Supporting Queer Space

Kimbo · 02-06-2010, 10:54 PM

In Seattle we have Capital Hill, the mecca of the gay community, but it seems to slowly be dwindling. Many people have moved to the burbs and a few clubs have opened up to accommodate that. For the most part what I experience in my community of West Seattle is that we have clubs that are gay friendly, hire gay employees knowing that quite a few of their clientele is gay. Driving to town, hanging at a bar has lost the appeal for some when you can have that very same social interaction at a local club. I make a point of going in to our one and only lesbian bar, The Wild Rose, because I want them to continue to stay open but it is not often at all.
