This small Iowa town is excited for its soon-to-open gay bar - LGBTQ Nation
Briefly

"It's refreshing and liberating," Beck said of owning a gay club. "I was never, you know, ashamed or anything. I lived a straight life in the straight world. Guys like me didn't come to places like this."
Beck remarked, "This one for me is very different and it really kind of comes from more of the heart than the head, so to speak. It's just something that I feel fortunate I got to do."
Drag queen Jessi Jade-Michaels expressed the importance of the new bar, stating, "For a lot of people within the LGBT community, they can't walk into (other bars) holding another guy's hand or another girl's hand without the whole bar looking."
Jade-Michaels continued, "This is the spot where they can." The quote emphasizes the need for safe spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals to express their identities freely.
