Manchester’s hottest new LGBTQ club night brings generations together

Partying with 500 lesbians, aged 18 to 70

Dear readers — Welcome to your midweek briefing. For today’s story, Shannon is back on the LGBTQ beat following her piece on whether Manchester Pride should be a party or a protest; this time, she attends an intergenerational lesbian event inspired by a legendary Haçienda club night in the early 90s. When the Gay Village often feels like it caters more to hen dos than queer clientele, community-organised meetups like the Summer of Lesbian Love 2.0 can offer LGBTQ people of all ages something radically different.

Join the party down below. But first, the news.
