About this listen

Welcome to our final historical episode! We’re picking up right where we left off last historical episode, in the mid 2000s with the closing of many beloved Queer spaces in Southeast and new bars trying to fill the gaps left behind by the spaces lost. This episode will journey from the mid-2000s to present day. Featuring the longest running lesbian bar in the District, protest block parties, bars you know and love operating today, and more!

Join us this week to learn about some of the District’s most legendary bars. You can find the transcription for the episode on our website. You can also find a version of the transcript with a works cited and in text citations for the episode here.
