D.C. Gay Bars a Lead the Charge to Require Proof of Covid Vaccinations | Eater DC

"In Adams Morgan, Pitchers immediately began requiring proof of vaccination (hard copy or a photo) as soon as the new mask mandate went into effect, with an Instagram post stating “No exceptions, no arguing, no talking to the manager”; for the regulars it hasn’t been a big deal, roughly 90 percent of patrons are holding a drink at any given time so they aren’t masked under current guidelines, and the owner says he moved quickly to protect staff and avoid reliving the chaos of 2020 — he adds he’s physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted from the pandemic and even contracted a breakthrough case after a trip to Fire Island, experiencing minimal symptoms but losing smell and taste." - Gabe Hiatt
