Gay bars in fond du lac wisconsin

'This Is It' is Milwaukee’s oldest gay bar

When Michael Anderson moved back to Milwaukee from Atlanta last year, he was blown away by the changes here. The Third Ward was booming with bustle and business but something less energizing had changed about the North Side, too. There were no longer any black gay bars or clubs.

The Ring and Richards location closed in due to lack of adequate parking, management issues and the patrons were concerned about crime. To my knowledge, there is no place for the old black gay folks to play cards all day or go shoot pool, unless they go to Kruz or The Harbor Room.

Black gay guys need their own bar. Anderson was born in Ripley, Tennessee. His parents migrated to Milwaukee around and his dad landed a job at A. Anderson visited Milwaukee regularly over the years because his family lived here, but moved back permanently or semi-permanently last year after his father suffered a stroke.

Anderson is a leather artist who owns a business called MM Leather Studio. He creates a variety of items, from harnesses for the fetish community to high-end purses and jewelry. He also sells his bracelets and necklaces at numerous street festivals and will be vending this summer every weekend at the outdoor urban market in the Third Ward.
