The first sentence did not leave me with a good feeling. :" The first gay bar in Forest Hills, which is slated to open on Austin Street next week, will host weekend brunches featuring loud music, an upbeat atmosphere and possibly hookah, the owner said..."

And they named it "Pride" and threw in the rainbow colors on top of that. I don't know, it's just overkill. As a gay man, I am happy about the bar, but the logo is just a little bit trite.

Even The Castro or Provencetown doesn't have anything this over-the-top and ill-conceived. I guess the owner didn't get the memo about post-gay New York City and how many gay bars have closed recently (Splash, Rawhide, The Web).
