The Gay Bar Issue: Queer establishments in Jacksonville at risk of closure
The Walrus, one of Jacksonville’s few queer-owned establishments, is among the next bars at risk of closing, according to owner Alexander Eli Michael. According to an Oberlin study, the number of queer bars is declining nationwide, finding that the number of gay bars in the U.S. dropped about 15% between 2019 and spring 2021. This is a large part of a decline of more than 36% between 2007 and 2019, with bars serving LGBTQ+ people of color populations hit hardest, research by Oberlin College professor Greggor Mattson.
