LATEST, May 20, 6:32 p.m. The Stud, San Francisco's oldest continuously operating LBGT club, will close permanently due to the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report.

"The Stud is the country's only cooperatively owned LGBT venue and has been in operation for 55 years," according to a statement released by co-owner Honey Mahogany and obtained by the Bay Area Reporter. "Because of a lack of revenue due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the historic bar will be announcing that they are permanently closing their location and will be holding a drag funeral to honor the end of an era of LGBT nightlife."

The iconic establishment, which opened in 1966, is the latest victim of the pandemic that has ravaged the Bay Area business landscape.
