Event Details

“San Diego's Gay Bar History” provides a glimpse into the rich history of San Diego's LGBTQIA culture.  Writer/Director Paul Detwiler will host a Q&A following the film.  Since WWII, no less than 135 gay bars have operated in San Diego, and provided sanctuary for LGBTQIA individuals to discover themselves and form community. Join us for the SD Public Library premiere of this soon-to-be classic work in honor of LGBTQ+ History month, and listen to the stories behind your favorite watering holes, as told by local bartenders and historians.
