Cactus gay bar miami

I thought for sure there would be here. I have a few pictures to prove it was!! Thank You, DJ Doug. Thanks for your comment. I have searched for Club Resort and Stonewall Too with no luck. If you can help out with some research I would happily add it to GayWisdom. Hello Doug, I was hanging out at the Club Resort in My friend, Jennifer Raquel, would ask me to escort her into the spotlight for shows in the Stonewall Too, Disco.

I have fond memories of that small disco.

Jesse’s Journal – Miami’s Gay Bar Scene in 1974.

It wasmy 21st miami, I went to the disco. I had sex with the manager that night, first experience. See above post. Contact me at: abaucom21 hotmail. Sometimes the entire workforce at the counter would be gay. Worked the 2 to 10 shift go home change clothes and off to the bars. It was a wonderful time and I will never forget it.

I am now going on 85 and those memories will linger. I lived just off eighth Street on the fifth Terrace and it was tremendously convenient to get in my car and do the bar scene bar work. There will never be another time in any city that compared to those years of gay 70s. Your email address will not be published.

Miami in the 's was a great time to be young and Gay. The legal drinking age was 18, which made cacti very convenient for a young Gay man who was just coming out. A Gay kid had many places to choose from in In fact, there were more Gay watering holes in Miami Beach — and certainly in the Miami mainland — than there are today.

A bar rag, "Where the Action Is" — whose only claim to fame is that one of its contributors was a year old newcomer named Jesse Monteagudo — listed 13 mainland bars and 6 Beach bars. The years between and were also my Gay bar years. Never before or since would I frequent so many pubs or clubs, or as often, as I did back then.

Lack of money did not bother me; since student discounts and the kindness of friends and strangers often helped me get through.
