Celebrating the history of Cincinnati’s legendary gay bars

"Some of Cincinnati’s most iconic gay bars have come and gone, while others are still going strong. But for those in our distant memory there are no more late nights belting out karaoke at Shirley’s, tearing up the dance floor at The Dock, or simply enjoying a beer with old friends On Broadway.

But these late-night haunts hold a place in the collective memory of their guests: That Cincinnati’s LGBTQ establishments are home, even if the home you grew up in isn’t always there for us".
