A minor correction to the description, but the reason the Elgin Theater closed was a rent increase. It was then that a gay porn theater operator attempted to set up a gay porn theater there but community backlash forced then to back out. So the community backlash closed the porn theater not the Elgin. It was then that the movie theater was converted to a dance company theater. For the individual who asked how long it was a gay porn theater, only a few months at most I believe if even actually got off the ground at all (The article I read wasn’t clear on that).
