Gay bars paris marais

Post by Frank Cierpial

In the year , two men were at the right place at the right time. It happened at a bar in “Le Marais”, which is the notorious gay district of Paris. I don’t grasp what sparked it. But on that night, on a tiny dot on the globe, two men fell in love. I had the great pleasure of meeting these two men a little under a year ago at a bar called “Sly Bar”. It is their bar. Their names are Sylvain and Messias and they have been together for six years.

After years of experience in the business world, they decided to make a enormous commitment together; they decided to open a lgbtq+ bar. But, this block is different than other gay bars that I have been to in Paris, Rome, Florence, Montreal, and New York. The difference is impossible to explain, you have to see it and undergo it. The gay collective, due to years of oppression is plagued with superficiality, which till this day, plagues its members. Gay bars have been a place to hire hot waiters who yearn to feel superior to the normal gay, and it becomes more prefer a fashion show than a bar. Not here, SLY Bar is heaven. It is a place where you can include fun, let go, neglect your troubles and appreciate the world.
