Hunter Vale is the creator of Queer Circle City — a digital project that highlights queer businesses, organizations and people from years past.But in his free time, Vale runs the Instagram account, focused on preserving and showcasing the history of LGBTQ establishments, movements and people right here in Indy.
“I really hope this exists to highlight the work that other people are doing. I’m really only a middle man. I’m only making it more accessible. There are people doing extensive work and really preserving this in the right way," Vale said.He started the project in 2020, taking photos and profiling current standing gay bars that were shut down during the pandemic.
From the 1960s to the early 2000s, Vale estimates that more than a dozen of these spaces existed across the city. With queerness becoming more socially acceptable and the advent of online-dating, these spaces are harder to come by.
