What do you picture when you think of King’s Road? The swinging 60s? Vivienne Westwood pioneering punk fashion? One notable establishment in this enclave of history that’s often forgotten about is Gateways, London’s longest-surviving lesbian club. Alongside a host of its patrons over the years, Sandi Toksvig highlights the legacy of the club from its original owner, who won it in a poker game, to its blossoming into a hotspot and safe space for lesbian life. From its signature green door to the risqué dance move that gives this film its name, Gateways was a crucial part of London’s queer history. In this charming and informative film, it’s celebrated in all its glory.
谈话撑起的一段历史，很有意义。1943-1985，伦敦的拉拉酒吧，绿色门后的地下室，女同性恋者被庇护。“她们在这里生活、相爱、跳舞、交谈、打架，被看到，感觉安全，能做自己”。绝对值得一块大大的蓝色铭牌。
Gateways Grind=姬情莎莎舞，哈哈哈哈，错过睡名人拉拉老来也是谈资。有好听口音的上层女孩和站街的妓女，甚至不出柜带着孩子来的母亲，绿门后面楼梯底下，这是1943-1985五花八门的女人在那个不想要她们的世界里的无阶级难民营。

“因为成绩太优秀剑桥大学发现我是拉拉后没有开除我，所以如果你要做同性恋，至少要聪明点！”——Sandi Toksvig
远近闻名的拉吧，不少名流都来这里放松。在这间酒吧，没有社会地位的比较，没有什么慕强不慕强，没有学历身材相貌焦虑，即使是《卡罗尔》的编剧，都曾在这里碰过壁，想请小姐姐喝酒却惨遭拒绝。这里，她们共同的身份只有一个：拉拉。拉拉群体题材纪录片真的好少，多拍拍吧，爱看！
