TULSA, Okla. — One of 27 lesbian bars in America, Yellow Brick Road was almost no more after the building burned last summer.
Bar owners said the building was a total loss and worked to raise money to rebuild.

In a GoFundMe, the organizer said the bar would reopen, but with no idea how long it would take.
Nearly a year later, the bar announced the good news on Facebook:
With lots of community support, and nearly $9,000 raised through their GoFundMe, Yellow Brick Road will finally be back open to the public starting June 9 at 4 p.m.
The bar is on 15th Street in between Harvard and Lewis.
Yellow Brick Road is a part of the Lesbian Bar Project, which aims at creating more community and spaces for LGBTQ+ folks.
"In the 1980s, there were roughly 200 Lesbian Bars in the United States. Today, there are fewer than 30," the Lesbian Bar Project website reads.
