The Henhouse, Toronto, Canada (with Joseph Amenta)
Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties - A podcast by lost queer spaces - Wednesdays
Basic white gays - what are they good for? Ok, ok, a bit of a sensationalist headline.... But, what do you do when you don't quite fit in with the commercial queer scene, and how do you find your scene? This week I'm joined by writer, director and filmmaker Joseph Amenta to talk all about The Henhouse, a small, queer dive bar in Toronto's west that closed in 2015 as a result of rapid gentrification in the city. Expect to hear about Celine Dion Dance Parties (which are a thing in Canada, apparently), and taking inspiration from the magic of safe spaces....
