As we approach the first anniversary of the Pulse nightclub tragedy in Orlando, Out at the Archives will take a look at the important place gay bars have had in the LGBTQ community. Before there were Centers, Prides or coming out groups, there were the bars--they filled all of the functions and as rallying points and meeting sites for many of the institutions we now take for granted.
A panel of bar owners and managers will talk about their part in our history. The panel will be moderated by Big Mike Phillips, a local activist who has worked in many of San Diego's bars and used his role to organize many fundraisers and community events.
Hosted by RICH'S San Diego - 1051 University Ave.
