April Fools Day!
Ladies first, 1905.
IT IS FROM A SOUVENIR PHOTOGRAPH
HOLDER WITH PHOTO FROM ONE OF THE EARLY BARS OR CABARETS OF
SEATTLE THAT WAS OPEN TO BOTH STRAIGHTS AND THE GAY COMMUNITY.
"THE SPINNING WHEEL" AT 2ND & UNION IN SEATTLE WASHINGTON.
DID A LITTLE CHECKING AND FOUND OUT THAT IN THE 1930'S THERE
WAS THREE NIGHTCLUBS IN SEATTLE THAT THE GAY COMMUNITY COULD
GO TO WITHOUT HASSLE. THEY WERE THE CASINO, THE DOUBLE HEADER
AND THE SPINNING WHEEL. THE SPINNING WHEEL WAS OWN BY STRAIGHTS
BUT WELCOMED GAYS, LESBIANS AND TRANSVESTITES. THEIR CABARET
FEATURE FEMALE IMPERSONATORS.
