Presented by the Stonewall National Women’s Fund, the exhibit “Sahara: NYC’s Lesbian Legacy,” runs from February 28 through April 5 at Stonewall National Museum and Archives in Fort Lauderdale. Sahara was a groundbreaking lesbian bar which opened on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in 1976. One of the bar’s founders, Leslie Cohen (who passed in March 2022) was a nearly 30-year resident of Miami, along with her wife Beth Suskin (who passed in 2025). Cohen’s memoir, “The Audacity of a Kiss: Love, Art and Liberation,” was published by Rutgers University Press in 2021.
