Everyone knows queers love to party. But the dance floor isn’t just a place to dance and make out with friends – it’s where you go to be with your community and connect with your queer ancestors. DJ Gemma and Ken Davis talk about the battles they fought to create the dance floors we get to dance on today.
I was voguing, and I was just feeling myself so fiercely, but I felt so safe in that moment because I knew no one else around me was judging.Xander
The word gay was seen as a dirty word. We weren't accepted by society. We fought really hard for gay rights and Mardi Gras was born out of that. It was a political movement, it was grassroots, it came from the streets.DJ Gemma
