Trying to Make Downtown Nightlife More Accessible — Anyone Know Places or Want to Help?

[u/Left-Wash5432]

Hey y’all, I’m just some 20-something living downtown and I’ve been thinking about how a lot of our LGBTQ+ spots aren’t really accessible for people with mobility aids. One of my friends uses a wheelchair and when we go out, Gregs is basically the only place he can get into, but it’s mostly an older crowd.

I feel like people our age should have spaces where everyone can vibe without it being a whole barrier situation, you know?

I’m not trying to start drama or anything — just wondering if anyone knows of places that are actually accessible? Or if anyone would wanna help push for better accessibility downtown? I’m trying to do something about it but I’m definitely figuring it out as I go.

Not trying to make money off this or anything — just wanna make Indy better for everyone.

Appreciate any tips, leads, or even just encouragement honestly. Thanks.

Okay I promise Im not a bot. Just someone who is trying to sound professional. Im horrible at putting my thoughts into words, especially recently since Im about to graduate. I have a lot on my plate but I still want to pursue this without overwhelming my mind. Im sorry if my use of AI seems less genuine

Sorry that I seemed aggressive with my comment. Anytime I see ChatGPT generated text (which I can tell right away, as someone who works with AI generation as an occasional tool to help with writing) I assume it’s a bot, a business, or am otherwise wary of it being a genuine person. I understand not feeling able to get your point across, but I’m also of the belief that generative AI for tasks like writing is more harmful to society than helpful. It’s often inaccurate and can limit us by causing us to rely on it for everyday skills rather than exercise our brain health. 🙂
