S1, E7: no stage too small

from Queering the District Podcast

We’re picking up right where we left off last historical episode, in the late 80s and early 90s, with increased visibility of the Queer community creating more spaces and events centered around Queer joy, especially amongst the AIDS/HIV epidemic. This episode will journey from the late 80s to the mid-2000s, with the opening and closing of various Queer bars. Featuring the longest running Drag King group in the nation, strip clubs in Southeast, Salvadorian food and latin music, and more! Join us this week to learn about some of the District’s most legendary bars. You can find a transcript for the episode on our website.
