Requires
A phone, computer, or similar device. You also need a browser, working eyes and / or ears, a mouse or working track pad, and working hands.
Alternatives
I have found that Wikipedia, Boston By Foot, Northeastern University, and Tessa Bahoosh's "Mapping Boston's Former Gay Bars" have some similar information, although none of them compile it in the way that this project does.
Get Started
Basic knowledge of what the LGBTQ+ community is.
Accessibility
Well organized, easy to read, and it seems to be colorblind friendly.
