A gay old time! - We had a fantastic time. The fruity drinks and Kentucky classic foods were delightful. Learning about the history of Kentucky's queer community was delightful. Who knew about the Black drag queen who ruled Lexington in the 1930s? Or Louisville's bourbon-drinking goat? It was amazing fun and we learned so much, too.

AMAZING - Hannah was absolutely amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a more endearing and beautiful soul to have guided us today. They are so passionate in every bit of what they taught us. The deep rooted and profound truth of our community and the hardships, but also joys and sense of community and unity was inspiring
