GAYT PLAC IN CONNECTICUT FOR 2020

My pot more gay bars have been closg down than openg, CT. Do have anythg to do wh a dwdlg gay populatn CT?

It's jt sad that Province, which is somewhat siar to Hartford, has plenty of vibrant gay bars, and CT lags far behd the gay nightlife partment. Even metro areas such as Albany, Buffalo and Rochter have signifintly larger gay populatns than Hartford metro. Six years ago, when I moved back to Granby wh my parents, I had dreamed of openg a new gay bar Hartford.

But, then I realized would be a waste of time, effort and money, bee the gay populatn the Hartford area is signifintly lower than other metro areas of siar size, and I know nothg about alhol or dance mic.

Gay bars are closg bee fewer gay people (at least open and liberal muni like Connecticut) fd necsary to segregate themselv.

Historilly gay bars served a protective, as well as social, functn--which is thankfully ls necsary today.

NEW HAVEN GAY BARS

Also, wh the rise of onle datg, 's not as important to have venu wh a primary functn of facilatg gay people to meet other gay people. In NYC, which obvly has a large gay populatn, seems gay bars are shrkg too, probably for siar reasons. So I doubt this phenomenon has anythg to do wh a low populatn of gay people relative to other parts of the Northeast.

Tolerant tim brg change to gay bars. Anywhere I go out, which is to say I don't go to "heterosexual only bars", there are plenty of gay folks. Gay people are largely accepted society today and go out wh their "hetero" iends to the same plac.

It mak sense that this would lower the mand for gay bars. My partner and I never go to gay bars.

I thk wh onle datg, and discrimatn agast gays g to a rapid hlt, gay bars have jt bee passe.

Now, Province actually has more gay nightclubs than Boston. Pulse was not a gay bar, jt had events.

Well, once a while I go to a gay bar, but yeah, I've been dog the onle thg sce 2003. I'll agree that the primary reason gay bars are closg down is bee of ter s and phone apps.

GAY CONNECTICUT TRAVEL GUI

As a gay person however, I don't see the pot gog to straight bars. Might as well take out the gus work and go to a gay bar so that you know that the other men there are also terted men. You are dog what most gays do now and that is meetg people onle.

There is no need to go to a gay bar to meet other gays. As others noted, there is not longer a need to have exclively gay bars. New London — When the Whalg Cy’s last remag gay bar, O’Neill’s Brass Rail, announced was closg last month, the news sent shockwav through the regn’s LGBTQ muny.

Turng out to the bar those remag days to both mourn the impendg closure and celebrate, that muny was sudnly forced to reckon wh the remr of a larger trend sweepg the natn: gay bars, due to a variety of reasons rangg om risg rents to a proliferatn of datg apps, are closg.

But even though the bar has sce reopened — owner Donald O’Neill cled to ment why or how — a larger qutn still remaed: What would mean for New London, as well as the regn, to lose s last gay space?

For many members of New London’s LGBTQ muny, gay bars are dispensable meetg pots — plac where they uld not jt socialize and meet others, but which act as a safe spac to e out and creatively explore onelf.
