We Came To Sweat: The Legend Of Starlite
September 27, 2015 @ 7:00 pm - 8:20 pm
Founded in 1962, black gay bar the Starlite Lounge became a legendary pre- and post-Stonewall safe-haven for queer people of colour. Recently, the survival of this Brooklyn-based institution came under threat and a passionate community mobilized to try to save it. A timely look at the loss of LGBT and queer spaces to commercialism and gentrification.
