The Future of Lesbian Spaces: What Will They Look Like?
Where do we go?
Flourishing in the 1980's, lesbian bars have been an important staple by providing a safe space for those most marginalized within the LGBTQ community. Sadly though, these spaces have started to disappear at an alarming rate.
While all LGBTQ gathering places may be seeing a decrease in numbers there are still roughly 800 gay bars across the country compared to only 22 lesbian bars. Even in a place like San Francisco, with rich LGBTQ history, we only have 2 lesbian bars.
Why did so many close and what needs to be done to create these new spaces? Come watch as we discuss the past, present, and future of the lesbian bar.
