The Tragic Haunting of the Upstairs Lounge
Manage episode 423540335 series 3446481
On this week's episode, I am telling you about the horrific attack on the Upstairs Lounge in New Orleans. A gay bar where 29 people burned to death and three later died from their injuries, making it the worst loss of homosexual life in the country until the Pulse nightclub attack. This one is rough, graphic, terrifying, and heartbreaking, but it is so important to remember these people who were lost to history because of who they loved and the bigots that were against them.
Join me as I delve into the history, the tragic events of that night, the community's response, and the hauntings that followed. We will also discuss the importance of remembering these stories and the significance of Pride Month. Grab yourself a dollar for beer bust, make sure the doors are locked and a loved one is close by. I have a story to tell you.
