In those days the Gay Village was vibrant wh sexual energy and had an edge that was excg. Montreal's Gay Village has been rced to a play ground for straights, twks and girls. It seems that Montreal's Gay Village will share the same fate as other ci North Ameri, where they have ma Masculy out of style thereby removg the generatg force that fueled this once vibrant and edgy place to be.

No the kd of thg you see other ci and siar gay villag. One vis to the gay village and was a plete turn off. I'm no snob, but this Gay Village is cheap and lacks a lot and I mean a lot of class.

RENNTRE GRATUE GAY à MONTRéAL
