Made It Out

This week, Mal is joined by friend and creator of a lesbian social golf club, Hilary Lassoff, to chat about creating your own community spaces where they don't exist. Mal and Hilary discuss the importance of meeting people outside of the bars, why lesbian bars are often unsuccessful, and how activities such as golf can be a "why" in friendship. Let us know how you made your queer community in the comments!
