Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
320 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 days ago - ★★★★★ - 27 ratingsHow 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.

July 08, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 75.8 MBThis week we're going to do something a little bit different! Rather than visit a lost bar or club we're going to get down and dirty reminiscing about a lost cruising space with Conner Habib - author, lecturer, and sex workers’ rights advocate. In the late 90s and early 00s, whilst studying at the University of Massachusetts Amerherst Campus, he discovered a fun past-time to while away the hours between classes! We discuss the art of cruising, angry Pennsylvanians, and good ol' fashioned gl...

Though the bar was only open for two years, there was an uproar in the community when it abruptly closed in 2018.
