Considering all that others of the past have had to let go of, it seems sort of normal.

There was the Eagle and the Spike and no end of other bars before The Rawhide opened.<br /><br />It was hardly an act of rebellion to walk into a gay leather bar in 1979. There's been an extraordinary amount of revisionist thinking that says that gay life was closeted and underground in NY in the 1970's. Not so. We were everywhere!<br /><br />I won't discuss the portion of this interview that says the bar kept the drug dealers at bay.
