Nightlife in Philadelphia - An Oyster Barrow in front of the Chestnut Street Theater painted by John Lewis Krimmel (1786 - 1821)

[granvarones]

the roots of queer clubs can be traced back to the early 20th century. many of these spaces existed in secrecy, then in the aftermath of the stonewall uprising against police violence in june 1969, queer clubs began to emerge from the shadows. the uprisings served as catalyst for transformation of queer nightlife.

in the 1970s and 1980s and throughout the 1990s, clubs continued to serve a profound role personal and collective liberation. these venues provided a space that offered a sense of freedom and refuge from homophobia and discrimination and music played a pivotal role. the songs , which often times could only be heard in queer spaces - months before they crossed over to mainstream pop radio, were a sonic invitation for everyone to come out to dance and be free on the dance floor.

below are a few of the songs that soundtracked the celebration of coming out to and/or inviting people into your world. may we all find a dance floor to move and be with abandon as we sing, or lip sync, to our favorite songs!

I WAS BORN THIS WAY • CARL BEAN

defiant in its profound message about gay pride, self-acceptance, and self-affirmation, “i was born this way” was initially released in 1975 by motown recording artist valentino. two years later, in 1977, carl bean, also on motown, covered the song and made it an anthem on and off the dance floor. bean’s version was remixed and re-released as the “better days” remix. it ignited dance floors again - almost a decade later.

I’M COMING OUT • DIANA ROSS

written by the prolific producer nile rodgers, “i’m coming out” was inspired after nile saw multiple diana ross drag performers in a bathroom at a new york queer club in 1979.

although the term “coming out” had been used to describe self-disclosure around sexual orientation and gender identity since the turn of the 20th century, ross was surprisingly unaware of the concept until nile told diana, “..this song is gonna be your coming-out song. we think of you as our black queen…”

I AM WHAT I AM | GLORIA GAYNOR

“i am what i am” was initially written for the 1983 broadway musical “la cage aux folles.” gloria gaynor, first lady of disco, released a dance version later that year. “i am what i am,” became a global queer anthem during a time when “coming out” was fiercely encouraged to build community and organize around the still unfolding AIDS crisis.

I’M COMING OUT OF HIDING | PAMALA STANLEY

philadelphia-born and raised pamela stanley scored a string of dance hits in the early 1980s. Her most notable song was the Hi-NRG classic “coming out of hiding.”

released nationally in 1984, “coming out of hiding” became a massive club hit, reaching #4 on billboard’s dance chart, and became an anthem among gay men during the onset of the AIDS crisis. a time when severe homophobia threatened to chase LGBTQ folks back into the closet.

NEW ATTITUDE | PATTI LABELLE

by the release of “new attitude” at the end of 1984, patti labelle had already cemented herself as a queer icon for her fashion, performance style, and resilience. she was also one of the first recording artists to support and perform at AIDS benefits.

if a jolt of energy could be a timeless self-empowering anthem, it would be “new attitude.” the song’s uplifting message of self-confidence, transformation, and embracing one’s connection with queer audiences.

COME INTO MY HOUSE | QUEEN LATIFAH

“welcome into my queendom, come one, come all…,” the opening line of the first verse of queen latifah’s 1990 hip-hop/house track “come into my house” is an invitation into her world, extended to those of us who were either exiled from or denied entry into kingdoms that valued hyper-masculinity and conformity. and visitors are greeted with the song’s refrain, “give me body!,” an invitation into her world and community.

GO WEST | PET SHOP BOYS

originally recorded and released by queer disco group the village people in 1979, “go west” is an unapologetic rallying cry about gay freedom and migration to san francisco. english synth-pop queer duo pet shop boys’ 1993 cover was hopeful and reflective in its yearning for acceptance and community. a theme that resonated emotionally during immense loss during the height of the AIDS crisis.

FREE HAPPY & GAY | THE COMING OUT CREW

in the 1990s, as LGBTQ+ culture continued to gain mainstream visibility, the coming out crew’s 1995 exuberant dance track “free, gay and happy” captured the unwavering power of queer joy and hope. written and performed by renowned vocalist sabrina johnston, “free, gay and happy” became a club hit in both the US and UK.

3 mass shootings across the U.S. leave dozens killed or wounded this weekend

A string of shootings left at least six people dead and nearly three dozen others wounded in Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Tennessee this weekend, a spasm of gun violence that came as the nation continues mourning the lives lost in mass shootings last month in Buffalo, N.Y., and Uvalde, Texas.

In Pennsylvania, police say multiple shooters fired into a crowd late Saturday night on South Street, a famous Philadelphia drag known for its nightlife, character and vibrancy. Authorities said three people were killed by the gunfire, and at least 11 others were wounded. Police said multiple handguns were recovered at the scene, but no arrests have been made.สลอต

SERIOUS NON LEAFS LAWRENCEPOSTING

A couple days ago I was out in the city with my friend Elie sitting at a Venezuelan fast food spot after hopping between a couple bars, throwing down fruity cocktails and and old fashioneds all the same, punctuating the Galaga and Tetris games I got my ass kicked in at the arcade bar and the hilariously crude dirty covers at the dueling piano bar. It must have been three in the morning; I’ve never been the kind of person to spend a night in the city, but as I’ve grown into an adult I’ve found a certain love for it.

I grew up in the rural nothing of the American Midwest, where the closest largest metropolitan areas were a three hour drive either north or south, and a fun evening out consisted of cracking open a bottle of Crown Royal while listening to the cicadas scream and watching the fireflies dance and accompany the stars and moon; there is a serendipity to that, but it is a deeply asocial exercise, save for the four or five people you’d be laying on the grass with.

Partially because of that (with other factors playing a role, surely), I have found myself with a deep, yearning love for people, without the vocabulary necessary to connect to them — this is why I have been filling journals until moon gives way to sun for years, writing until my hands turn numb — and I suppose it makes sense that people don’t make any sense when you never see them.

Salt Lake City is, by the anecdotes of my more urban, well travelled friends, a child’s playground compared to the chaos of Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia (and I have fond memories of the lattermost, having spent many summers there with my family), but it has been the backdrop against which I have been able to first experience the shenanigans that young adulthood brings — what young adulthood *should* bring, at least.

I moved out to Utah after the sudden passing of my mother, escaping a world I thought I would live an entire life and die in, and I despised it. The culture made no sense to me (it still doesn’t, honestly), the religious influence over the government felt draconian, and other than the otherworldly mountain view, I found myself in this foreign land where I knew nobody and carried the burdens of a man much older with the back of a child.

I hated it here. I spent my first months here dreaming of the day I would return to the Midwest, or spread my wings and set roots on the east coast where I made so many memories as a kid and knew more people than anywhere else.

But it’s impossible to stay that bitter and angry forever. I joined a chorus in the city and strained myself to make an effort to be sociable, and was rewarded in turn with a new circle of friends, Elie chief among them. I travelled around the state to see topographical features I had only ever seen in textbooks prior to living out here. I made runs to Colorado to surreptitiously acquire the goods Colorado is known for (if you know, you know).

I signed my name on my first ever lease. I started working out and, every once in a while, not eating like a garbage disposal. These sorts of things stack up on you, and while the day to day improvements might not be noticeable, one day you look in the mirror and you see a face and soul entirely unrecognizable from the one you saw six months ago.

Yes, I even found the time to take a stab at dating, with all of the supreme highs of walking on an empty beach on the Great Salt Lake hand in hand and feeling a peace I had never felt in my life, and the subsequent rock in the stomach feeling when things came to an end. It is a supreme luxury to have the time for these sorts of things, given where I came from.

From that you experience the day by day triumphs of surviving heartbreak, and healing from it, and experiencing the nightlife of a major American city for the first time in your life.

And so that’s how I ended up at a Venezuelan pub food joint, at 3am, sitting next to a beautiful mural of the country, listening to my good friend talk about the country he called home until geopolitical unrest forced him and his family to flee when he was just four years old. A strange age to remember your homeland, he told me. Just old enough to have memories of it, but not enough to identify with it.

He wove yarns, with a glint in his eye, about the beauty of Angel Falls and Caracas in the west, and the world of baseball (I asked about this) in the east, and the unmarred-by-Western-industrial-development jungles of the south where the indigenous population lived.

He lamented, glint turned into tears, that he would never get to see his grandmother again, who remained in Venezuela, and asked to nobody in particular how to square the circle of grieving somebody that was still alive.

Tears turned to laughter as he explained the empanada I was currently demolishing, and the Venezuelan soda I was sipping on that he had been enjoying since before I was born, and that Venezuelans took great pride in their Miss World/America pageant winners (the likes of which were all hanging in the rafters of the establishment).

We hailed a Lyft back to his apartment around 4 in the morning, and standing on the street corner, no more than ten feet away from several kebab vendors, with drunk club goers stumbling arm in arm with one another, I realized I had never seen this many people in one place before back home — and this was just a random street corner on a Friday night, in a city not exactly known for being exciting.

I recognized, with great excitement, how much left there was for me to know about being a human being, and how many stories were left to hear and to write myself.

This city and this state has been where I have known freedom for the first time in my life. It took a while, but finally, an authentic empanada and the eerily relatable tale of a good friend ripped away from home, and the nostalgia he felt, opened my eyes to a view of the world I hadn’t been able to have. There are so many parties to throw, laughs to be had, and tears left to shed. And there can be joy found anywhere you find yourself.

Is Utah *home*? Unsure. But, after a year and a half, I’m not fighting that fact anymore, and after the life I’ve lived, there might not be much difference between the two.
