Photo of one of the oldest lesbian bars in the country, Wildrose in Capitol Hill taken Sept. 14, 2016. The bar is dimly lit. In the photo, a bartender in a white shirt, with their back to the camera, fills up a bar at a tap. Behind the bar, a mirror is decorated with window paint that reads "The Wildrose, celebrating Love since 1984." The word "love" is inside a rainbow heart and smaller white hearts encircle the larger heart.
