If you're not on Facebook:
You may have heard rumors and I'm horrified to say it is true. If we as a community don't stop it, the Eagle Tavern in San Francisco will be closing at the end of April (yes, the end of this month)!
This is a call to all who have been a part of the Eagle community over the years, whether you have only been once or are a regular at SOMA's largest and most unique gay bar. The Eagle Tavern is one of the last alt, leather, punk, work...ing class gay bars in the city and we're getting together to make sure it won't go away without a fight!
Let's be clear: the Eagle Tavern is not closing because of financial difficulties. This is PROPERTY OWNER BULLSHIT. The property owner refuses to sign a long-term lease of the space to the Eagle, saying he doesn't want it there any more. He'd rather see condos or a straight bar. So he gave the Eagle Tavern only a month notice to vacate.
I'm certainly not bending over so our community can be fucked once again by some homophobic building owner!
We will be discussing strategies for fighting the Eagle's closure, as well as the ongoing crisis of loss of gay property ownership in San Francisco and the continuing erosion of our iconic gay bar scene.
To stop this, we have to rally as a community. If we come together, our collective voice will be heard! Join us Monday night to add your energy to the movement to SAVE THE EAGLE!
Meeting is tonight, Eagle, 7-10 pm
