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

'I Wasn't Very Popular In Gay Male Spaces' - with Miah Jeffra


Listen Later

We’re going to get really cheesy this week...

You probably already know that I love me some cheesy, poetic imagery. And this week I may have stumbled upon the cheesiest thing that you ever did hear.

Now, we've talked about the importance of the dancefloor in finding community and being oneself, but we haven't ever spoken to someone who attributes the dancefloor as THE place where the queer scene, and their position in the queer scene, suddenly started to make sense.

But that’s about to change. This week I sat down with author Miah Jeffra, who was feeling kind of so-so and disconnected from the scene when he was just going to gay bars. It wasn’t until he went to the nightclub called Backstreet which was in Atlanta, Georgia, that the world started making sense and he got to find his brand of sexy.

And, yes, you read that correctly - ‘brand of sexy’.

It’ll make sense once you’ve listened to the episode.

I promise.

I hope.
