The bathhouse in question was the Everard Baths where about 80 to 100 men were walking the halls on Wednesday, May 25, 1977. <\/p>\n<p>Then a fire broke out on that early morning. When the fire department arrived on scene at about 7 AM, nine men where still trapped inside. Windows were blocked up and there were no fire escapes. These nine men would not make it out alive. <\/p>\n<p>Doree Shafrir of BuzzFeed has written an article about the fire and the aftermath entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/doree\/the-gay-bathhouse-fire-of-1977\" target=\"_blank\"><b><u>The Gay Bathhouse Fire Of 1977<\/a><\/b><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Doree writes<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In 1977, the fire at the Everard Baths was a reminder that there was no such thing as real safety \u2014 which felt all too familiar last weekend. The world has changed a lot since 1977, but the need for truly safe spaces has not yet been eliminated. There is still, and will always be, a need for safe public spaces for queer people.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What\u2019s changed, and what hasn\u2019t, in the interim. Especially after Orlando, it is really a fascinating piece on how we think we have come a long way in finding safe spaces for the LGBT community. But after Orlando, it seems we still have some work to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Next year will mark the 40th anniversary of The Gay Bathhouse Fire Of 1977.
