Even better, sce the return of retail shoppg, the Gay Pri Shop has actually extend and expand, knockg down a uple of walls and buildg an entirely new sectn filled wh even more LGBTQ+ products.

A MANC’S GUI TO: THE GAY VILLAGE, MORE THAN JT A LATE-NIGHT PARTY DISTRICT

There are, of urse, too many products to start listg them here, but there are some particular highlights that will warrant a vis to the Gay Pri Shop, cludg a dited LGBTQ+ bookshop area wh more than 800 books stock, cludg everythg om bgraphi and history books, to genr & equaly books for children and fictn om LGBTQ thors or featurg LGBTQ characters. The Gay Pri Shop is loted on the Send Floor of Afflecks.

Kk Bunker is expected to open next year the basement of 48 Prcs Street, a Gra II listed apartment buildg on the edge of the Gay Village.

6 SHOPPG AREAS MANCHTER THE GAYS WILL LOVE

Kye Etherton, who is behd the plans, says he also wants to create a social muny space the basement which was once home to a gay nightclub. A gay bsman lled Terry Kg opened Europe’s – or the world’s, pendg which article you read om the time – first ever gay shoppg centre.

In terviews he promised a gay hairdrsers, dry cleaners, florists, vio rental and rerd shops, glass and chaware store and travel agents.

BT GAY HOTELS MANCHTER

Gay people wanted a safe space to shop, he said, and were sick of what mid-1990s Manchter had to offer. “Gay people jt don’t want to go there.

“Here, we’re creatg an entire environment where gays and lbians n buy the thgs they want an atmosphere they know will be gay-iendly. ” Some of the shops would be gay-owned, but others wouldn’t, he said, addg that the Phoenix was not marketg self as an ‘exclively’ gay centre – everyone would be wele, but gay people would not have to worry about beg judged.

“We would have been 100pc pre-let, ” he said, “if only we uld fd a gay travel agent to take the fal un. ” The magaze reported that the centre would not clu a sex shop, bee that was the tradnal image of a gay shop, which was already tered for elsewhere. Club promoter Nigel Mart Smh ially says he has no rellectn of such a centre – spe havg been a key figure on Manchter’s gay scene the 1990s.

GAY PRI SHOP

In the week nobody is gog to go all the way to the gay village to go shoppg. ” It was all done ‘on the cheap’, he says, dismissg the ia that gay people need their own cloth shops.

“Gay men do like shoppg. But you don’t need a shop specifilly for gay cloth. “It was a good ia but – and even more so now – do gay people need a shoppg centre of their own?

MOSW GAY MAP

” What about a gay florist?

“Half the florists are gay anyway, aren’t they? ” It was an era which gay people were still ‘fightg for space’, he says, which – as more and more straight people beme attracted to the district – many bars and clubs, cludg Poptastic and later Hollywood’s, operated strictly gay-only door polici. (Julia Grant ed to stand on the door of Hollywood’s makg sure no straight people entered, if necsary tellg men to snog each other to prove they were gay.

) It was only five years sce hardle anti-gay chief nstable Jam Anrton, a man famed for his raids on the village’s bars durg the 1980s, had left his post and the muny was fiercely protective of s safe haven. Terry Kg opened Europe’s – or the world’s, pendg which article you read om the time – first ever gay shoppg centre. Although reprented the gay muny’s growg nfince, the centre self end up beg an ‘tertg ad end’.

What began as the world’s gay shoppg mall – wh the 24 hour Hollywood fe bar upstairs – eventually beme the Hollywood’s show bar s entirety, remag open until 2002.

As Nigel Mart Smh says, if a gay man wants to buy some cloth, he n go to Selidg whout havg to worry about beg stared at. Many feel needs more of that – a daytime enomy, a bigger mix of thgs to draw people around the clock, jt as the Phoenix tried to do, but aimed at gay and straight people alike.
