Manchester nh gay night clubs
Ever since the former mayor of the South Bend, Indiana Pete Buttigieg announced his candidacy for president a little more than a year ago, Breezeway Pub, a gay bar and restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire, has become even more a place for political debate. Naturally, this has been good for business. But aside from selecting a candidate, he said the number one issue for owners of gay bars in New Hampshire is security.
The shooting in a gay nightclub in Orlando that killed 49 people in and more recent attacks on LGBTQ club in recent years led him to increase security. Stevens is not the only gay bar owner in Manchester who feels this way. After the Orlando attack, both bars hired two doormen and updated the security system with an emergency button that can notify to police if needed.
Stevens, who has owned the manchester for 15 years, said that people should be concerned and vigilant at all times. Stevens was born into a Republican family and supported Donald Trump in the last election, thinking that Trump would lessen taxes on small businesses and the middle class.
Democratic candidate Elizabeth Warren appeals to Stevens, who said Bernie Sanders is too far left for him. Meanwhile, fellow bar owner Sweet is a supporter of Pete Buttigieg. He said that he likes former mayor because he wants to continue Medicare and lower prescription drugs for all and because he also supports the Federal Equality Act.
On the policies of Donald Trump, Sweet said that Trump is putting America first even if he has to step on any other country to do it. Sweet said he has some Gay Conservative friends who support Trump. He mentioned that his business has never been affected by anyone and he never felt that night has never been any discrimination towards the gay.
However, Michael Bernard, a transgender manager of the Element Lounge bar, thinks differently. When will people accept it? On the other side of the block, Stevens is welcoming Buttigieg supporters which include a mixed crowd of gay, lesbian, cross-dresser and straight. He is smiling and posing when someone is asking for photos.

Yet Trump tells the story many Americans want to hear. Candidates say NH needs to double minimum wage, but economists have mixed thoughts. Confused by Iowa and unsure about who is electable, some New Hampshire Democratic voters are pouring water on the first-in-the-nation primary. As the parties grow apart, their economic outlook does, too.
