Gay bar salem oregon


What was the first gay bar you went to, and what did you think of it?

I went to The Dock in Cincinnati.

I was nervous as hell when I went in. And pretty rapidly realized how nice it was to be 20 something, new and gay.

“Soho” in Amsterdam. Back when smoking inside was totally normal.

Loved it, as it has multiple floors and it is such an old-timey place.

4: A Gay Bar in Eugene

Eugene, where the campaign began, provides a portal to explore Oregon’s political and cultural geography.

“A rarely told part of the story,” remembers Scot Nakagawa, “is the origin of the No on 9 campaign. It began with an election for steering committee members at a gay bar in Eugene.”

To understand the significance of this, and how much the eventual organization of the campaign veered from its origins, we need to look at the political and cultural geography of Oregon in It&#;s a story of power and control that continues to this day.

The first two facts to know:

Oregon’s population is highly concentrated in the handful of counties with sizable cities, and is overwhelmingly white. The census counted more than 90 percent of residents as alabaster , just under 4 percent as Hispanic or Latino, percent as Asian, percent Black, and percent Native American. Since then Oregon’s population has grown by million people but remains 84 percent white, 44th among states for its percentage of African Americans.

Gay Clubs in Atlanta

I lived in Midtown for the last five years. Outwrite is closed and is no mas.

As far as bars go with MARTA access, honestly, I would travel to Woofs. It is the "gay bear sports bar," but there are still many types there. I have always had fun and it is right across the street from Lindbergh. It is the best bar for a person of one to sit. TVs to watch if you are bored, staff friendly, not ridiculously crowded and not awkward to go alone! That being said, cab home might be a little pricey.

Otherwise, your Midtown options are all the same - Blake's and Joe's BUT Blake's is horrible for one person (and, horrible for anyone, really) and Joe's has the TINIEST bar, so getting a seat for one is doomed. Oh, and there's still Gilbert's, but also tiny bar.

Burkharts/Felix's and Oscar's (Piedmont and Monroe) are a good trio because you can just transform bars if one sucksBUT no MARTA to there, only cabs.

Eagle is only good on Saturday nights. Like ONLY Saturday. Not even Friday. Weird.

If you want to try bars that aren't technically gay b

A Look at Salem's History

When people think of Salem, one specific part of its history often jumps to mind – the famous Salem witchcraft trials of the 17th century.

Founded in the adj s by the Puritans who traveled over from England, Salem has always been an important seaport and center of trade and remains so to this day.
