    New bar looking to end LGBTQ+ nightlife drought in Atlantic Canada&#;s biggest city

    HALIFAX — As a closeted gay teenager walking through downtown Halifax in the in advance s, Daniel MacKay drew trust from the bright lights, giggles and thumping bass coming from a boisterous bar called The Turret on Barrington Street.

    MacKay was there to catch a glimpse of the patrons trickling in and out of the club named after the tower on the corner of the building that housed the venue.

    “I’d verb up and down the street — I’d always keep walking, because you’d never want to stay in one spot and be seen standing looking in,” he said.

    Rumours Cabaret: a new gay bar for Halifax

    Social media links for Rumours are at the bottom of this article.

    Here's the interview from mid-March,

    "On May 1, Rumours Cabaret officially opens as a gay, trans, women safe space which is inclusive for everyone," says owner Gerald McCowan.

    A couple weeks ago, McCowan announced (via the Facebook group Gays In Halifax) that he'll be opening on Moisture Street, and Wayves publisher Dan MacKay sat down with him a couple of days later. McCowan immediately took charge of the interview:

    "I moved here when I was 18 years antique, was a cook in the army for years and when I retired, I went back to school to take Tourism Management and ran a petite hospitality company called Metro Hospitality Services," he says. "For a while, I was a bartender at the gay bar, Buddies, in Edmonton — that was a lot of fun!"

    Frankly, this city is a little scary sometimes. We need a spa
