Proud and Out

College is supposed to be a time to meet new friends and explore new social situations. So it sucks that Lawrence can't seem to support a gay club. "There's been clubs that have come and gone in the past but nothing that seems to last more than six months," says Stefan Vogler, a University of Kansas senior. "So it's nice to have a night where you can have a gathering of gay people in that sort of setting."Hence, Pride Night — a weekly queer-friendly party at The Granada (1020 Massachusetts, 785-842-1390), which satisfies all the usual gay-club needs while offering $2 well drinks. Once a month, the KU group Queers and Allies (for which Vogler is treasurer) co-sponsors the Wednesday night event and provides a theme. Tonight isn't a theme night, but that doesn't lessen the fun. The club's doors open at 8 p.m. to anyone age 18 and older. Admission is $5. the Granada Theater
