There should be a law against bars being closed on holidays. How is that even possible? Of all the days of the year for the bars in my neighborhood to be closed they pick Thanksgiving! I think that is insanity!! After running errands, cooking all day and dealing with family drama, a nightcap at your local pub is a requirement!! But no, nothing was open in my neighborhood. I qualify by saying ‘my neighborhood’ because I know for a fact that the gay bars in boystown were DEFINITELY open! As a matter of fact, the last time I went to boystown after spending all that joyous time with the family the bars were practically bursting at the seems!! But I was quite tired last night and didn’t want to venture that far. Now you can not tell me that straight folks are more adjusted when visiting their family than the gays! Nope, in my family everyone is fair game. The gay bars definitely have it right. Stay open on the big holiday. If the bars need to be closed they should pick something like Pulaski Day or President’s Day.
