Lack of women’s venues in 1980s and early 90s
1985
When Inge first came out in the mid 80s “There was hardly anything in town, (for women), apart from the Matador (Lesbian Line discos). I didn’t go to the Nightingale much. I first socialised at the Jug approx. 1992, but it was very hard to get into the Jug, they weren’t particularly fond of women; they didn’t like lefty women”.
