In Atlanta, we take pride in the number of gay bars around the city. More than 300 LGBTQ+ bars have played a memorable role in Atlanta’s gay community, past and present. During the pandemic, Art Smith, who describes himself as “a longtime card-holding member of the Atlanta gay community” decided to create an archive of all the gay bars throughout the U.S. and the world. The site is called “Gay Barchives.” Art Smith joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom to talk about his monumental project.

SPECIAL EPISODE : Leslie Jordan

For more than 2 years I have tried to schedule a GayBarchives segment with Leslie Jordan but he was always busy. Now that he's gone it's obvious that will never happen. Fortunately I dug up an interview I did with Leslie at the W Hotel Atlanta - Midtown in 2014.  ENJOY! #gaybarchives #ilovegaybars #lgbthistory #gayATL #gayGA #Hotlanta Find more segments at tv.GayBarchives.com https://video.channel125.com/V85DbxJY
