WHERE THE BEARS ARE: Episode 14

1. BORING!!! although that guys HAIRY shoulders are a big turn on for me

2. VERY sad!!!!

3. Five minutes of fluff…but fun for me as I’m so familiar with the area as a diehard Angeleno. Sunset Junction, for out of towners, refers to where Santa Monica Blvd. and Sunset Blvd. meet in the area informally known as ‘Silverlake’…a gay enclave within L.A..Some of you may have been to the Eagle L.A. which is here.

   A important historical note: this is where the Black Cat Tavern was located. This gay bar was the site of one of the very first protests against police harrasement. The police raided on New Years 1967 and arrested patrons for kissing and beat patrons here and at the bar across the street. A few days later, PRIDE (Personal Rights in Defense &Education) organized a protest that got minimal press coverage. This was the first time the word ‘pride’ was used in conjunction with a gay protest. The need to inform the members of PRIDE and the interested public gave rise to ” The Advocate” as a newsletter….this became the largest gay publication circulating in the U.S. This was also the largest voice to cover the Stonewall Riots two years later. The Black Cat closed a few years later….a succession of gay bars have been there…finally
   ending with Le Barcito..a gay latino themed bar …that closed last November.

4. I would rather see hot men.
