Milk is the first public homosexual to be elected to public office in California or San Francisco. 'The name was inspired by Harvey Milk, an American politician and activist who fought for the rights of gays.

Enter Milk, opening this Saturday in Dubrovnik at 8 pm, with an offer that will be more diverse than other bars in the city.

This is a fantastic song that Def Leppard released on their album Hysteria in 1987. True to the song’s celebratory subject matter - Tucker explained it as celebrating “the incredible spectrum of characters dressed to impress at your average regional queer watering hole. The best song requests to put into any piano bar, jukebox, DJ or whatever. Nearly one year after we first learned of Rosie Tucker and the artist has returned, releasing a stirring single titled “Gay Bar.” The track - which appears on the upcoming Never Not Never Not Never Not out 3/8 on New Professor - is thick and fuzzy, with Tucker’s husky soprano again taking off in the most unexpected and intricate ways.
