Cruising | A Queer Documentary Podcast
Slammers | Columbus, OH
Slammers is a lesbian bar in Columbus, OH known for their pizza and their motto, "all walks, one groove." These are the stories of the humans that run Slammers and the humans that call Slammers a home.
Marcia Riley founded Slammers in 1993. Deb Gordon met Marcia in a paint store that same year, and has been her "wing-man" ever since. Bobbi Moore went from working in social work to managing a bar. And all three of them know that Slammers is a place for family--both chosen and biological.
