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

'It Validated That I Am Gay' - with Greg R Baird


Listen Later

This week it's the story of The Copa, a club that was found (across two different sites) in Flint, Michigan between the years of 1980-1995


But, really, it's a love story. And the first scene in this love story just happened to be at The Copa. 


And, who is here to tell us all about it?


Why, it's the self-proclaimed 'professional homosexual' Greg R Baird, who is a Global Lecturer on LGBTQIA+ Civil Rights, Allyship & Community.


Greg is currently working on his memoir, and so was in a reflective mood when we sat down. And I learnt some really important things in this conversation, like how Greg learnt to masturbate, and how he managed to fit in his really tight trousers that he bought especially for his first night in the club. But, most importantly, I learnt about the power of unconditional love.
