My boyfriend’s birthday was on Sunday and he wanted to go to a goth club so we chose The Church since… it was open on Sunday. To get logistics out of the way, the closest parking lot we found was $10, but if you lurk for a while you might be able to find street parking. It’s $10 at the door, drinks were around $8-12 each. Now, onto the vibes. We had a fantastic time and the atmosphere was great. Soon after we arrived we were eagerly greeted by someone named Summer who asked if it was our first time here and made us feel incredibly welcome and said that regardless if the state goes to hell, The Church will always be a safe place. And we truly felt that! I’ve never been to a place where I felt that comfortable dancing and moving freely, or felt so safe kissing and dancing with my love in public. We also somewhat unknowingly arrived on “Sadistic Sunday,” the afterparty for the Dallas Fetish Ball, so fetish was a big theme. Despite my initial concern, as Summer promised it was a safe place for everyone, zero boundaries were crossed, no one engaged in fetish with people who did not expressly consent. And even with a “theme,” there were still so many different people with different aesthetics all across the alternative subculture spectrum. We got tons of compliments, and it became a goal to come back the next free Sunday we had. Thanks for a great night! And thank you to Summer for being so kind!
