Gay Bar

Gay bars are places where gay and transgendered people can meet and have fun without fear, at least in the United States. In other countries, where homosexuality is a crime, they have gone underground.

About Gay Bar

Gay bars or gay clubs are establishments that cater to the LGBT community. LGBT stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. This is a place where the LGBT community can go and socialize, dance and drink openly. They are found all over the world and range in size from small informal bars to super venues with multi levels and dance floors.

One of the most famous gay bars in the United States is a place called The Stonewall. It is located in the West Village of New York City, NY. This is where gay rights activism began. On June 27, 1969, patrons decided they had enough of the constant police raids of gay bars and took a stand. They fought back until they were dispersed, the following evening the crowd grew even larger and a riot broke out. Protesters began shouting Gay Power in the streets. The following Wednesday they marched on Christopher Street thus officially beginning the gay rights movement. The Stonewall Riots are known worldwide as an important event in the gay rights movement.

Though gay night clubs were places where sexual 'hookups' often happened with frequency, with the AIDS epidemic in the 80's, sex with complete strangers lost some of its allure, for both gay and straight people. Many gay night clubs stopped such practices in the 80's because of the danger to their patrons.

Amsterdam is one of the most gay friendly places in the world with some of the greatest gay clubs in existence. The largest gay club in Amsterdam is Exit. It boasts four floors with multiple dance floors and even a chill out area on the top floor. Club Roque is another popular place along with many others in the Red Light District. The gay rights movement has been active since the 1940’s in Amsterdam.
