Small Town Gay Bar

We watched this documentary by the name of 'Small Town Gay Bar'.

It hits so very close to home.

Without going into a lot of details it basically followed the life of a gay bar in the very small town of Meridian, Mississippi.

I would like to say much hilarity ensued, but that's not the case.

Life is incredibly hard for gay people in small towns. Actually it can be very hard for gay people in any size town.

There is gay bashing, lynching, murder etc. But in the movie there was also some hope. However little they have to hang onto, the gay people there have one bar where they can congregate. It is there they can be themselves. They can relax. They don't have to worry about others.

My own experience is different. But I can say this, there is a reason a gay bar becomes the centerpiece of the gay community. It's the only place people can come together safely.
