What was the name of the club in Denver you spoke of? Were there other Black Gay venues in Denver or elsewhere in Colorado you could help me out with. HEY, YOU KNOW I WASN'T GOING TO LET YOU GET AWAY WITHOUT ASKING YOU?! Would be nice if it were different but it doesn't seem to be. (LOL) It's just the world we live in unfortunately. In the 90s when more blacks began to hang out in the area Chelsea became the white gay hangout. Technically I can't swear that as I've never been to one but the famed Christopher St in Greenwich Village in the 70s and 80's was a mostly white gay hangout. Today, if you go to NYC, you will find clubs where both exist.I'm sure there is a white presence in some black clubs and a black presence in some white clubs but for the most part.they both stay separate. Unfortunately, it seems that "most" of the time, at least from everything I've heard and read blacks and whites largely partied separately. They told me there was a different club where black gay men hung out. I soon found out that white gay men in Charleston were quite racist. I remember noticing that everyone was white, and I asked why there were no black guys in the club. It was very hidden and hard to find (this was in 1995). Once I went to Charleston, SC for work and went to a gay club. Especially in Denver, where racism isn't overt or common. Although I sort of found the segregation within a minority community to be odd.

I'm white, but I liked going to both of them. I remember here in Denver there was a gay club that was almost exclusively black guys, and another that was Hispanic guys. I'm 47, but spent plenty of time in gay clubs back in my single days of the early 90s. Interesting that you're looking into this history. Don't have many but it's nice to wonder back in 1975 when I was just 10 yrs old, what gay life was like and what gay black life was like. Not trying to advertise but if you look at my facebook page you will see some of the pictures I have already found. Lastly, I think EVERYBODY should be able to look online and find their history.even black gay men! I just want to experience that through picture, stories I find on the net.etc! If you look on the NY page and you will see a picture I posted from a black gay club in the twenties and thirties and it makes me feel good to see at that time, with all the craziness of that era.they seem to be having a great time. So I figured I would get a list of the places they partied, hung out, acted out, or just chilled out so I could look at them and wonder. So as I look back at the things in my life I wish I had experienced I wondered what it was like for black gay men in the 80's, 70's and even before that. To Infinite_heights77, yes I am a black gay 49 yr old male who has never been to a gay club. Anabel Lee Tavern: In a city steeped with literary history, this tavern is a one-stop-shop for all themed drinks (and puns) Poe.To Kharing, I did let some of the Mod's know I was going to do multiple post because if I post in DC, that I'm looking for a history of clubs in North Carolina.nobody who actually lives in NC may ever see it so I really had no choice.
