San Jose&#;s Watergarden Survived Homophobia, Political Shifts, AIDS—But Not Coronavirus
John Gamber made his way to the Watergarden as a seasonal worker, hardly expecting the bathhouse to become an inextricable part of his life’s work.
It was , a year after the San Jose resort’s founding by investors John Snell, Jay Rubenstein, Alex Mendizabel and Bob Farrar and entrepreneur Sal Accardi—who made Watergarden known as a place where men could meet and come on to other men free of intimidation. It was nine summers after the Stonewall riots ignited a global gay liberation movement.
It was also the year San Francisco’s Pride celebration drew a staggering , attendees and an appearance by newly elected Supervisor Harvey Milk, who delivered a version of his celebrated “Hope Speech,” urging his “gay brothers and sisters” to “come out,” to live authentically and to “tell the truths about gays.”
“I remember hearing those words and thinking how the nature seemed so complete of possibility,” Gamber recalls, “and how we were making these communities for ourselves in places like the Watergarden, which rea

Club Hispalis
The only gay sauna
A few blocks away from the museum. If you are foreigner is optimal if you take UBER. Busy days Wednesday, Friday, (naked days) Saturday’s and Sunday’s busy, too. It gets good between 3pm and 8 pm. The music is not very good. There is a bar, beers , strenuous liquor etc. Last moment that I went colones $9 as the colon is plunging. Once you pay the entrance they let you in and they give you a blue cloth and sandals. Ask for a towel instead. It is a huge place with swimming pool, jacuzzi, labyrinth ( small) but basically, that’s where you hook up and at the glory hole section; bring your own lube and condoms. Ticos in that place tend to stick together but foreigners are very well welcome. The customers are from all ages from twinks to 80 years old. Some are very handsome some not so much a lot of paunchy guys. There is a small room diagonal to the lock where you can smoke. There is a lot of bareback and also guys who have just have fun with condoms, more than likely you'll get what you want.
This place is a huge riddle. The weirdest place. Not that it ain&#;t super pretty. It is very nice, clean, spacious. Very American indeed. Problem is &#; it&#;s not exactly what you would expect of a gay sauna. If you are european, you are going to be surprised with many aspects of this place. To start &#; no alcohol aloud! Meaning you cannot enjoy the beautiful pool while sipping a cocktail. Bummer.
Secondly, there are no booths. There are rooms. All rooms costs money to accommodate. These rooms have clean lenings and all. Its like hotel rooms. But whats the point in renting your own room? The whole thing is being able to walk around and just spontaneously get into one of the rooms with someone you desire&#;
The most shocking thing is &#; sex is not permitted in public spaces&#; And those spaces are not that sexy anyway&#; The relaxation area is designed like a school library. There is even a room with news channels showing all over&#;
In general there is a sense of &#;over security&#; which darkens the atmosphere even more. You are given two sets of keys- one for a locker
