Boston&#;s gay bars of yore
Which Boston gay bar do you miss the most?
Russ Lopez book, The Hub of the Gay Universe: An LGBTQ History of Boston, Provincetown and Beyond shares how vibrant Boston&#;s gay scene was through the much of the 20th century. After WWII, Boston had more than a dozen gay bars. Those numbers would proceed to proliferate over the coming decades (peaking in the s &#; 90s) alongside other businesses that catered to the local gay community.
Last year Machine / Ramrod closed after a developer purchased the building it was located in to spin the block into residences. And a few weeks ago, I shared that the Boston Eagle has permnantly closed. The impairment of these spaces has reignited the discussion about the slow demise of the gay bar in Boston, and it made me wonder, what same-sex attracted bar from Boston&#;s past do you miss the most?
