I hope the owners of Rain make improvements to the atmosphere, but the true problem is out of their control: that gay society has been re-structured away from recent LGBT movement priorities like social integration via marriage, family life, housing, equal employment opportunities, etc back toward social outlaw promiscuity and drug use because of — charged, meth enabling, racially discriminatory dating apps like Grindr and Adam4Adam that remove importance in our minds from who someone is and places it only on what they look like, how much money they have, and what drugs they use has ruined gay nightlife throughout the country.

Man, chill out...
I thought OCH was and is great. Sounds like you need to get out more. Austin's gay scene is incredibly tame and low-key compared to many/most major cities.
