IT’S ACTUALLY AN AMAZG MELTG POT OF CULTUR. EACH CY HAS ’S OWN ROOTS AND HERAGE TO BE PROUD OF. ONE THG TO NOT BE PROUD OF IS THE FACT THAT SUICI IS NNG RAMPANT THROUGH OUR MUNY. THE INLAND EMPIRE HAS A CULTURE OF SILENCE THAT IS THE DRIVG TREND. IT’S NOT MY PLACE TO GET TO THE ISSU FACG EACH CULTURE BUT GENERAL, THGS ARE NOT TALKED ABOUT. WHAT IS MY PLACE TO TALK ABOUT IS THE QUEER, LGBTQA OR GAY MUNY. I’LL E THE WORD QUEER BEE I THK ’S THE MOST CLIVE TERM, BUT INTIFY, AS YOU LIKE. THE QUEER MUNY HAS A VERY MYOPIC VIEW OF THE STGGL FACG THEIR MEMBERS. WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE QUEER RIGHTS MOVEMENTS, YOU LOOK AT OM AN URBAN, AFFLUENT, MALE, WHE AND CISGENR PERSPECTIVE.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER ORLANDO, THERE WAS A PH FOR PEOPLE TO UNRSTAND WHAT THE GAY BAR MEANS TO THE MUNY. I PARTICIPATED BEE I GREW UP AFFLUENT, CISGENR AND WHE, SO I WAS WELED WH OPEN ARMS AT THE GAY BARS AND FELT AT HOME. WHAT I HAVE LEARNED THROUGH MY WORK, THAT IS NOT THE RE FOR THE MAJORY OF THE QUEER COMMUNY. IN PLAC LIKE SAN BERNARDO COUNTY, THERE ARE NO GAY BARS OR FFEE SHOPS. THERE IS NO MUNY. PEOPLE ARE FOR TO BY TRYG TO STAY AFLOAT TO S A BAR OR FFEE SHOP.
