One night, I was sitting at the Leather Stallion, a gay bar in Cleveland, and couldn't help but notice something missing. "Where are all the women?" I asked one of the other guys at the bar. "Women?" he said, and thought for a moment. "They come in spurts." On this night, though, there were none in sight, and the energy was overwhelmingly masculine — just like at most of the other gay bars I knew.

The center will still offer outreach, education and training programs, as well as new programs taking advantage of more space and amenities like a state-of-the-art kitchen.
