Whether you’re an L.A. native or a newbie, here are 15 queer spaces around the city you should know.
When reflecting on the community that Queer Cafe has grown into, creator Ari Tibi thinks of the music, the storytelling, the open-mindedness, the impactful emotional offerings that have moved guests to tears.
“It’s a sentimental experience because we’re a family when we’re in there, never taking for granted that not everyone has access to queer-friendly spaces,” explains Tibi. “Queer people are never just queer — of course we’re so much more than that one identity — but that experience is unique and it comes across in [people’s] artistry every time. Even if you’re not queer, I’d think you can’t help but feel that freedom too.
Queer Cafe started as a birthday party for Tibi last summer, quickly sold out, and has since become a regular event with a residency at Hotel Cafe in Hollywood. “It was a celebration of the freedom I saw from other performers being out and queer onstage, because for a long time, I tried to minimize my own queerness.”
The next event, which will celebrate the cafe’s one-year anniversary, is June 18 at 9 p.m. and will feature an open mic at the end.
