    New York's Lost Gay Bars

    New York's Lost Gay Bars

    We've known for many years that too many of our cherished gay bars and clubs are shuttering, falling victim to rising rents and the ubiquity of apps like Grindr and Scruff. After Orlando, we're even more aware of how fragile, and important, these spaces are. There's a walking tour in New York to commemorate beloved gay bars and clubs that have closed down. Here, we present our own digital tour of 12 Gotham sites that once housed laughter and tears, friendship and sex. Which are familiar?
