Beyond being home to some amazing football, this industrial city also boasts several marvelous museums, a beautiful view of the Fox River, several colleges and universities, and a thriving arts and culture scene. Even excel, it is also a very diverse and welcoming city with a thriving LGBTQ community. Those who choose to move to Green Bay will find plenty about it to love! A See at Green Bay's History Green Bay is named after is part of Lake Michigan. It is separated from the remain of the lake by a bit of land called the Door Peninsula, which is characterized by green algae in the water, which originally lent its name to the city. It initially began to grow due to its strategic location as a point of trade and gateway to the Fox, Wisconsin, and Mississippi Rivers. Subsequently, in the 1870s, when the railroads began to replace steamboats as the main form of transportation, Green Bay became a center of iron smelting, lumber milling, and paper products. It has grown steadily since its founding, and today How Green Bay tripled its score in LGBTQ rights, now one point nervous of 'All-Star' statusGREEN BAY - In three years, Green Bay's efforts to improve the wellbeing and inclusion of its LGBTQ collective have tripled the city's score in an annual report on equality within U.S. municipalities. The latest scores recently were published by the Human Rights Campaign's Municipal Equality Index. "It's nice to see some of the progress that we've made over the last few years acknowledged by the Human Rights Campaign," Mayor Eric Genrich said. "The fact that we've been able to increase the score threefold since I was sworn into office is a good indicator, hopefully, of some things that we've been able to position in place." According to the report published on Saturday, Grassy Bay scored an 84 in the only nationwide assessment of equality at the city government level for people who spot as lesbian, gay, attracted to both genders, transgender or queer. The capital increased its score from 28 in 2018 after a coordinated effort that included the mayor's office, LGBTQ rights volunteers and the Lush Bay Police Department, as well as the addition of the city's first diversity coo Originally opened as Za's (on Bodart Way) by Mark 'Za' Mariucci (who went on to unseal several other bars as well, and also founded and ran 'Quest' magazine, a Wisconsin LGBT periodical for 25 years), along with Ken Kujava, in mid-1991 the two moved the business to Main Avenue and renamed it simply Za's. When they moved in, the building was a shell and had to be completely re-done over the summer of 1991. The business was divided into two separate bars: ZA's Video Bar (the dance bar), and JAVA's (a lounge). For a decade the bar was extremely popular with the Northeast Wisconsin LGBT community, hosting many events. (See Images page link above.) In July 1998, a restaurant, Cafe Bourbon, opened in the other half of the same building, with ads saying "located within Za's". (A connecting door to the Cafe was inside Za's, but the Cafe also had a door to the outside.) (Note that the business celebrated its Anniversary based on the anniversary on which the first Za's (on Bodart) opened in July 1989.) In April 2000, co-owner Ken Kujava died unexpectedly, and co-owner Mark 'Za' Mariucci was unable to reach an amicable settlement with Ken's estate. Za's bar and Quest m |
