About this listen

We’re picking up right where we left off last historical episode, with John Eddy searching for a space for the Metropolitan Capitolites’ first bar. This episode will journey from the 70s to the 80s, where Queer visibility is increasing across the city. Featuring gays lining up in public to dance, lesbian bars with sticky floors, exclusive sound systems and large dance floors, Drag performances, and more, join us to learn about some of the District’s most iconic bars.
