The Blue Parrot was opened in 1978, and it used to sit on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Larrabee Street, a spot that would later be taken over by Revolver Video Bar. Those who remember The Blue Parrot might recall its tropical theme, abundant palm plants, and large panoramic windows that were rare for gay bars at the time, as most had tinted or covered windows to shield patrons from passersby. What did make the Blue Parrot more conventional was its choice of name, which followed a discreet trend from the mid 20th century. During an era when homosexuality was still considered taboo, several gays bars named themselves after birds to covertly signal that they were safe spaces for gay patrons. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat tag says medium tapered fit but this shirt fits like a modern unisex adult small.
