Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties
Health & Fitness:Sexuality
So, if you're reading these show notes I'm going to go ahead and make the assumption that you know about the Pulse nightclub shooting that happened in Orlando in 2016.
And I'm also going to assume that you've heard some of the stories from survivors and families of victims about the impact of that night.
But, now that we're a few years on and people's attention has moved elsewhere what happens to those feelings that are sitting there for people that were impacted by that night?
What if Pulse was your safe space?
How do you move on whilst never forgetting the importance of that space?
Well, for actor / writer JJ Ivey, who turned up to Pulse every Tuesday for karaoke night, there are still a mix of emotions.
They're obviously really grateful for what that space facilitated for them, but they're still figuring out how to grieve it properly.
What I appreciated most about this week's conversation is that JJ was really open about some of the messiness of their emotions and how they are continuing to make sense of something that will never make sense...
