Crazy that there were multiple lesbian specific bars/clubs/cafes in Pōneke around the 1960s, but not a single one now??? When half the city is sapphic?? Needddd to attend the Let’s Be In cafe on Willis street! Bring her back!!

All done! Really cool read in the sense that I don’t know much about what it was like to be queer in an earlier New Zealand. Our queer history is awesome! But also sad etc. One take away is how good they were at community building! Mands said the difficulty in building community now is an indicator of late stage capitalism - great!!!!!
