LGBTQ+ COLUMNS HOTEL ©Justen Williams QUEER GRRLSPOT WOMEN-FRIENDLY EVENTS IN THE CITY Queer women are sometimes not the target audience for LGBTQ+ events, so we have highlighted a few in the city that are especially popular within the lesbian and queer-femme community. ASCENDANCE This monthly dance party is an infusion of soulful music, visual art, spiritual practices, and communal affirmation. Ascendance provides a safe and inclusive experience, welcoming all ethnic, gender, and sexual identities while centering Black and Brown cultures.

They host monthly dance parties with DJs and go-go dancers, and they often have burlesque performers.
