The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is supporting a request to landmark the gay-owned Eagle bar in the city's South of Market district.
The supervisors unanimously voted 11-0 Tuesday to back District 6 Supervisor Matt Haney's resolution initiating the process to designate the Eagle as a city landmark.
It would be the third gay bar location in San Francisco given such status if approved, and the first LGBTQ city landmark located in SOMA and related to queer leather culture.
The city's historic preservation commission now has 90 days to take up the matter. Following its decision, the supervisors would need to vote on officially designating the bar at 398 12th Street a local landmark.
