Gay scene in the eraly 90s
1990
Talking about Birmingham over the years, Steve says; “Over the past
twenty years, the commercial gay scene in Birmingham has expanded from
a couple of pubs…there used to be The Village, The Jester and The
Nightingale on Thorp Street…… there was a fairly desolate gay scene.”
Steve
compares the scene as it was then with how it is now. “The gay scene
was nothing like as varied as it is now…it is still fairly limiting
now…in Birmingham, the scene is predominantly alcohol or drug based,
and catering for guys aged between 20 and 40.”
