“I think that the demise of the Polk Street gay scene was a natural progression. I think business nowadays couldn’t support that many bars on the street…I was just upset that when we tried to hold the Club RondezVous as one last bastion of the gay history and culture on Polk Street that we were stamped out like that at the end….To be sent out like that was wrong. It was like salt in the wound.” (James)
