Gay Bathhouses Making A Comeback

I was only a kid at the time, but I do actually remember hearing people talk about gay bathhouses closing during the AIDS crisis. And of course the older I got and the more I learned about gay culture I continued to hear about bathhouses. But for me and millions of other gay men like me gay bathhouses weren’t a huge part of our lives. And there really aren’t many that survived. Apparently, though, this might be changing. 

“Decades later, with the emergence of PrEP and in light of San Francisco’s reduction in HIV diagnoses to under 200 for the first time since the 1980s, these regulations — including a ban on private rooms and required monitoring of patrons’ sexual activities — have no public health rationale and need to be changed.”

You can read the entire thing in full, here. I also link to a gay bathhouse blog that’s way down on the right sidebar. I’ve been linking to this blog for years and they are still up and running. However, I could be wrong, but I just don’t see gay bathhouses becoming as popular as they once were. I think too many things have changed. 

Trump Says He’d Vote For A Gay Presidential Candidate

When I saw this trending in several places I had to check it out. I’m not getting political and I’m remaining objective. I just thought it was interesting. 

President Donald Trump said he would vote for a gay presidential candidate, a question revived by the success of former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s White House bid.

You know what would be even more interesting? If Pete actually beat the hell out of him in 2020. 

Here’s a link to the rest.
