CHLOE “CLO” LOR

Bartender, the Stud (which recently closed its location)

Every single Pride, I’ve been bartending. I was at the Lexington prior to the Stud, and it’s just nuts. The Lexington really helped me evolve into my dykehood, and at the Stud I’ve more come into my transness. This Pride was going to be super important to me because it was going to be my first Pride identifying as trans. It’s kind of a double-edged sword that I don’t get to do those things or celebrate the way I wanted to.
