Gay bars haven't disappeared - they've just gone guerrilla

Robert David Sullivan recently bemoaned the loss of gay bars in Boston. Drinkboston.com counters with an interview with Josh Gerber, co-founder of Boston Guerrilla Queer Bar Boston, a group that gathers once a month at a different "straight" bar to mix things up a bit:
... He intrigued me again when he told me that, on only its third meetup, the group attracted 120 people to the Hong Kong in Harvard Square.

Neither drinkboston.com nor Josh intended to give the impression that Guerrilla Queer Bar - Boston excludes gays 40 and over. Anyone -- younger, older, even straight -- can sign up for announcements for the group's events.
20s, 30s, 40s, girls, guys, everybody
The main demographics happens to be 20-30s, but that's not due to exclusion. GQB works by word of mouth, e-mails, Facebook, etc., and is open to everyone. I've been to two, and the crowd is more diverse in every way (gender, race, age) than any gay bar in town. Mostly 20-30s, but plenty of people 40 and on, including many of my friends.
