Dyke Bars w/ Jo McDaniel - Ep. 166

Believe it or not, we can't talk enough about saving our dyke space. And not even an attempted coup by domestic terrorists can stop us. Jo McDaniel, who runs A League of Her Own in Washington D.C., joins us to share what makes these spaces different than any other space. Jo has a long history of bartending and working in queer spaces in D.C.. From hiring femme security staff to conducting hand checks to mandatory consent, you'll learn the ins, outs, and challenges of creating a true safe space for our community. We seriously cannot wait (though we will) to visit ALOHO, but for now, join us in supporting this GAYMAZING space by signing up for virtual events, buying sweet merch, and more! Plus, Melody gathers intel from scary websites, and Carolyn sounds like a straight girl...sort of. Finally, we end with a fun AITA-type listener question, which we would LOVE more of. -Get extra content, Ad Free episodes, support the pod, and get to know other listeners by joining our Patreon community.
