The growth of datg s and apps has been blamed for a stagnant gay clubbg scene SA. Certaly London, which I regnise is a b of a bubble, I thk people have started to realise they don’t need a specifilly “gay” place to hang out wh their gay iends or meet new on.

Whereas back the day you uld only meet other gay guys gay venu, and only exprs affectn there, I thk nowadays ’s very different. Whilst ’s a shame for the “gay scene”, ’s a great thg for gay people general that there is more acceptance than there ed to be, and I only hope ntu the same way.
