    A Place at the Table Some snapshots of the Oregon LGBTQ movement’s history By George T. Nicola Last updated 11-16-2017 By the LGBTQ movement, we mean the movement that advocates that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) persons be treated equally and with the same dignity as heterosexual and cisgender people. This includes non- discrimination and non-bias based on sexual orientation and gender identity. A Place at the Table ● A GLAPN 11/16/2017 1 Presentation By the mid 1960s, the City of Portland had abandoned its efforts to close all the gay bars in the city limits. The bars were not well identified, but gay men and lesbians who could locate them felt relatively secure within their walls. Darcelle XV Showplace in Still, given the hostility of the city government, those who downtown Northwest Portland opened gay bars were very courageous. One of those people, Walter Cole, bought a bar in Old Town, Northwest Downtown in 1967 and welcomed a mixed but primarily lesbian clientele. The bar was originally named Demas Tavern, but changed its name to Darcelle XV Showplace for Walter Cole on the right, with Walter’s drag persona. It became famous for its elaborate his life partner, the late Roxy Neuhart drag shows and remains open today as Oregon’s oldest gay bar. In addition to being iconic, the club has raised large amounts of money for local LGBTQ causes. In 2016, Guinness World Records listed Darcelle as the “oldest drag queen performer”.
