Bit to Do

Growing up gay in the Louisville area wasn’t the easiest, but I definitely had it better than others in smaller cities. Since I enter from a small town about 45 minutes outside of Louisville I was the only male lover man that I knew, for several years of my experience. But before I knew it I made the move to the big city and create my way into my first gay bar, The Connection. Help in the day I was convinced it was the top thing since sliced bread. However as I’ve gotten older and seen more and more lgbtq+ bars open around the urban area I’ve realized some things. Mostly I’ve noticed that the majority of the older bars in the city make me perceive like I’m keeping my sexuality a secret. The lights are dim, the music is deafening, and there are plenty of dark corners to hide out in.

Before you go and earn your feathers in a ruffle let me say that I realize that when these bars were opened all of the above things were a necessity, especially seeing as where we are from. I’m simply advocating for change. If we crave our community to see as us equals we’ve got to stop hiding. I’m incredibly glad to see more and more gay bars opening around the city
