Tonight at the Eagle over 200 people came out to support the saving of the Eagle as a Queer space. There were many ideas shared and testimonies heard from members of our community as to why the Eagle has meant so much to them.
The offices of Scott Wiener and Jane Kim were represented and Bevan Dufty was on hand as well. Scott has arranged for us to have a press conference at 1 before we go to present our testimony at the Board of Supervisors at 2 pm.
We really hope as many of you come out as possible!
We also marched to the Skylark bar on 16th where 80 Queers took over the bar chanting "Hell NO we won't let the Eagle go!" The Skylark bar is the one trying to displace the Eagle as a space for Queers by buying the lease.
Although there is no evidence that this can or can't be stopped we have made great headway in keeping the Eagle Tavern from going the way of so many Queer spaces in San Francisco.
We have some political backing and lots of momentum and it is our belief that we can and will save the Eagle for future generations of Queers.
Thanks so much to our community for standing together and possibly changing the shape of our future in San Franciso
