    PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) - A cornerstone of Portland�s LGBTQ+ community, CC Slaughters announced it will close its doors permanently this summer.

    Slaughters opened in 1981 as a dance club that attracted gay customers.
    Since then, it has grown to include a variety of performers and events
    that that cater to the wider LGBTQ+ community.

    In 2020, the club, which sits between NW 2nd and 3rd Ave. on NW Davis
    St., closed temporarily during the COVID-19 pandemic, and later reopened
    in April 2021.

    �CC Slaughters has played an iconic [role] as a safe-space for queer
    nightlife for over 44 years in Portland,� the club wrote on Facebook.
    �We are looking forward to serving Portland for the next two final
    months of business.�

    The club said their doors are set to close permanently on Aug. 3, 2025.
