A salon for lesbians, queer women and their friends
Thursday 15 March 2018, 7pm
Dissenters Gallery in Stoke Newington
Join us for our second Women Have Taste evening where we welcome Charlie Kiss, author of ‘A New Man’. Charlie is a trans man, a former lesbian and activist at the anti-nuclear women’s peace camp – Greenham Common in the early 1980s. He was the first trans man to stand for Parliament, in 2015. He works in housing for local government and is based in East London.
“Imagine you are a proud lesbian and a feminist. You have the odd doubt about your sexuality but you understand how the male-dominated world works and are angry about it. You even go to prison to protest at the ultimate in male violence: nuclear weapons. Then one day, a shock realisation occurs that not only are you not a lesbian, but you are in fact, a man. Your world is turned upside down. This is Charlie’s story.”
WHaT is a safe, warm, welcoming and comfortable environment with a cash bar, occasional live entertainment, and plenty of time for chatting and chilling on the sofas at our very own venue, the stylish Dissenters’ Gallery in Stoke Newington (where else), St Matthias Halls, Wordsworth Road, N16 8DD, close to Dalston transport hubs.
Doors and cash bar 7pm.
Tickets £5.50 in advance here or £8 cash on the night.
We look forward to meeting you – Ruth and Mel
