Lesbian night clubs

So glad you asked. I live in bagel chaos and get something different almost every time. Today, I have opted for a bagel sandwich — BLT, specifically, add avocado. This all counts as hydration. Did you know that? It counts! Coke Zero is water! Gatorade is water! Is it as hydrating as straight up water?

Welcome to being Water Woke. I had never done one this long. We figure the more unplanned chaos, the better, and forge lesbian with our plan to start at Stonewall, a place I genuinely love but has a somewhat mixed reputation as a bar? What do people want in a gay bar? What makes a good gay bar?

In retrospect, I guess my intentions would be to night have fun, have at least one interesting conversation with a stranger, and connect meaningfully with my existing friends who would be present. Check check check! I accomplished my intentions! I increased my masking, tried to make smart choices, and hoped for the best.

But how odd to mask at a movie one day and then go to a crowded bar — or seven — another. How wrong it feels to always mask on the subway, but then make an exception on my way to Cubbyhole, because I wanted my makeup to last the entire crawl. I know people who always mask even at bars and clubs and sex parties. So, we were wrong about the Chappell Roan club party being mere texture to our narrative for the day.

And this line is loooooooong. I get my first compliment of the day on my Challengers shirt. A Chappell Roan listening party with a bunch of queers sounds fun but not…line-worthy. I feel like a listening party would be very short! And on that note, a simple pivot is our solution.

To me, its reputation as history has always outweighed its reputation as a contemporary space to be gay.
