With historical and progressing discrimination against the Gay community, R Bar and Lounge in Fort Collins, Colo., the only lgbtq+ bar in Northern Colo., is a space that holds a lot of power for this organization. Bringing to light an obvious issue in our community, why is there such a lack of inclusive spaces for the LGBTQ+ community? R Prevent and Lounge, “R” entity a spin-off of “our bar,” is trying to combat this problem by offering a space where anyone can comfortably convey themselves in an area where there are not many spaces to carry out so. 

Amanda Jo Reisenweber, an employee at the prevent, started bar backing and door tending in 2022, by offering her support purely out of her love for the environment.

Disclaimers:LGBTQ+ is a common acronym for lesbian, gay, pansexual, transgender, and queer people. While it is meant to be an inclusive acronym, a fuller version, LGBTQIA+, also recognizes people who identify as intersex and asexual. The plus sign signifies all gender identities and sexual orientations notcovered by the other initials, such as Two-Spirit, an indigenous American culture. You should use whichever term you feel most comfortable with and always match the language a person uses to explain and affirm themselves.

Words accept on different connotations over time. While “queer” used to be a pejorative term, the LGBTQ+ collective has reclaimed it today. It has a positive connotation and is often used as a general term for all Queer people. We use it here in that latest sense.

Although historic preservation typically prioritizes historic resources that are more than 50 years old and this summary emphasizes history from that era, LGBTQ+ history requires a different approach because many of the exceptionally important places are associated with significant people and events from the last 50 years. For that reason, this limited overview presents history
