Embracing community at a drag bingo show in rural Wales
November 9, 2022 1:09 PM   Subscribe

That night, I felt community so strongly, from the folks who came to the venue hours earlier to help move tables and hang fairy lights, to the people who’d travelled from neighbouring towns to be there, to the pal who made sure there were virgin mojitos on offer after I’d spoken to her weeks before about how I’ve been struggling with alcohol again. I felt part of something bigger which made me reflect on what that actually means. People often talk about rest and joy being found in ‘community’, but what is it and how do we find it as adults?

A beautiful post from UK magazine gal-dem on the meaning and possibilities of community during and after Covid, with a magical night at rural Welsh drag bingo as its springboard
