At Slog, Savage suggests that the space about to be vacated by the not-lamented Sugar might present a good location for the about to be evicted Pony -- which was, after all, created in the very short-term in that space that will be torn down. But, as often happens on Slog, the comments are as interesting as the original post. After a few bar history comments that miss the history of the nabe's gay spaces, "Daddy Jeff" offers this great bit of history reminding us that Savage's suggestion would take us forward into the past: Here is some the back story on the Sugar space. The guys...

Bill W. at GaySeattle.blogspot (whose headlines, by the way, are always available on seaQwa 's homepage under the Qdo heading) has a great piece -- The Impending Death of the Gay Bar -- on one aspect of the much-discussed and ever-changing gayborhoods. I suppose as the young gays get older and the old gays “get put out to pasture” this idea of the "gay bar” may be dramatically different than it ever has been. Even today so many of the new gay clubs are actually “pseudo gay” and really catering to straights who want the nostalgic feeling that they’re in a gay club. When traveling, gays...

Street signs with rainbow flag colors help define Philadelphia's 'Gayborhood' photo: Towleroad Responding to the distressing story in today's PI about an upsurge of anti-gay threats and violence on Capitol Hill, The Stranger's Dan Savage suggests that we should consider marking the neighborhood to claim it as uniquely gay. As he points out, that's been done in Chicago. It's also been done in Philadelphia and elsewhere. Great idea. But it's a bit ironic coming from one of the primary supporters of the downtown Pride parade. Savage is right that anti-gay threats and...

Street signs with rainbow flag colors help define Philadelphia's 'Gayborhood' photo: Towleroad Here in Seattle, the activists who claim to own the name "Seattle Pride" have proudly stated for years that they've grown up and moved beyond our town's gay neighborhoods. Seattle's annual gay pride parade was moved off of Broadway on Capitol Hill and now marches through a multi-decade construction zone on Fourth Avenue downtown, following roughly the same route in reverse as the town's wonderfully tacky Seafair Torchlight Parade. Gay and lesbian activists and businesses...
