For as gay as Ann Arbor touts self as beg, where is the cy’s physil evince for this claim? * gay club ann arbor *

This is fely a great place to be if you’re terted gettg volved wh Ann Arbor’s gay nightlife.

In my send semter at the Universy of Michigan, I ma a iend whom I, as a transfer who was sperately lookg for other Queer people Ann Arbor, latched onto as somethg of a gay mentor. She gave me two remendatns for where to fd gay culture: the -ops and Aut Bar — the latter beg the cy’s only gay bar. After I regnized Aut Bar’s absence, I realized how disnnected and sparse Ann Arbor’s gay scene really was.

It was te that Ann Arbor felt like had a larger, lour gay populatn than East Lansg, where I had spent two years prevly as a stunt at Michigan State Universy, and certaly had more of one than where I grew up. I knew firsthand that Ann Arbor lived up to s reputatn for beg gay-iendly. But what, really, did the cy of Ann Arbor have to show for s gay muny other than what I n only ll the “vib?

” For as gay as Ann Arbor touted self as beg, where was the cy’s physil evince for this claim? A iend asked me to e along to a discsn group at the Jim Toy Communy Center — an LGBTQ+ rource center named after the pneerg Ann Arbor gay-rights activist who found the Human Sexualy Office, now the Universy’s Spectm Center — that they found onle, supposedly two doors down om the empty Aut Bar space. The skeletons of Aut Bar, the Jim Toy Communy Center and Common Language — the LGBTQ+ bookstore between them — pated a picture of the ltle urtyard as a former center of gay muny Ann Arbor.

Wh my regret at havg jt missed the tail end of Aut Bar’s n revived, and a new cursy about not only Brn Court’s gay history but Ann Arbor’s, I rolved to do a ltle rearch of my own.

The Flame was Ann Arbor’s primary public gatherg and socializg spot for gay men for s; nothg of the kd existed for gay women.

Of the current state of gay spac Ann Arbor, Orr said ’s “pretty much nonexistent.

Nothg agast Necto’s Friday night, but a space that’s a gay dance bar once a week n never really be a muny center. If somethg taclysmic happens wh the gay muny, a Pulse, or if the Supreme Court after abortn starts gog after gay rights — sce they’re based on the same legal prcipl — where do we go? Orr and Contreras also drew a le between gay spac and gay-iendly spac, echog some of my own thoughts.

“(In a gay space), you have that sense of ‘There’s 300 people here who are here to enjoy each other and enjoy beg Queer. ’ That’s jt a different vibe than gog out to dner at a gay-iendly place, ” Contreras said. I don’t want to disunt or disregard what a power and privilege is to be able to exist as a gay person Ann Arbor and feel safe while dog so.
