A Christmas to Remember

In 1992, Andy spent his first Christmas alone in a tiny 5x5 meter room. With only five pounds to his name, he cooked baked beans with mini sausages on a small stove, feeling the sting of rejection from a family that didn’t accept him for being gay. Loneliness felt overwhelming that day.

But that Christmas, he took a walk that changed everything. He discovered The Flying Handbag, a bar that welcomed anyone seeking warmth and connection. Billy, the bar manager, opened the doors every Christmas Day for anyone in need of a cup of tea, coffee, or just a friendly chat. Billy became a mentor and friend, teaching Andy how to fully embrace his true self.

Now, as drag mother Dorothy, Andy continues Billy’s legacy. This Christmas Day, join Mother Dorothy from 2 PM to 5 PM at Dorothy’s bar, bring your pets, and celebrate what truly matters: love, acceptance, and the family we choose.
