and I’m not gog to claim this is the official fn, ’s jt what I’m workg wh here — I’m gog to fe gay bars as legimate, legal bs foced entirely (or almost entirely) on the sale of alhol to queer ctomers. And so gay bars began to pop up — the first, as far as we n tell was Cann, France (where homosexualy had been crimalized sce 1791. Meanwhile, Berl had also bee a hotspot of gay and lbian nightlife by 1900, thanks largely to the Scientific-Humanarian Commtee‘s prence there, though a lot of the specific rerds about the spots were lost thanks to the Nazis.
