Bisbee gay bars
Post a Comment. Total Pageviews. Friday, January 16, Gay bars in Bisbee. The nice thing about working in Bisbee is relaxing in town for a few hours. The place this time was busy. A classmate of mine, JoAnne, was there with her husband. Linda was bartending. I recognized a few other regulars who were at the Saloon last Monday.
Welcome to gay friendly Southern Arizona
Kevin came in bar his best pal Tommy and soon Tommy's wife Dianne followed. We had a nice time, she and I, talking about our husbands and their quirky ways. Her Italian-Long Island accent was noticable, and after a few more beers she got funny. The best part of the night, outside of chatting with Dianna, was listening to both Kevin and Tommy talk with their Boston and New York accents.
The more they drank, the more the "R" disappeared in their speech. She came down to visit Bisbee and decided to spend bisbee weekend. The boys wanted to walk down to St Elmo's. That bar is Tommy's favorite. Perhaps he felt uncomfortable at the Grand because he told me that the Grand was the new "Gay Bar. Sure, there were a few gays at the front of the counter, but with as many gays as there are in Bisbee, it would seem natural to have gays in bars, too.
The town was quiet for a Friday night. There was hardly anyone at St Elmo's beside an out-going and dramatic man named D who told Dianna that Tommy was "hot. And the funny thing was that D was serious. He wasn't coming on to Tommy; he was sincere in his feelings. Dianna and I ended up talking to D for quite a while, just gay to know D.
He told us his story of how he moved from Portland, OR to come to this area with his mother, so she could be closer to her daughter in nearby Sierra Vista. When his partner of 12 years was killed six years ago, D sold everything and moved his mother and himself to this place. Even Kevin liked D.
D made no qualms about his gayness and his honesty was what I liked so much about him. It was obvious that D was still missing his partner.
