Where have all the lesbian bars gone? Greg sits down with Erica Rose, co-founder and co-director of the Lesbian Bar Project, to talk about the dwindling number of these spaces, and what they represent in the first place. The conversation ranges from New York to DC to Berlin to Mobile, Alabama, as they talk about the need for these spaces in the service industry and the queer community, as well as what some folks are doing to save them. Plus, New York’s beloved haze is back, and just in time for the Fourth of July. Stay tuned to find out how much of it wound up in Greg’s lungs this week!
