00:00None of us reported it because there's just a reputation this place has.
00:03To this day we haven't talked about it, but we all know when this establishment's name comes up,
00:08we're like, yeah, I mean, we're not going there. I do like to just know what happened,
00:11and so I did try to figure it out for a while, but then, and that's why I had gone
00:16to different
00:16therapists and stuff, like trying EDMR or whatever, hypnosis, all these things, and it's just like,
00:21it's completely just, like, not there. Like, I try to think about it, and I try to even, like,
00:27I run it, like, that day through my head, like, from time to time, and I'm like, I just don't
00:31remember, and then now that I've worked with survivors, it's like, I've worked on, like,
00:35hotlines and stuff, and I hear them talk about it. I know exactly what they mean, because it's like,
00:39this whole part of your life, like, this crisis or just this part of your life is, like, a right,
00:44like, it's gone, but it did happen, but it's, like, it's not there. I feel like our communities,
00:49too, could do more in general. Like, I mean, I'm calling out, you know, City of West Hollywood and
00:54stuff when it comes to, like, that situation, but at the end of the day, this is, like, something even
00:57before my time that's been happening with people assaulting people. Because we're gay or, you know,
01:03lesbian, like, people automatically think, you know, only a man can beat a woman, you know, then
01:08the reverse of that can't happen, and then it definitely can't happen with, like, women and
01:12women and men and men, so I feel like we have this constant struggle of, like, we're trying to all
01:16acknowledge that DV and SA can happen amongst our spaces no matter what, but then we have this big
01:23establishment where they're still known as the Stonewall of the West and they're still known as a sanctuary.
