Gay in Sarasota

Ah, Sarasota, Florida... it's called the "cultural center" of Florida, and that may be a fair assessment. After all, Sarasota does have a thriving arts and theatre community that includes Asolo Repertory Theatre, Banyon Theatre Co, Florida Studio Theatre, Golden Apple Dinner Theatre, Players Theatre of Sarasota, Ringling School of Art & Design, Sarasota Opera, and The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art. It's a city brimming with cultural diversity. The thing is, shouldn't a cultural center by definition, have more than one gay bar?
