Gay movie night
Pride Month may be over, but dancing at the gay club is a year-round activity. Nothing compares to that energy on a dance floor surrounded by other queer people with song flowing through you. And sometimes lesbian and queer movies prevail at capturing that feeling!
Personally, I think we need way more gay club scenes in sapphic cinema. I love a hushed talking moment at a gay bar as much as the next person but it&#;s not the same. That&#;s why I&#;ve gathered this list of my ten favorite night club scenes — many at queer clubs, some at straight clubs where queer people make them gay. So inhale those poppers, grind on your crush, and dive in!
Bonus: The entire movie Shakedown
This is a documentary about a club rather than one scene from a narrative film, but how could we talk about night club scenes without at least mentioning Shakedown?? If you haven&#;t seen this film chronicling the Black lesbian strip club Shakedown from to when it was shut down in , you should change that immediately.
