Its Been A Long Ass Day Shirt

Its Been A Long Ass Day Shirt The Sports Bra doesn’t advertise itself as an explicitly lesbian space—in fact, one patron I talked to, who asked to remain nameless, expressed frustration that the Its Been A Long Ass Day Shirt Also,I will get this bar wasn’t more of an overt queer singles’ pick-up spot—but its message of support for the LGBTQ+ community and its many intersections is unambiguous, expressed through details like a Black Lives Matter sign posted to the right of the bar or a flowered wall-hanging exhorting patrons to Protect Trans Lives. Writer Frankie de la Cretaz, who covered the Sports Bra shortly after it opened in April, noted the timeliness of the Sports Bra’s trans-affirming nature, telling me, “The Sports Bra is a space that celebrates women’s sports—something that isn’t inherently trans exclusionary. Trans women play sports and women’s pro sports leagues have been the most inclusive of trans and non-binary players, with some leagues that have those players on current rosters. But I do think that in the currently political climate of legislation that attempts to exclude trans women and girls from women’s sports, it’s an important gesture for an establishment like The Sports Bra to explicitly states that they welcome and support people of all genders who both play and love women’s sports.”
