00:00Friends, I know you have made the same question as me and it's
00:03Where are the bars for lesbian, bisexual and queer women in Bogotá and Medellín?
00:08Why are there so few?
00:10Yes, in both cities could say that there are many bars gays, but they are all that.
00:15Bars for men gays.
00:16So that's why I'm not the only one who has asked why there are bars for us,
00:21women who want to take a drink with our friends
00:23or just to be with our partner without saying anything.
00:26Let's talk about this topic.
00:28We got serious and we asked the Association of Comerciantes and Empresarios LGBTI of Bogotá
00:33and they confirmed a little bit what we already knew.
00:36And it's that bars for lesbian, more or less.
00:38In fact, in Bogotá, there are only two knowns.
00:41One called La Esquina, which is literally in the corner of the Park of the Hippies.
00:46And another that is relatively new and that is called Leos Bar and that is in Chapinero.
00:51In Medellín, we could say that the thing is a little different because there are only two places.
00:55One that is called Teres, who is the of all life, who has been on the street 33.
01:00And another in the same location that is called Happy House and that is for a much more young people.
01:04But note that there are other topics, and it is that many of you will ask why there are so
01:10many bars for women and lesbianas.
01:12Although the party seems to be a banal, for a long time it was not.
01:15Because, for decades, those were the only spaces where people LGBTI could be able to express freely and feel safe.
01:23Incluso, many lesbian bars around the world were very important places in which there were different kinds of feminisms.
01:30And for us, at the end, we also became a place of respect where we don't want to be sexualized
01:34by the fact that we are with our partner.
01:36That's why in some bars, the income is only allowed for women.
01:39And you can see that, although the thing is not documented in Colombia, it turns out that in the United
01:43States yes.
01:44Resulta que en 2020, un grupo de cineastas se reunieron para recaudar contos para un documental que se llama El
01:50Proyecto de los Bares Lésbicos,
01:52que tenía como propósito establecer una relación.
01:55Y es el hecho de que en 1980 había cerca de 200 bares lésbicos en todo Estados Unidos y hoy
02:01en día solo quedan 21.
02:0221.
02:03Y eso que la mayoría de ellos todavía tiene problemas para seguir subsistiendo económicamente.
02:08Y miren que en el trailer del documental hablan de un tema muy interesante y es cómo la industria nocturna
02:13ha logrado capitalizar lo gay e incluso lo drag para que también sea de interés y de consumo de público
02:19heterosexual.
02:20Por eso es un tema muchísimo más amplio que nos daría para hablar en otro reel.
02:23En cambio, el universo lésbico es mucho más complejo porque lo habitan diferentes feminismos e incluso la necesidad de exclusividad.
02:31Lugares de lesbianas para lesbianas.
02:33Por entonces también nos dejan la gran pregunta de qué pasa con las mujeres bisexuales e incluso con las mujeres
02:38queer.
02:38Creo que la conclusión que podemos sacar de este video es que sí, nos hacen falta más lugares para mujeres
02:43lesbianas, bisexuales y queer.
02:44Y si ustedes conocen otros sitios diferentes a los que ya mencionamos en este video,
02:48por favor cuéntenos dónde están que los estamos buscando.
