Re: Breaking: Pegasus to Close

I'm not sure it is fair to label me an idiot for my take on the business of gay bars then turn around to say a sexy dance club is suitable for Pgh when clearly the market isn't there. Still, your opinion is your opinion. Something else to keep in mind is that queer people are creating queer spaces that go beyond bars. Many of us don't drink and prefer not to be in smoking environments; that a reflection of changes in society, not just the gay community or political gains. It is only natural that different queer spaces emerge and somewhat understandable that those who identify with the traditional institutions put up some resistance to what is really competition. Every queer person who hangs out at a coffee house, poetry slam or potluck is one less person spending money in the bars. I have no doubt that there will always be a place to cruise. Some institutions are very adaptable.
