Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Gay life IN Harringay
I am reliably told that there used to be a gay/bi bar in Green Lanes (next to the Salisbury?) in the early eighties. Would a gay bar in Harringay take off again? A friend of mine has money to invest and, with Catch22 in Turnpike Like set to close once the lease runs out, I think it could be a starter. Discuss.

Was it? I think there's some info on the Manor House somewhere, probably in the history group.

I remember the place in Manor House was called the Rainbow Room and was around for a few weeks after I first came to live in London.
On the question of a new venue - that would be great. Personally, I'm a bit to old and jaded for an exclusively gay place but I would mind one where straight people were made to feel welcome too (so long as they behave themselves of course).

Well I never - the Manor House of all places. Went in there in the mid nineties and it was a God-forsaken hole! Sorry to hear about you friend, Stephen. Hope the killer (s) were caught? Have people been homophobically -- is that a word?- attacked in Green Lanes? Would people today feel safe hold hands with a same sex partner?

We've lived on the Ladder since the early eighties as an openly gay couple and (after a bit of initial sniffing) have always been recognised as a couple by our neighbours (initally Greek Cypriot).
Infact the only homophobic incident we've had to deal with was Halloween about three years ago when a charming young woman (about 14) threw an egg at our door after shouting "queers" through the letterbox. I went out and was surrounded by neighbours who were tracking her down the street. I got to her house and her mum and dad were furious with her.
Stephen - I remember hearing about the murder. I'm sorry to hear it was a friend of yours. Did the culprits get caught?
On the holding hands issue - no, I don't feel confortable about it in this area. Maybe it's just me.
