“It did not feel like a safe space.”
Location: H Street NE
Time: Night (7:30pm-12am)
My girlfriend and I were asked to leave Little Miss Whiskey’s by the owner for kissing in the bar last night.
I’m not sure it was explicitly homophobic, but it was pretty uncomfortable to be told that we weren’t welcome and should “get a room, or do that where folks shouldn’t have to see.” We weren’t being overtly sexual and neither of us were super drunk or anything.
It did not feel like a safe space.
