Despite the German capital’s reputation as one of the best clubbing cities in the world, does it provide a hostile climate for lesbian parties? Why do gay parties successfully attract hordes while those that cater to female-identified and feminist aims seem to struggle more?

Earlier this year, the booking agency and party series Mint ceased its activities as a booking agency and series of parties, workshops and events devoted to promoting female-identifying artists.
