Title: The Last Lesbian Bars
Year: 2015
Language: US (English)
Plot: In cities like San Francisco, New York, Washington DC and New Orleans, where gay nightlife thrives, lesbian bars are still regularly closing their doors. Musician, songwriter, DJ and producer JD Samson, explores why for this thrilling episode of Vice.
Basic Review:
• If this doesn’t make you want to hit the town after the boredom of Covid19 lockdowns this year, nothing will.
• The film explores how dating and meeting new people has changed as a result of social media.
• It also explores how the American LGBTIQA+ community has become more integrated, which is possibly making it easier to go to any bar and still be able to meet other queer people.
• It does seem apparent that there is still a need and desire for these safe spaces, so it feels a little sad to watch them slowly disappearing.
