MAKE AMERI GAY AGA

Durg the time we ran the Palmer, we had several gay nights, as my brother is gay and wanted to give the LGBT muny an optn bis what was the Gayborhood. Both plac did have gay late nights and other gay events.

We knew that the 24th Ward Young Men’s Associatn was movg om s lotn on Sat Jam Street, so we moved the Mayfield to that space and has been there ever my brother first started to go out to gay clubs, Woody’s was always known as the top gay bar Philly.

It was a real gay we purchased , we kept everythg the same for a few years so we uld fd out what ma Woody’s Woody’s. We also knew that by owng Woody’s, we uld do our part to give back to the muny and unrstand what the muny’s needs do you believe Woody’s has ntributed to the Gayborhood, and to a larger extent Philly’s LGBTQ muny, unr your ownership? We feel that Woody’s has ntributed to the Gayborhood not only by the simple fact that we kept a trouble-ee lotn where every time you walked by, you would see a large crowd of diverse people havg a good time.

And his top staff qutns about LGBT recent years, Woody’s has been acced of racially discrimatory drs- polici and havg a role the overall excln of LGBTQ people of lor om the Gayborhood. But we are mted to takg actn when an employee has not nducted themselv you and your brother have been absent om muny foms addrsg Gayborhood racism. After the succs of the Orlando fundraiser “Philly4Pulse, ” we both publicly stated that we wanted to do the next fundraiser and ll “Uny, ” where the proceeds would go to the mory programs our ’s note: Asked for ment on meetg Michael Weiss, reprentativ om the Black and Brown Workers Collective (BBWC) said they have never met him and were not prent at the private September meetg held between Gayborhood bar owners, Philly Black Pri, PCHR, Office of LGBT Affairs, and the Mayor’s Office.

BBWC has prevly spoken out about such private meetgs beg held by ernment officials and Gayborhood stakeholrs. Back law school jt a uple years ago, he went almost every weekend, partyg wh iends who enjoyed the Gayborhood stutn as much as he did. Go to almost any other bar the Gayborhood, and you’ll get near-universal agreement that Woody’s has changed.
