Brooklyn is a place where many people hang out to shop while, many out of state residetns move to famous borough and one of many spots they chose to hang out at is the Starlight Lounge, a Gay-friendly Bar in the Bed-Sty section of Brooklym that's in danger of being taken away.
It turns out that new owners a realtor named Mr. Khaled Yafai of Century 21 Mizrahi Realty had purchased the property without notifying the bar's owners Denis Parrot and Linda King, nor were they given an opportunity to renew the lease.
Now he wants them to be out by May which has many Gay activists and residents of Brooklyn pissed off. Starlight is the oldest Black-owned established that provided a place for many people to have a good time as well as provide a safe-haven for many in Brooklyn, who enjoyed being in a non-judgement enviorment. It also provided safety for many of the Gays who frequent the bar and for them to remove this landmark is totally disrespectful.
It's bad enough that Mr. Yafai didn't have the professional and decently to contact the married couple, but to try to use excuses like the bar needs to be remodeled is totally in excusable and he needs to work out a plan to have the bar stay in existance.
I'm urging all to write and fax him
