One of the people I’m interviewing for my thesis: so once you go off and get that PhD, what are you going to do with your life?
Me: well, after going through all that, hopefully I’m going to end up researching more of this stuff
Them: I think you’re going to end up owning a gay bar

There are several problems with gay bars: one, that you have to stay up too late, and, two, that they’re designed to be exhilarating. This typically means the music is loud and your attention is directed to the glitterati: “Who’s that hunk coming in the door now?” As a patron, your attention is always wandering. And then there’s the alcohol issue. For some, that’s a third problem.

I recently went to a gay bar to meet new people. I was feeling pretty confident, rocking my favorite shirt and a fresh haircut. But as soon as I walked in, I felt the judgmental stares from every direction. It was like I had walked onto the set of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and failed to impress the judges.

It feels like queer and especially trans people can’t go outside without being berated or assaulted. My partner was called a “faggot” a few blocks from our home in a progressive city in a progressive state. How 90’s of them! I didn’t even know people still used that word as a slur!

Key Term: Natural Community Culture Center

- magnetism of space encourages patron engagement
-- welcoming of those who are not welcome elsewhere
-- manual creation of an item of cultural appreciation

applied to a gay bar
point 1: joining in with singing to bar music
point 1a: even w/o pickup goal, lgbtq person(s) may seek to drink with other lgbtq person(s)
point 1b: it takes a long time to become a regular spot w/ regular customers

One of the small business management ideas that brought me to my topic is authenticity.

The relevant questions here are:
- How do people react when experiencing difficulty(ies) with a given small business?
- How does consumer perception of the space's authenticity impact their response to difficulty(ies)?
- How do these businesses control and/or shape their employees to support organizational goals?

Local rumors (that I find credible) say that these calls were placed by Patrick Manary and Nate Stickel, two men who were recently banned from every gay bar in the STL and Metro East areas for being anti-Black racists. They've been calling and Facebook posting and messaging individuals and bar owners with threats for months.

Today's the day! Tending to my green babies, visiting a friend in recovery, hitting up the state's 2nd legal cannabis dispensary, and maybe even checking out the legendary gay bars on Christopher St. Let's do this! 🌱💚🌞🥳💊🌳🌲🌴🌵

I'm getting kind of tired of drag queens being attacked at gay bars. They're just providing entertainment.
