QUEER NEWS THAT’LL MAKE YOU SMILE
It can seem sometimes like all the news these days is bad. We won’t deny there’s a lot of troubling things going on, including a rise in hate crimes. But it’s not all terrible out there! We want to do our best to highlight good news, because while it may seem like the world is filled with hate, there are many individuals who are living their best lives with a rainbow in their heart.
This week’s good news involves Boston.
After decades without a dedicated lesbian bar, Dani’s Queer Bar announced on the socials that they would officially open on Thursday, September 12.
The manager says the “core audience is Queer, Sapphic Women, Trans and Non-Binary members of the LGBTQ+ Community in Boston. Dani’s Queer Bar hosts weekly events, from drag shows to emo dance parties, that showcase Boston’s queer culture and allow everyone to be their true and honest selves.”
Curious why they named it Dani. The manager named the establishment after her dog. Aww!

That’s all for today.
Wishing all of you a wonderful Friday!
