The gay bar scene is disappearing all over the world. It has been a slow death. But, I think as acceptance of gays has become more common and the ease gays have for meeting other gays (online), the gay bar scene is less relevant. When I first moved to NYC, there was a bar for blacks, a bar for bears, a bar for leather, a bar for twinks, etc. Naturally, I looked very odd in the black bar and the twink bars. LOL But, I did meet some great guys. Oh, and lets not forget the hooker bars. I loved them but they faded out years back as many escorts took to the Internet.
