mr black is one of the few gay venues in NYC where my girlfriends and I have felt the most welcome by the boys and the friendly staff. I really hope they reopen. Ive never seen anything illegal going on there. I think the police just needed a fix of the television DRAMA they had hoped their jobs would be when they recruited. Free Black! xx

re: glynnmcwilliams – If "loads of gay bars" is a response to my comment, you missed my point. I grew up, and still live in Manhattan. I didn't say there was a lack of gay bars (which there are plenty of) – I said "nearly no gay DANCE venues" – which has nothing to do with the number of gay bars.

I'd just be curious to know the percentage of gay bars/clubs compared to the percentage of straight establishments that get busted/raided both historically and recently. Annoying. There are nearly no gay dance venues in NYC anymore. Do we call this 'progress' in the 'new gay friendly society'? hmmm.

you should be more carefull about your facts- or lack therof!! None of the staff were charged with anything at mr.BLACK….in fact the whole thing was a waste of everones time and money and you guys should be embarrased for sensationalizing it.
