Dyke Spaces w/ Alex Koones – Ep. 90

Whether you identify as lesbian, bisexual, queer, or ace, (cue
Cheers theme song) sometimes you wanna go where everybody is a
dyke. But when lesbian bars are closing down at the pace of Shane’s
love life, we need to create new dyke spaces while supporting those
that still exist. Alex Koones, the founder of Babetown dinner
parties for queer women and trans and non-binary people, joined us
to tell us about the dyke spaces she frequents, and the one she
created. Why do we seek out these spaces? How have they changed
over the years? How do you create dyke spaces in your community?
This episode was recorded the Monday after NYC Pride, so Carolyn
and Sarah also share how they celebrated, including Sarah’s
thoughts on her first Dyke March. We end the episode with a
listener’s question about internalized homophobia while trying to
date women. -Come see past and future guests tell jokes on July 29
