Historical Context

One moment from history that rhymes with this story — and how it unfolded.

November 1987

LAPD raid on Silver Lake queer bar ONE Way (1987)

Los Angeles police raided ONE Way, a queer bar in Silver Lake, citing overcrowding. Patrons and community leaders said the bar was targeted because of its "edgy" LGBTQ crowd, a dispute that reached local political figures and was covered by the Los Angeles Times.

Then

The raid drew public criticism and a political dispute between city officials over how the bar was treated.

Now

The incident became part of the recorded history of queer nightlife in the Silver Lake area.

Why this matters now

The Best Of license application sits in the same Silver Lake-adjacent neighborhood, a corner with a documented queer bar lineage that includes the 1987 raid.
