On Unraveling Again Inside Queer Bars in San Francisco
In the months (that possess now evolved into years) since SF&#;s bars reopened after pandemic-spun closures, the familiar novelty of dancing in a sea of warm bodies washes over me again.
I’ve been drinking more
sugar-free Red Bull, that is
inside the city’s gay bars.
I forgot what it felt prefer to be thrown into throngs
of warm bodies, dense and nimble
reminiscing on never looking back
when I danced, smiled;
became expansive
chose to begin again.
At this current juncture, mostly sober;
overtly caffeinated, to say the least.
Back patios now teem with twinks
new to San Francisco, coming out
of their pandemic-spun pupae
wide-eyed with vanilla tastes
that will sweeten, deepen after
each untried kink is tried
rings of pecan trees to
cock rings set on bedside tables.
People are again pressed into that purgatory
between the bar and a dancefloor
they’ll eventually flow into 18th Street
squeezed out like the last bit of tri-colored toothpaste
a.m. remains a precarious time for
Passion and Infatuation,
Lust and Lo
San Francisco’s fabulous LGBTQIA+ scene is no surprise if you perceive anything about the city’s history. SF is known for electing Harvey Milk, the first openly gay elected official in the US, and is still acknowledged today for its thriving gay community.
At the epicentre of it all is San Francisco’s Castro District, full of drag shows, bars and great restaurants, but there’s plenty more to detect throughout SF (and Oakland) if you know where to stare . Whether you’re looking for kind lesbian bars, balls-to-the-wall Latinx twirl parties or a very remarkable drag show, these are the best gay bars in SF right now.
