ABOUT TEA DANCES:  Tea Dances originated in New York in the 1950’s as a place where gay singles could meet. At the time, NYC police would conduct raids on bars where they knew alcohol would be served to the LGBTQ+ community, so instead, they renamed these parties into “teas.“

MRS. P’S HISTORY: While first opened in 1956 by Vera Phillips, by the late 1960’s, Mrs. P’s transitioned into Atlanta’s first openly LGBTQ+ bar, known as the leather and western gay bar. Mrs. P’s was one of the first safe places for LGBTQ+ residents until a final police raid in the early 1980’s. Additionally, Atlanta’s drag pioneer, Diamond Lil, began her career performing at Mrs. P’s.
