Art to make you think and use your own brain. A lost talent for newer generations... Groundbreaking queer artists step up to reinvigorate an ode to LGBTQ history.
Matt Skallerud's insight:
In 1979, on the tenth anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, New York City commissioned artist George Segal to create a monument to gay liberation. The resulting four statues, made up of two same-sex couples, were done in his traditional, solemn style of white plaster cast in bronze. They were so controversial that despite being completed in 1980, they weren’t installed in their permanent home on Christopher Street until 1992.

Light rail doesn’t yet reach Woodinville so wineries are, more and more, coming to the cities where their growing base of customers live. Capitol Hill real estate is, so far, too expensive for anybody to try to make their wine on Broadway but we have a start.
Matt Skallerud's insight:
The tasting room from Hilbert, who also works in real estate, and Oh, a lawyer, is just a block from Broadway in a space that was originally intended to be an office set-up in a live/work loft but has grown into an intimate and affordable place to build their dream business.

The Woodward Bar and Grill Still a Safe Space for LGBT People - In the heart of Midtown is the Woodward Bar and Grill, the most popular gay bar in Detroit as early as 1960. While there weren't a lot of choices at the time, this establishment was the place of choice for most LGBT people, and for many still is.

With an air of celebration, Stonewall Warehouse opened its doors as San Marcos’ first-ever gay bar in late 2014, the same year the city was painted with the colors of the rainbow for its very first pride parade.
Matt Skallerud's insight:
For many, the bar is a symbol of social progress in Hays County, previously a severely underserved area in terms of LGBT-specific gathering places, said Stonewall General Manager Chris Rue. But after an attack on a local drag performer last month and amid concerns of what a Trump administration might represent for LGBT rights, Stonewall is also becoming the cornerstone of a budding support and safety network for the local LGBT community.

Punk, New Wave and experimental rock in '70s and '80s gay San Francisco
Matt Skallerud's insight:
Rock and roll was tied up in my concept of what San Francisco was even before I moved here. The impact of the Summer of Love and groups like the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane were felt around the world. But when I first visited in 1978, punk and New Wave were the dominant forces.

Why the group started a decade ago, why it disbanded -- and why it’s needed again.
Matt Skallerud's insight:
It’s hard to believe how much local LGBTQ nightlife has changed in just 10 years. For most people, being on social media a decade ago meant updating your MySpace profile, song and video on a regular basis. Blackberrys, Sidekicks and RAZRs were the only smartphones we knew. With the iPhone still yet to be released, there were no mobile dating apps: no Grindr, no Scruff, no Tindr. Any online cruising had to be done at home — at the expense of going out – and the pickings were slim. Incredibly, Milwaukee had 23 gay and lesbian bars at the time. Although landmarks like M&M Club and Club 219 had recently closed, new gay bars were opening, including Kruz, Wherehouse, Pumphouse, Club Purr and City Lights. In retrospect, 2007 was really the last great LGBTQ nightlife boom. After decades of crossover business, straight customers usually felt comfortable in gay and lesbian bars, but the same wasn’t really true in reverse.

Christopher Street is legendary. With a storied -- and sometimes sordid -- history, those few blocks between Seventh Avenue and the Christopher Street Pier are synonymous with old gay New York.
Matt Skallerud's insight:
A short stretch in New York's West Village, this was typically the first stop for gay transplants and the newly out; the runaways and the abandoned. The intersection at Hudson Street, renamed Sylvia Rivera Way after the famed transgender civil rights activist in 2005, is the heart of Christopher Street and the birthplace of the modern LGBT rights movement.

I think this is a big thing for indie artists in general. This shows the up and coming artist, that they too can do something big without a label.
