I watched this happen as a grew up. As a young man my city had at least 6-10 unique gay bars. This was a small city and each bar had a unique vibe. Different bars were more popular on certain days or even certain times of the day.

Today 2 remain. One of the two has slowly gentrified and is barely a gay bar anymore.
