What Was The Name Of The First Gay Bar You Went To?
Advertisements [?]
Discussion: How old were you? What city was it in?

The first gay bar I ever visited was called the "Melody Club" in Gainesville, Florida. It was 1978... the legal drinking age was still 18 (I was just barely legal.) --- Scared shitless, I was. Not only was it a (gasp!) gay bar with a disco... but it was also a DRAG BAR too. Oh my god! I had led such a sheltered life that I had NO IDEA what a drag queen was. It was one of the more memorable events in my life!!


PS: I got over my fear of drag queens! Now I adore them!!
