Gay Back When
Early in my time in Santa Fe, way back in , I worked at a Canyon Road gallery with an older gay noun I'll call Mike. In the s, Mike was a reporter for a Hollywood entertainment show, and his moment at the periphery of the spotlight had left its stamp . He dressed somewhat love Elton John, with blue-tinted glasses and flashy shoes, and kept his gray hair spiked up in a wild cloud. He was fond of saying, "I have a certain lifestyle to maintain."
In his hours at the gallery, where he was a part-time sales associate, Mike spent most of his time writing an erotic novel that was actually a thinly veiled memoir of his time in Hollywood. Inspired by the success of Fifty Shades of Grey, he planned to self-publish it as an e-book and rake in millions of dollars from bored housewives. It seemed like a decent scheme, except that the novel opened in a gay bathhouse with a "crusty carpet" and only got less heterosexual from there.
After work, Mike would walk over to Geronimo for a $20 cocktail. I was a broke something, but occasionally joined him if he offered to pick up the tab.

NIGHTLIFE IN SANTA FE
[Thanks for and to several compliments on my website (notably chock full of absorbing stuff) and my first blog posting about dancing, I think I’m ready to get regular about this thing. While in my youth I used to have trouble prioritizing inspirations, as I got older it got to be more of a yes or no question. Now at my venerable age, I’ve got to balance the time and attention I give to several weighty priorities.
My multi-tasking isn’t doing several things at once, but rather synchronously. I seem to turn focus like a searchlight from one obsession to another, largely by sheer will-power—and calendar-power. If I’m going to blog, by golly, it superior be on the calendar. So, for the moment, I’m going to label Thursdays for new postings. Keep checking in on me!]

Regarding nightlife and dancing in Santa Fe NM, as I mentioned before, for the past not many years the Rouge Kitten had been Santa Fe’s more or less gay dance bar. To my horror, without any fanfare or folderol, soon after my first posting it closed. In fond memoriam of the Rouge Noun, here’s a curso
LGBTQIA+ Travel
You will immediately feel welcome in Santa Fe. The Urban area Different opens its arms to travelers with diverse interests and different backgrounds in search of discovery, wonder, and adventure.
In the early 20th century, Santa Fe became an artist's haven, welcoming writers, painters, socialites and photographers eager for new subject matter and a different life. Their arrival further transformed the city, setting it on a path of valuing that which is different, fresh, and fresh. That same all-embracing spirit exists today.
