THIS REVIEW IS MEANT TO ADD TO THE PROOF OF THE HOMOPHOBIC, AGGRSIVE, AND UNSAFE BEHAVR PATTERN OF THE SECURY PERSONNEL WORKG AT THE COCK, AT 93 2ND AVENUE, NEW YORK, NY 10009. ON SUNDAY MORNG, MARCH 24TH, 2019 AT BETWEEN 1:45 AM AND 2 AM, I WAS BULLIED, HARASSED AND FALLY GAY-BASHED BY BRIAN, THE LONG-TIME DOORMAN AND THE STRAIGHT-INTIFIED BOUNCER WHO CHASED ME DOWN THE STREET AND THREW ME TO THE SIWALK. HE THREATENED TO BREAK MY ARM AFTER DRIVG MY FACE OVER AND OVER TO THE PAVEMENT. BRIAN THEN LLED THE POLICE AND HAD ME ARRTED. A TEAM OF OFFICERS ME BUT DID NOT ALLOW ME TO FILE A HATE CRIME OR FILE MY OWN CHARG. THE WNS BEG BRIAN, THE DG-ALG KIDS, AND THE BOUNCER WERE ALL THE POLICE LISTENED TO. NEVERTHELS, I WAS GRATEFUL THAT THEY WERE THERE AS I FEARED FOR MY LIFE. ALL THIS HAPPENED AFTER I EXED THE CLUB, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LEAVE PLETELY AS I WAS NSTANTLY THREATENED, LLED HOMOPHOBIC SLURS, AND SURROUND BY THE DG-ALG KIDS, WHO THOUGH NOT MALIC, PREVENTED ME OM WALKG AWAY. AFTER SIX MONTHS URT, THERAPY, $2,000 LEGAL FE; I AM FALLY ABLE TO WRE THIS REVIEW. MY SE WAS FALLY THROWN OUT, BUT WAS A NERVE-WRACKG ORAL THAT ONLY FURTHERED THE ABE THAT WAS IATED BY BRIAN, THE DOORMAN OF THE COCK, THAT EVENG. THGS I DON'T UNRSTAND. WHY WERE DG ALERS TOLERATED BY THE SECURY AND THE LOL POLICE, BUT I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO FILE A HATE CRIME REPORT? WHY DID THE OFFICER NTUE WH THE ARRT AS I HAD NO CRIMAL RERD AND WAS OBV THE VICTIM AS MY FACE WAS BATTERED? (I HAVE THIS MEDILLY DOCUMENTED.) THE MEN ACCG ME OF ATTACKG THEM WERE BOTH OVER SIX FEET TALL AND BUILT LIKE LEBACKERS. I AM MERELY 5FT8 AND UNR 160 LBS. WHY DID MY ARRTG OFFICER APPEAR HIGH WHILE FILG THE CHARG? WHY DID HE MENT ON MY CRED RDS AND THEN THE FOLLOWG DAY I HAD $500 OF DULENT CHARG MA ON MY VISA? WHY DID THE D A NOT THROW OUT THE SE ON THE FIRST DAY BUT FORCED ME TO RETURN TO URT TWICE? IT SHOWS ME THAT THERE IS LTLE PROTECTN FOR CIZENS ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN ARRTED. IN MY SE, I WAS ACCED OF WHAT WAS PERPETRATED AGAST ME. I STILL SUFFER OM SEVERE PRSN AND ANXIETY DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS. ALL I N REALLY HOPE FOR IS THAT THE COCK WILL HIRE NEW SECURY WH SENSIVY TRAG.

NYC – FOTTEN GAY HISTORY: THE ANVIL 500 W. 14TH STREET NYC (1974 TO 1986)

One of the most notor and fun gay after-hours nightspots New York Cy of the 1970s and 1980s was THE ANVIL loted at 500 W. Although a few did make mostly due to trickery or their celebry stat The Anvil was one of the hottt, sleazit, and most glor plac to be for gay men of that perd. There was another small bar downstairs and a large screen on which gay male porn of the perd was played.

It was the patrons, gay men many of whom are gone now which is why is important to remember the sred gay spac of yterday. The Anvil was a gay BDSM after-hours sex club loted at 500 Wt 14th Street, New York, NY, USA, that operated om 1974 to 1985.

THIS REVIEW IS MEANT TO ADD TO THE PROOF OF THE HOMOPHOBIC, AGGRSIVE, AND UNSAFE BEHAVR PATTERN OF THE SECURY PERSONNEL WORKG AT THE COCK, AT 93 2ND AVENUE, NEW YORK, NY 10009. ON SUNDAY MORNG, MARCH 24TH, 2019 AT BETWEEN 1:45 AM AND 2 AM, I WAS BULLIED, HARASSED AND FALLY GAY-BASHED BY BRIAN, THE LONG-TIME DOORMAN AND THE STRAIGHT-INTIFIED BOUNCER WHO CHASED ME DOWN THE STREET AND THREW ME TO THE SIWALK. HE THREATENED TO BREAK MY ARM AFTER DRIVG MY FACE OVER AND OVER TO THE PAVEMENT. BRIAN THEN LLED THE POLICE AND HAD ME ARRTED. A TEAM OF OFFICERS ME BUT DID NOT ALLOW ME TO FILE A HATE CRIME OR FILE MY OWN CHARG. THE WNS BEG BRIAN, THE DG-ALG KIDS, AND THE BOUNCER WERE ALL THE POLICE LISTENED TO. NEVERTHELS, I WAS GRATEFUL THAT THEY WERE THERE AS I FEARED FOR MY LIFE. ALL THIS HAPPENED AFTER I EXED THE CLUB, BUT WAS UNABLE TO LEAVE PLETELY AS I WAS NSTANTLY THREATENED, LLED HOMOPHOBIC SLURS, AND SURROUND BY THE DG-ALG KIDS, WHO THOUGH NOT MALIC, PREVENTED ME OM WALKG AWAY. AFTER SIX MONTHS URT, THERAPY, $2,000 LEGAL FE; I AM FALLY ABLE TO WRE THIS REVIEW. MY SE WAS FALLY THROWN OUT, BUT WAS A NERVE-WRACKG ORAL THAT ONLY FURTHERED THE ABE THAT WAS IATED BY BRIAN, THE DOORMAN OF THE COCK, THAT EVENG. THGS I DON'T UNRSTAND. WHY WERE DG ALERS TOLERATED BY THE SECURY AND THE LOL POLICE, BUT I WAS NOT ALLOWED TO FILE A HATE CRIME REPORT? WHY DID THE OFFICER NTUE WH THE ARRT AS I HAD NO CRIMAL RERD AND WAS OBV THE VICTIM AS MY FACE WAS BATTERED? (I HAVE THIS MEDILLY DOCUMENTED.) THE MEN ACCG ME OF ATTACKG THEM WERE BOTH OVER SIX FEET TALL AND BUILT LIKE LEBACKERS. I AM MERELY 5FT8 AND UNR 160 LBS. WHY DID MY ARRTG OFFICER APPEAR HIGH WHILE FILG THE CHARG? WHY DID HE MENT ON MY CRED RDS AND THEN THE FOLLOWG DAY I HAD $500 OF DULENT CHARG MA ON MY VISA? WHY DID THE D A NOT THROW OUT THE SE ON THE FIRST DAY BUT FORCED ME TO RETURN TO URT TWICE? IT SHOWS ME THAT THERE IS LTLE PROTECTN FOR CIZENS ONCE YOU HAVE BEEN ARRTED. IN MY SE, I WAS ACCED OF WHAT WAS PERPETRATED AGAST ME. I STILL SUFFER OM SEVERE PRSN AND ANXIETY DIRECTLY RELATED TO THIS. ALL I N REALLY HOPE FOR IS THAT THE COCK WILL HIRE NEW SECURY WH SENSIVY TRAG.

New York's Lost Gay BarsWe've known for many years that too many of our cherished gay bars and clubs are shutterg, fallg victim to risg rents and the ubiquy of apps like Grdr and Scff.

At this time gay bars were still not openly operatg, but the way the thory wrote s l meant they would later bee the unexpected llateral damage of the legislatn.

While the thory did not directly ce gay bars any of s extensive regulatns, police will go on to terpret a le agast nng a "disorrly" tablishment to mean venu equented by gay people. Pretty soon, the Fay will have ntrol over majory of the gay nightlife the Village, a monopoly that will ntue ep to the 1960s. A need for as many drafts as possible after Pearl Harbor meant that when gay people enlisted the army, they weren't turned away.
