WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — LGBTQ bar H.G. Roosters in West Palm Beach is known as the oldest gay bar in the state of Florida.

Roosters had to close its doors last May because of a fire. But on Monday, the city gave unanimous approval for the historic designation that is expected to help overcome challenges during the bar's reconstruction process.

The local LGBTQ community explained during a Facebook Live why the city of West Palm Beach’s historical designation for H.G. Roosters is important, and what’s next for rebuilding plans after a devastating fire.
