About this Panel
Traditionally, bars were more than just drinks and cruising: they were holiday potlucks, neighborhood sports team sponsors, and a chance for lifelong friendships. While half of America’s gay bars have closed since 2007, new queer spaces are eschewing the rainbow flag and LGBT map markers in favor of word-of-mouth networking and underground takeovers. Is this the future of the gay bar?
