Another section of the site hosts brief histories of some of the sites on the chart, written by Gonzaba and CSUF graduate students. Here, users can learn the heartbreaking reason behind the disappearance of the Upstairs Lounge: On the evening of June 24, , an arsonist set fire to the building while dozens of patrons were gathered inside enjoying Sunday drink specials. Thirty-two people died as a fallout of the energy. The attack was the deadliest acknowledged attack on a gay club until the  Pulse shooting in Orlando, Florida.

In June of last year, Twitter user kikosdreamworld tweeted one easy, devastating fact:

“every gay girl wants a green velvet couch.”

I was shook because I, a male lover woman, was currently hunting for a new couch and my top choices were emerald verdant and olive green. I was in a perpetual state of saving up for the couch and then running into financial emergencies that took those funds away for, arguably, more crucial things.

Perhaps I wasn’t ready for the gay green couch. I polled my close friends on Instagram to help me locate a couch that would fit a new rug I got for free from a hang out. Yes, they brought the rug on the date. Yes, I also got a new pair of shoes from this person. That’s lesbian dating.

The evolution to the six-colored flag used today happened out of practicality. 

After the parade in , request for the Pride Flag increased, but the boiling pink fabric was complex to find in massive quantities. Then, the Paramount Flag Company started making a version out of the standard rainbow colors to help meet ask for, and a seven-color lgbtq+ fest flag was the fresh norm.
