Stonewall gay club san marcos

Miss-Malibu Imported, a drag performer from San Marcos who often performed at Stonewall, reiterated this sentiment. A place that brought chosen families together and kept queer culture safe in Hays County. Even as the staff and former patrons of the bar mourn its loss, they are already looking for answers to the question of What comes next?

Former owner Jamie Frailicks, who has drawn fire from the community for the way in which Stonewall closed, said that he has been in talks with people who are interested in carrying on the Stonewall legacy. Someone will pick up the slack. When that happens, I will be the first to step up and cheer. Frailicks explained his reasoning for closing Stonewall in a statement he issued online at the beginning of the week.

After months and months of deliberating and negotiations, I ultimately made a decision that was in the best interest of my family and the future of my career and that was to sell Stonewall Warehouse.

Miss Malibu-Imported also expressed disappointment at not getting a chance for closure. I operated on a daily basis as if there was always a tomorrow. I stand by my decision to protect everyone, to do it responsibly, to make sure the staff, the property, and everything are safe. Knowing that a lot of them are tipped employees, they get basically an average of what they got for the last two weeks.

My GM was handed cash on Sunday. In the meantime, the community has responded by offering support in the form of donations on the GoFundMe page. I hope that San Marcos gets another space for these kids that have nowhere to go. Going forward, members of the community are now reflecting on a course of action to provide that safe space for people within the LGBTQ community.

Recognizing that this is an underrepresented community, and we want to help them succeed, maybe we should have a community roundtable to talk about this? Views: Click to see more.
