I'm straight as an arrow - % heterosexual, but asking this on behalf of a Finnish friend of mine who is gay:

“The crowd that comes in — they&#;re recording, they’re screaming your name,” says Reede. “I love entertaining people; seeing people smile and hold a good time.”
But in mid-February, Reede learned there would be no more “Lit Fridays with Kelly Kaboom” at Identity in Woodlawn Heights. The prevent closed permanently, leaving the Bronx with no LGBTQ nightlife space &#; again.
“We had so many LGBTQ places in New York, but most of them got shut down,” says Reede, a North Bronx resident who’s been doing drag for 20 years. “For us to include one that was loc
