Redline, one of the few queer venues of downtown Los Angeles, joins the ranks of LGBTQ venues nationwide fighting for survival during the COVID-19 pandemic.Dominic Alpuche, brother of owner Oliver Alpuche, launched a GoFundMe campaign January 6 in hopes of raising enough donations to keep Redline afloat.“Redline opened on July 14th 2015 alongside Precinct and Bar Mattachine that same year, joining the long-standing New Jalisco Bar creating a larger queer safe haven in DTLA,” Alpuche writes on the fundraising page. “We already lost Bar Mattachine in 2018 and now we are in jeopardy of losing Redline.
Please help us save Redline. It is not just to save a bar, but a venue that has been home to many of us, from aspiring drag performers to.
