Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties

A Very Awkward One-Night-Stand - featuring the 9th Avenue Saloon, NYC, USA (with Conor Kelly O'Brien)

This week we are heading back to the Big Apple with Conor Kelly O'Brien, an actor, theatre maker and creative arts organiser, originally from Scranton, Pennsylvania -- after a day of soul-zapping auditions Conor found himself at 9th Avenue Saloon, a gay dive bar in Hell's Kitchen. It was here, whilst commiserating over an alcoholic beverage or two, that Conor met a man, got pleasantly distracted, got frisky, and then... well, you'll have to listen to the episode to find out... but, yeah, definitely one of the more interesting one-night-stands I've heard about.

How do queer spaces help to shape people's lives? 

Why are they so important to the LGBTQ+ community?

What is the impact of losing these spaces?

Lost Spaces explores these questions (and more!) through conversations with members of the LGBT community. 

Each week host K Anderson sits down with a different guest to discuss a space from their past, why it was important to them, and how it helped shape who they are. 

Expect conversations about coming out, going out, and getting down. 

And snogging strangers on sweaty dancefloors. We can't talk about gay history without that coming up.
