Eastern Iowans, Ely documentary director show old facets of gay Iowa life in “The Last American Gay Bar”
DES MOINES — Growing up in Dubuque, Gary Moore never heard the word “gay.”
He’d heard slurs. He’d heard “homosexual.” But in a city where the parochial schools were more prominent than the public schools, people like him weren’t talked about in nice ways — if at all.
“You try to educate yourself. You go to the public library and strive to find information. There was nothing there,” he said, reliving his upbringing in the 1950s and ‘60s, before the Stonewall riots of 1969.
The most he found was in the “Encyclopedia of Sex,” left out by his parents when he was a teenager, which offered only one small paragraph on a condition still considered a psychiatric diagnosis at that time.
“ (It said) you were mentally ill, and as I remember, it said you were most likely going to commit suicide by the time you were in your middle 30s,” Moore said. “So the only words you really had to explain yourself … were ‘faggot’ and ‘queer.’ ”
So as a young ad
A viewing party at a bar is an everyday occurrence, but what about if the bar itself is the subject of said viewing party? That’s exactly what has been happening every Wednesday of this month at the Blazing Saddle in Des Moines.
Opening in 1983, the Blazing Saddle is the oldest gay bar in Des Moines and the subject of The Last American Gay Bar, a six-episode streaming series on OUTtv. (You can also watch on Apple TV+ and the Roku Channel.)
In addition to covering this legendary LGBTQ+ landmark, the crew behind the undertaking carries Iowan bona-fides, as it was made by an entirely local crew and showrunner/director Kristian Night grew up in eastern Iowa.
The synopsis for the series says it follows “…the rise and collapse of gay bars in middle America. As acceptance of LGBTQ+ has grown, the role that lgbtq+ bars have played in the culture has diminished. Does the community still need these safe havens in order to survive?”
Perhaps the fact that there is a communal viewing party for the series itself helps to acknowledge that question? Either way, there is still hour to get caught up on the series and head over to the Blazing Saddle the next three Wednesdays at
