Drag superstar Trixie Mattel has seen about five LGBTQ+ bars in Los Angeles permanently close during the pandemic. Others in the City of Angels are turning to GoFundMe to stay afloat.
She didn t want to see Milwaukee s This Is It! suffer the same fate.
This Is It! was the first LGBTQ+ bar that Brian Firkus who developed his Mattel drag character in Milwaukee visited after turning 21. And it s the longest-running LGBTQ+ bar in Wisconsin, and one of the oldest in the country. U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin recognized founders June Brehm and her son Joseph for their contributions to Wisconsin s LGBTQ+ community, and the bar became the site of the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project s first permanent public display in 2019.
