How Queer Bars in Red States Forge On | Eater
"A lesbian cocktail bar in Durham with a nonstop, inclusive events calendar leading up to Pride — from burlesque and jazz to mushroom gatherings, craft nights, Dungeons & Dragons, and nights for transgender people of color — designed to cultivate joy, laughter, and community. The owner describes a cherished, convivial atmosphere where regulars’ laughter and playful socializing underscore the bar’s role as a place to exist openly and celebrate queer life." - Lane Gillespie
