Thanks to local wealth and global tourism, bars serving the LGBTQ+ community in New York City have increased in number since 2019.

    The LGBT bar in my city was taken over by straight folks. The women left the normal bars because LGBT bars were safer, then the men followed them there. Last time I was at that place, a dude grabbed my chest clearly without consent. It just isnt worth it

      And then they get angry when we tell them we don’t want them there. Like I’m all for women having a safe space, but that doesn’t mean ruining ours.
