The bigger fight isn’t over. “A months-long fight over an ID-scanning system that photographs arriving patrons at Castro gay bars has come to a head, with all three venues known to use it — Badlands, Toad Hall, and The Mix — halting the practice under pressure from privacy advocates. But the retreat from the tool, PatronScan, hasn’t […]

Electronic Frontier Foundation: Why Are Gay Bars Building Databases of Their Patrons?. “Recent reports have raised alarm about the use of PatronScan, an ID-checking and face-scanning system, at multiple LGBTQ+ bars in San Francisco’s Castro neighborhood. Much of the attention has focused on reports that the system photographs patrons as they enter venues and questions about whether those […]

Realized as I was about to send it, and then deleted the message I was going to send, that I almost sounded like an old man but I really don’t want queer people who are under 18/21 to be in queer spaces that are strictly 18+/21+. Yes, all of us who are older now snuck into those places when we were young, but most of us wouldn’t recommend doing it. Aside from the fact that you’re endangering those spaces by going in there illegally, you’re also putting yourself at major risk.

Announced today, Washington D.C. will close Dupont Circle for D.C.'s Pride weekend celebrations, starting 6:00 am Friday. March there is Saturday June 20 -- but Dupont Circle reopens 6:00 pm Monday [EDIT] 22nd. [National Park Service has two different end dates, no joke.]
They closed it last year, too, breaking long tradition. That area's where the gay bars are.

#ParadiseLost is the most white-boy #zine I’ve ever made, but it’s just a reality of the hardcore #punk scene that most ppl involved were cis/het white guys. Still, I managed to include the perspectives and contributions of women & people of color as best I could. Queerness comes into play in terms of spaces. This zine is about reconstructing the memory of 80s & 90s Sarasota and it’s no surprise that some of the best places to hang out—the places with the best music & atmosphere—were #GayBars.

How on earth do you protect a #queer space without gatekeeping identities at the door? No one wants a bouncer scanning people’s auras for "heterosexual energy." Which brings me to the elegant, historic, slightly chaotic solution.

I discovered that #queer fellas these days bear a stronger resemblance to me than to Mr. Universe. I was pleased to observe that, within the environs of at least one particular #gay watering hole, the obsession with physical perfection seems to have subsided.
