Leslie Cohen talks about her new must-read memoir “The Audacity of a Kiss: Love, Art and Liberation” with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ that's published by Rutgers University Press. This is an important read that tells the historic love story of a gay woman who broke through the oppressive roles expected for women in the 1950's and 1960's and came out on top in the 1970's. Not only for women but remember in the 1950's being LGBTQ was illegal and listed as an illness by the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). It was not until 1973 that the American Psychiatric Association (APA) finally removed the diagnosis of “homosexuality” from the second edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). It was at this time that Cohen with three of her friends Michelle Florea, Linda Goldfarb and Barbara Russo created New York City's first upscale women's club Sahara that showcased women in art, politics and music. From May of 1976 to December of 1979 on Manhattan's fashionable Upper East Side Sahara was the first club fronted by lesbian women instead of being controlled by Mafia Bosses. Creating a safe space for women attracted many celebrities and luminaries of the era including Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Pat Benatar, Ntozake Shange, Rita Mae Brown, Adrienne Rich, Patti Smith, Bella Abzug, Jane Fonda to name a few who performed and held special events at Sahara. This led to Leslie and her partner Beth Suskin becoming the models in 1979 for the iconic sculpture “Gay Liberation” in Greenwich Village that commemorates the Stonewall Riots and was declared a national monument by President Obama in 2016. We talked to Leslie about how Sahara changed the course of her life and her spin on the future of our LGBTQ civil rights.  Leslie Cohen has been a museum curator, a nightclub owner and promoter, a limousine driver and a lawyer, as well as a writer whose work has appeared in such publications as Curve and The New York Times Style Magazine. Now retired she and her wife Beth live in Miami, Florida with their cat Birdie. For More Info… LISTEN: 500+ LGBTQ Chats @OUTTAKE VOICES

LESLIE COHEN, is someone you might’ve often seen, but not necessarily have known it was her. She and her partner of 44 years, Beth Suskin, sit out in front of Stonewall in NYC, all day everyday. They were the models that posed for George Segal in 1979 and are immortalized in the sculptures at Christopher Park in front of Stonewall. Segal, despite being a highly established artist at the time, had a hard time finding models brave enough to pose for the statues that would commemorate the 1969 Stonewall Riots which marked the birth of the gay liberation movement. Leslie was also one of the 5 women who in 1976, created the first club owned and operated for women, by women, the legendary Sahara, at 1234 Second Ave at 65th street.This was no small feat then. Or even now. Then, it provided a safe haven from the seedy gay nightlife which was wholly run by and exploited by the mafia. It was a time when it was difficult for women to even obtain a state liquor license to open such a business, where a husband or father were required to sign the necessary legal documents. Sahara was a new vision for a women’s space, elevated, celebratory, and above-ground.Leslie brought her sensibilities having worked in the art world to bring to it its salon-like vibe, which would attract celebrities who appeared or performed there such as... Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, Patti Smith, Pat Benatar, Nona Hendryx, Warren Beatty, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, and Elaine Noble, the first openly gay state Representative.Her legacy of contributing to our community and history is rich, and it is rooted in love. Foremost. Love for her Beth, and love for her community. Leslie has just published her memoir “The Audacity of a Kiss, Love Art & Liberation” through Rutgers University Press which will be out Fall/Winter of 2021/2022.You can also find out more about Sahara online at storiesofsahara.comSupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=gwDpOtSRwr2aN0exTy_FAa_lOm9kam0ka6yS_nYth-cILmRaxBLCsx2hKMRqebud8Qy7gG&country.x=US&locale.x=US)

Leadership Lounge with Marlowe Foster Today Leslie Cohen joins us in the Leadership Lounge.  Leslie is a former candidate for NC State House and current candidate for the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners.  She shares with us her upbringing, her passion for public service and what she intends to focus on if elected to the County Board.  

Our panel of top female executives including Marcella Barrière of Google, Leslie Cohen of Samuels & Associates, Reesa Fischer from NAIOP, and Lauren Vecchione from Colliers International discuss their experiences in the historically male-dominated CRE industry. Dr. Patti Fletcher, author of Disruptors: Success Strategies From Women Who Break the Mold, is also on hand to provide additional insight on how all women in business can break through the proverbial glass ceiling.

Leslie Cohen talks with Emmy Winner Charlotte Robinson host of OUTTAKE VOICES™ about the legendary nightclub for women Sahara that she established with three of her friends in May of 1976 to December of 1979 at 1234 Second Avenue at East 65th Street on Manhattan’s fashionable Upper East Side. Cohen, Michelle Florea, Linda Goldfarb and Barbara Russo created New York City’s first upscale women’s club that showcased women in art, politics and music. On Thursday night the line went around the block when both men and women were invited in for political fundraisers and cabaret. Celebrities such as Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, Patti Smith, Pat Benatar, Warren Beatty, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug and Elaine Noble, the first openly gay state Representative from Massachusetts appeared or performed there. This led to Leslie and her partner Beth Suskin becoming the models for the iconic sculpture “Gay Liberation,” in Greenwich Village which commemorates the Stonewall riots and was declared a national monument by President Obama in 2016. We talked to Leslie about how Sahara changed the course of her life and her spin on the future of our LGBTQ civil rights. When asked what the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots means to her Cohen stated, “First of all it’s a celebration of how far we’ve come and it’s also a reminder of how precarious the rights that we have achieved have become under Trump who is consistently chipping away at everything we have fought for over the last 50 years. So this reminder is very important now to remind people to educate young people about how difficult it was and how much everyone has to fight for what we now have. I know the New York Historical Society, because I have been working with them, is putting together a major exhibition of Stonewall 50 and I would really encourage people to go. It’s going to have a section on Sahara which makes me very happy because it’s so important to know our history and to make sure our history is recorded and to continue pressuring for equal rights for ourselves and not only for ourselves now but for trans people who were so instrumental in Stonewall and the early gay rights movement because they were courageous and brave. We should also be very vigilant because these rights can be taken away. It’s important to stay visible and it’s important to be out there. Write your books, tell your stories, make sure that we are part of history and people can refer to it especially young people. This is so important for young people to see that there are many gays and lesbians who fought for their rights and have found joy and happiness. I’m happy being a lesbian. I’ve had a lot of joy and a lot of fun and I want young people to know that. I have found love. I’ve been with my now wife for 42 years and it’s possible. You will find happiness.”  Leslie Cohen moved to Miami to practice law in 1992 and is now retired. She has just finished a memoir about her life during the time of Sahara, the creation and controversy over the “Gay Liberation” sculpture and her enduring love affair with her partner and now wife of 42 years, Beth.For Info: nycpride.org LISTEN: 500+ LGBTQ Chats @OUTTAKE VOICES
