Summary

Jess is joined by the filmmakers behind The Lesbian Bar Project (Erica Rose & Elina Street), a new TV docu-series inspired by the decline in women's queer spaces in the US (from 200 in the 1980s to under 25 today). The Lesbian Bar Project has evolved from a short film into a full-fledged TV series exec. produced by Lea DeLaria -- now airing on the Roku channel! -- showcasing the stories of queer bar owners and the spaces they have created. We go deep on how "gay bars" aren't just "bars" - but performance spaces and restaurants, discuss iconic NYC establishments (Cubbyhole, Henrietta Hudson & Stonewall), as well as gay bar culture of the '70s & '80s. We then move on to fave celesbian sightings around town, including some L Word gossip, Sarah Paulson, Cherry Jones and...Ricki Lake?

Find The Lesbian Bar Project series on the Roku Channel!
