Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties

"I Was Getting Surprisingly Comfortable In My Queerness" - with Anthony Criswell from Beards and Sundries Podcast


Listen Later

This week we are headed to Stonewall!

Only not THAT Stonewall (sorry if I got your hopes up)...

No, instead of the bright lights of New York city we are headed to small town Oklahoma, to visit the Stonewall Tavern in a town named Stillwater.

And whilst this bar wasn't technically a gay bar, it did create a safe environment and give people space to be themselves and figure out who they are.

And one of the people who went there is Anthony Criswell, who is one of the hosts of the Beards and Sundries podcast alongside his husband Joe and their friend Jay (who you may remember from a recent episode of the show!).

One of the things that I love most about this conversation is that Anthony is a recovering people pleaser, and he gives us some advice on how to assert yourself in your relationships (which I, of course, immediately start to overthink and over-examine, but, hey, that's what you've come to expect from this show, right?).

Do you have any memories of Stonewall Tavern, or clubbing from your own scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to! Bonus points for embarrassing photos!

You can also find me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/lostspacespod), Instagram (www.instagram.com/lostspacespod) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/lostspacespod)

Find out more about Anthony by listening to his show, Beards and Sundries, wherever you find podcasts. And, you can also follow the show on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/beardsandsundries
