In her years of coming to Cubbyhole, Lentz has had her own brushes with fame. 'This space lends itself to conversations because it's so small that you're going to interact, and you're going to talk, and you're going to meet people of all age ranges, women, people of color, trans women.' 'To me, where Stonewall's an iconic amazing bar that I own and am happy to represent, this was a very 'Cheers'-like neighborhood local, lesbian hang-out. While Lentz certainly spends plenty of time down the street at Stonewall, she said that Cubbyhole has its own distinct - and valuable - feeling. They don't sit there and talk to somebody who's making under $30,000 a year.' 'I think a lot of our leaders don't have those conversations. 'I love sitting here and talking to the average gay, lesbian, queer woman about the issues that affect that cause,' Lentz said.
Lentz is a queer activist and is the CEO of the Stonewall Initiative. Lentz said that she's been coming to Cubbyhole for 20 years, and was good friends with Saunders. Juliana Kaplan/Libertina Brandt/Business Insider
