A CELEBRATN OF THE GLOR GAY CLUB
On a balmy summer’s eveng, walkg down Manchter’s Canal Street wh a iend, I stepped to my first gay bar. I was seventeen, only two people the world - me and him - knew I was gay. I lgh at the absurdy of all now, but that first tentative step to the gay world, my world, was a fg experience.
I will always remember my first proper gay club experience at Missn Leeds. My first memorable gay clubbg experience was at Circ London.
THE DOS & DON'TS OF GAY CLUBBG
Gay clubs played such an important part of my life as this was where I felt I was disverg myself and lettg go of any fears I held onto growg up.
The first time I walked to a Queer gay club Manchter - after seeg plac on Canal Street feature Queer As Folk - every expectatn I uld have imaged was met. It was a night of many firsts: my first gay bar, first drag show, the first time I ever kissed a boy public.
SURVIVG THE GAY JUNGLE AKA A GUI TO GAY CLUBBG
More than all of this though, for the first time I was surround by people who appeared totally reee by the one thg that had ed me so much anguish throughout my teens – beg gay.
For me, The Joer's (RIP) was a really important gay venue. As well as enablg me to lnch my club night, was the centre of East London's thrivg gay muny and a wicked night out.
