  • San Francisco 2019-12-15: All We’ve Got – Bay Area Premiere

    oin us for the Bay Area premiere of ALL WE’VE GOT, with Q&A to follow featuring the film’s director, along with special guests!

    ALL WE’VE GOT is a personal exploration of LGBTQ* women’s communities, cultures, and social justice work through the lens of the physical spaces they create, from bars to bookstores to arts and political hubs.

    In ALL WE’VE GOT, filmmaker Alexis Clements travels the country to explore the factors driving the loss of these spaces, understand why some are able to endure, and to search for community among the ones that remain. From a lesbian bar in Oklahoma; to the Esperanza Peace & Justice Center in San Antonio, TX; to the WOW Café Theatre in New York; to the public gatherings organized by the Trans Ladies Picnics around the US and beyond; to the Lesbian Herstory Archives in Brooklyn, the film takes us into diverse LGBTQ* spaces and shines a light on why having a place to gather matters. Ultimately, ALL WE’VE GOT is a celebration of the history and resilience of the LGBTQ* community and the inclusive spaces they make, as well as a call to action to continue building stronger futures for all communities.

    Tickets must be purchased from the Roxie to attend this event. Get your tickets here: https://www.roxie.com/ai1ec_event/all-weve-got/

  • Brooklyn 2019-11-20: Saturn Returned – a happy hour gathering for queer women and folks age 30+

    Saturn Returned is back for edition #5. Close out the fall season with delicious drinks and fantastic folks. www.saturnreturned.com

    New York offers a variety of queer events, but it can be hard to find a party that starts before 10pm — most of us have work in the morning and need our beauty rest. When you do get out to the party, you typically encounter a gaggle of fresh-faced adorable gays who don’t remember when MTV played music videos. Bless them, but it can be alienating for us more seasoned folks.

    This party is for any queer-identified women (and queer-ID’d folks who date us) over the age of 30! That includes lesbian, bi, pan, queer, trans, non-binary, gender expansive, butch, femme, etc and anywhere in between.
