A proposito di questo titolo

Queering the District Podcast explores the role, history, and stories “third places” have held across time for the Queer community in Washington, D.C. Join us as we journey as far back as the 19th century and make our way back to the present day to see how various types of Queer “third places,” such as bars, parks, houses, and more, have evolved over time.

Each season will focus on one “type” of “third place,” with season one focused on bars. You’ll hear from Queer elders, academic experts, and even that one drunk friend leaving a voicemail in their favorite bar as they share the stories of Queer folks who have and continue to gather in defiance, solidarity, and celebration across the District.
