Tuesday, April 27, 2021
Online Event
7:00 pm – 8:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
Since the 1980s, we have watched the number of Lesbian Bars in the US decline from 200 to just 15... with more locations set to close due to the ongoing Pandemic. Join us for an open panel discussing the decline and current state of lesbian bars in the US, intersectionality and the need for safe spaces for queer Women of Color, misogyny within the LGBTQIA+ community, and surviving the Pandemic. The panel will be followed by a short Q&A portion, and attendees will be able to donate to the bar(s) of their choosing. Donations are not required for attendance but are encouraged to ensure the continued survival of these cultural institutions.7:00 pm – 8:30 pm EDT/GMT-4
Panelists are Lisa Cannistraci (she/they - Henrietta Hudson), Ally Spaulding (she/her - A League of Her Own), Jen & Jami Maguire (she/her - My Sister's Room).
Moderated by Belinda Drake (she/her), former candidate for Indiana State Senate.
