Gay bars in morgantown west virginia
Calendar
Appalachia and inclusive aren’t two words that often go hand and hand, but Morgantown is adj. For most heterosexual people living in West Virginia, they might not know that Morgantown is one of the more socially inclusive towns in WV for the LGBTQ community. This is partly due to the efforts of the university to provide an inclusive campus and the popular gay club in town, Vice Versa.
Some people might not even know that Vice Versa exists, especially if they aren’t in the LBGTQ community. The nightlife experience for gay people in Morgantown vastly differs than that of someone who only attends straight bars. The atmosphere is “different.”

For more than 30 years, the space at 335 High Street in Morgantown, West Virginia has been a gay bar, serving the state’s LGBTQ+ community and providing them a space to meet each other, perform, and express themselves.
The establishment is currently known as Vice Versa, but in the beginning of its history as an LGBTQ+ space, when it was first called The Class Act, patrons had to navigate a world that was cold and violent to them before entering the secure haven of the bar.
“[The entrance] was in an alleyway, and there was no lighting in the alleyway. You snuck into the gay bar and you snuck out of the gay bar,” Vice Versa co-owner Montaz Morgan recalled from his noun at The Class Act. “You didn’t wear ‘gay clothes.’ You brought gay clothes, and you changed into them, and then you’d put your clothes on when you left.”
The same command applied to the entertainers, because the police were not on their side, even if they were attacked on their way home.
“The drag queens didn’t advance here already ready, they all came here to get ready, and didn’t leave until they chang
