I’m imagining a place where we can freely discuss the topics affecting the LGBTQQIP2SAA community without always having to tip-toe or explain, which can happen in mainly straight spaces. I feel a similar need for a space to exist with like-minded folks – a gay bar to call our own. As a 40-year-old, single, non-binary lesbian, meeting other queers in the tri-city area has proved to be a kind of queer quest of the Holy Grail: awkward, elusive, and futile. It helped relieve the stress of a hard day, and garnered a sense of comradery. We would discuss the day’s problems over a cold pint, rant about customers, and make connections within the industry. When I worked in renovations (I know, I know, a lesbian in Carhartt) there was a bar where trades people met after work.
