Ginger's Bar, a queer staple in Brooklyn for 25 years, is organizing a major St. Patrick's Day celebration showcasing commitment to queer rights amidst current anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. The bar aims to foster 'queer joy, resistance, community, and love', while countering the trend of lesbian bar closures across the U.S. The three-day event includes live performances, DJ sets, and traditional Irish music, encouraging community connection and support in a challenging political climate. The significance of Ginger's as a home for the queer community underscores the necessity of safe spaces for identity celebration.
"For 25 years, Ginger's has been a space where people can be themselves, nurture community, celebrate their identities, and build lasting connections."
"In an Instagram post announcing back-to-back events and parties, the bar mentioned the current threats to queer rights and their desire to create a space for 'queer joy, resistance, community and love.'"
