Gay Glasgow
-------------------------------------
Scotland's biggest city, Glasgow was once known as the British Empire's “second city.” Today, it remains a competitive force in the worlds of business, finance, and gay frolic. Fast-talking, amiable Glaswegians are proud of their city and donate a warm welcome to visitors.
Most LGBT clubs in Glasgow are to be found in the area of Merchant Capital at city centre -- the "Pink Triangle" it's sometimes called, just northeast of Argyle Street and Glasgow Central Railway Stations. Mardiglahas a mid-July Saturday parade from Kelvingrove Park through the City Centre to Georges Square, and a two day festival on six Gay Village streets of Merchant Municipality. Pride Glasgow has a mid-August Saturday March and a Saturday/Sunday Festival at Riverside Museum.
OutSpoken Arts is an ongoing LGBT arts festival held at venues throughout the city hosting plays, films, talks and art exhibitions. A logo new program of events is being scheduled for LGBT History Month Scotland, February 2019, to tag the 50th year since the Stonewall Riots.

In my dictionary a rumour "is a currently circulating story of unverified or doubtful truth".
FACT is that in the 70s and 80s Tennents was not a gay bar in the same, almost exclusive, feeling that The Duke of Wellington or Vintners were but was gay approachable and frequented by a sizeable gay crowd on a regular basis. On entering through the Byres Road doors, the right hand side was where most gays congregated.It was also obviously popular with gay students, myself existence one so can personally verify the above as truth. I cannot, of course, comment on its current status.
I think if anybody could find a Gay News from the period you would detect Tennents listed in the pubs section.
