Gay Omaha

------------------------------------- 

Bordered by the Missouri River and the Platte River, Omaha Nebraska has many beautiful waterfront parks. Boasting the country’s largest urban arts colony, the town has the nation's largest community playhouse, the third largest children's theater, an opera, a symphony, and a major art museum. Council Bluffs, part of the metropolitan area, is just across the Missouri River in Iowa.

With more than 1million people living within a 50-mile radius, it’s no surprise Omaha has a sizable gay society. It shows its true colors for Heartland Pride Sunlight every June, in Omaha.

This thread is for discussion about what an Omaha Gay Village might need, ie territory for commercial, office and residential. I don't think Omaha needs anymore homosexual bars. I ponder it be pleasant to see some restaurants in a gay district. Someone once suggested Hamburger Mary's to me. Ever heard of it? They said it was a gay owned business, and I comprehend some lesbians with kids. I ponder it would be nice if they had a place to take their family and especially kids that caters to their needs, since Nebraska goes out of its way to discount gay families.

Any other suggestions?

As I exit my vehicle, I notice the outside of the bar is not attracting much attention. The letters “HAUS” withstand above the front entrance, and subtle streaks of neon blue and purple flash through the front windows. When I amble up to the front door, I can finally see that the block is much bigger than it appears from the outside, stretching deep into the building. There’s cozy but worn leather furniture to the right of the front door. Behind the furniture, there’s a raised platform with a couple more leather couches and a projector screen. To the left, a couple bartenders work to serve the handful of patrons already crowding the long bar at 10:15 PM.

The attractive man taking cover charges is brusque, motioning for me to quickly pull down my mask and hand over the $10 cover. He places a neon yellow wristband on me, hands over my change, and already begins looking to the few people in line behind me. I walk over to the worn black couches in the waiting area to wait for my friends to join me for tonight’s drag show, “Purple Reign,” a tribute to Prince.

Before attending this demonstrate , I had done a bit of research about Das Haus. Meaning “the house” in German, Das Haus opened in
