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

'Where Do Lesbians Go For Fun?' - with Layne the Auctionista

Listen Later

I love hearing people's stories of places that are close to their hearts - places where they spent tonnes of time, met lots of wonderful people, and figured out things about themselves.

But, you know what else I love?

And hate is maybe too strong a word for this week's guest's experience, but I still enjoyed hearing about how the sticky floors and the dark, dank bar were just not up their alley.

And who's alley were we not up?

Well, it's Layne the Auctionista, who joined me to talk about Seven, the aforementioned dark bar that was found in London, Ontario, Canada.
