Lost Spaces: Memories from Gay Bars, Lesbian Clubs, and LGBTQ+ Parties • Klozet, Paceville, St. Julian's, Malta (with Chucky Bartolo) • Listen on Fountain
Klozet, Paceville, St. Julian's, Malta (with Chucky Bartolo)
It is frequently listed as the most progressive country in Europe for LGBTQIA+ rights, but what is life really like for queer people in Malta?
What’s it like spending all your savings on drag?
How could your parents not realise you're gay when your they world's biggest Mariah Carey fan?
I found the answer to these questions (and more!) when I caught up with drag queen, stand-up comedian and writer Chucky Bartolo to reminisce about Klozet, a beloved lost gay bar in Malta.

How do queer spaces help to shape people's lives?
Why are they so important to the LGBTQ+ community?
What is the impact of losing these spaces?
Lost Spaces explores these questions (and more!) through conversations with members of the LGBT community.
Each week host K Anderson sits down with a different guest to discuss a space from their past, why it was important to them, and how it helped shape who they are.
Expect conversations about coming out, going out, and getting down.
And snogging strangers on sweaty dancefloors. We can't talk about gay history without that coming up.
