"This Used to Be Gay!"
with Moe Angelos
|
|
On the heels of Lower East Side History Month, theater artist, charismatic raconteur, and Multi-year Queer|Art Mentor Moe Angelos (of The Five Lesbian Brothers and The Builders Association) is leading a virtual tour of the places that “used to be gay” in the East Village and the historic Lower East Side. Having seen her beloved gay-borhood go through many changes over the years, Moe will lead participants through sites of former discos, clubs, bathhouses, theaters, galleries, and oh-so-many bars that once proliferated the streets.
RSVP here!
