"I'd Never Seen Any Lesbians... And Then I Saw ALL The Lesbians..." -with Naomi Mourra

If you love a good ol' fashioned leaving-my-hometown-to-find-myself story, then this week we've got a doozy.

Naomi Mourra, (who happens to be Sydney’s only Lebanese, lesbian, ex-Jehovah’s Witness, comedian), first came to London in the late 90s when she was trying to reconcile the thoughts she was feeling about women-folk with the teachings of her religion.

And, it was in London that she got to explore Soho's Candy Bar, a lesbian bar that first opened in 1996, but closed in 2014 due to rising rents in the area. Boo!

We talk all about the magic of London, finding your bearings in a new city, and wooly jumpers...

Do you have any memories of The Candy Bar, or clubbing from your own queer scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to! Bonus points for embarrassing photos!
