According to the website, there were an estimated 200 lesbian bars across the country in the late 1980s. The PSA features absolutely stunning vintage footage and photographs of lesbian bars from a time when they thrived. They’re also releasing a sleek and beautiful PSA starring the voice of butch icon Lea DeLaria ( Orange is the New Black) and directed by Erica Rose ( GIRL TALK) and Elina Street. You can also explore each of the remaining bars on the website so you can see just how important these spaces are. 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the bars, and will be split evenly. Over the next four weeks, the Lesbian Bar Project will be raising funds for the bars on its website. Them reports that created in partnership with Jagermeister's #SaveTheNight initiative, this new campaign seeks to raise enough money to keep these sacred lesbian spots afloat during quarantine. That’s where a new fundraiser The Lesbian Bar Project comes in. Now in the midst of a pandemic, these few remaining havens for women who love women are at even higher risk of shutting down themselves, leaving no lesbian bars left at all. It’s hard to believe that in the whole United States there are only fifteen lesbian bars still in operation, but that’s the sad and frustrating reality. Lesbian bars are a sacred place, a place where you can be yourself and find your family and learn your history.
