Disco, born from the vibrant nightlife of 1970s urban America, became a sanctuary for the gay community around the world, offering an inclusive space for expression and liberation.
The pulsating beats, glittering aesthetics, and communal dance floors of discotheques celebrated diversity and nonconformity, fostering unity and resilience.
Today, the dancefloor continues to be a safe place of celebration and togetherness for queer communities all over the world, as Mardi Gras demonstrates locally on an annual basis.
Disco’s exuberance and defiance mirrors the gay community’s struggle for acceptance and equality, transforming the dance floor into a powerful arena of identity, joy, and resistance against societal oppression.
