The deck detroit gay

They had a small dance floor and generally played some great house music. Da joint was live. But def rmembr entwo lil white lawers from royal oak or birmingham some where comin round. A lil arrogent but freak out wit yall in a minute. Called it trottin. Nevr forget dat nite.

Crazy man. Saw in cruise club too. M man there sed same shit. Dud wanted dookie on him. Don't see those yup kids roundin s bit but sometimes I yhink I do. It was not really a "gay bar" it was just gay friendly.

Everyone went there. People used to dive off the stage into the crowd dancing below. I had heard that the reason it closed was because they had too many lawsuits from people with broken bones from this stage diving activity.

This bar was one that epitomized the glorious days of punk in the 80's. Please post your stories about this bar. Please email me photos of this place also! Also check out my other blog at: motorgay.

Laws that regulate public activity are not relevant to private establishments. Anyone who thinks that bathhouse regulation would curb the spread of syphilis need only look at one document to learn otherwise.

Crackdowns merely lead to creation of new places where disease might flourish, he says. Even if bathhouses are relative hotspots for disease transmission, at least they are easily targeted for educational outreach programs. Besides, closing the baths is costly and controversial — most rational politicians would rather get a root canal.

Peterson is creating a program in conjunction with Detroit Health Department officials to set up free on-site STD testing and educational pamphlets to bathhouse patrons.

They have never been into TNT at all. The club has had private, on-site testing available for its members for 20 years. We will not deal with Covey. Covey declined to comment, other than to say that he stood by his comments to Between the Lines.

We walk around the yard of his suburban home, and he tells me about the history of testing programs at TNT, which he has owned a part of since At 50 years old, Daniels is extremely animated.

They want us to come there. Our policy is to offer education and [STD] testing. Body Zone was raided in February Detroit police declined to provide any records on any enforcement actions at TNT or Body Zone by press time. If lots of straight girls were going to a place and having tons of anonymous sex with men who had diseases and going home with diseases, the health department would shut it down in a heartbeat.

And they are getting it from their straight lovers, boyfriends and husbands, some of whom identify as straight but still visit the bathhouses. When you have purple fluffies from East Bay who are getting most of a certain cootie, it tells you to go work with purple fluffies in the East Bay. You work on programs that impact them in language that they understand.

It is hard to put that public health net around it and work specifically that population. Why pay for dinner and a movie when you can go in there and get nine blow jobs and your ass eaten out in a half an hour? Next time your boyfriend comes home from some errands looking freshly steamed, it might be cause for concern.

William J. Woods, a researcher at the Center For AIDS Prevention Studies at University of California-San Francisco, confirms that men claiming to be straight and bi make up a distinct segment of the bathhouse population that defies statistics. Woods was one of the primary authors of the study that looked at public policy as it pertains to the bathhouses, and he has done numerous other bathhouse studies.

How big of a part? I have no idea. I have no data to prove that. They are anthropology questions. Even if the question might be anthropological, Savage comes up with the same answers. It was a way of controlling where and how gay people expressed themselves and how gay people lived. As a public health researcher, Woods tries to communicate something entirely different.

With his long work at the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies, Woods has few peers when it comes to researching and compiling data about bathhouse patrons and their sexual habits. He has published numerous reports about these topics and is preparing a special issue of the Journal of Homosexuality to appear later this year, offering personal essays and research about every angle of bathhouse culture.

To what extent is that not caring about the gay community when the bathhouses are meeting some kind of need of the people who go there, who are the larger majority of people who go there. STD awareness posters and pamphlets are in plain sight, and condoms are readily available. TNT is more elaborate than its rival across town. It has a dry sauna, wet sauna, porn rooms, sundeck, weight room, hot tub and indoor Olympic-sized pool.

The place is almost empty. I wander into the large, cavernous room that holds the indoor pool, and beyond the glassy water two men are having anal sex on the edge of the hot tub. The man in back is wearing a condom. TNT is more brightly lit than Body Zone.

It is a work in progress; some of the bars that I list, I have no real information about what they were like or what kind of clientele they had or pictures. If you know something about an old bar, email me please.
