Gay night clubs in louisville
Bit to Do
Growing up queer in the Louisville area wasn’t the easiest, but I definitely had it better than others in smaller cities. Since I come from a little town about 45 minutes outside of Louisville I was the only lgbtq+ man that I knew, for several years of my life. But before I knew it I made the move to the big city and found my way into my first gay exclude, The Connection. Back in the day I was convinced it was the best thing since sliced bread. However as I’ve gotten older and seen more and more same-sex attracted bars open around the city I’ve realized some things. Mostly I’ve noticed that the majority of the older bars in the city make me feel like I’m keeping my sexuality a private. The lights are dim, the music is blaring, and there are plenty of dark corners to hide out in.
Before you go and get 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 modify. If we want our community to see as us equals we’ve got to stop hiding. I’m incredibly happy to view more and more same-sex attracted bars opening around the city
