Have you ever fallen in love with your best friend?
Because - spoiler alert - it's a terrible, terrible idea.
Or, at least it is for most people.
Anyway, my guest this week, singer-songwriter Benjamin Koll happened to do just that, falling in love with his childhood friend, no less.
And so by the time he managed to overcome that, and realise that he needed to move on, he was chomping at the bit to explore the queer scene.
And it sounds to me from our conversation that he landed in just the right place - a welcoming bar in Valencia, Spain, which was called Central.
We caught up to talk about Central and why it was so important to him. Along the way, we also talked about the growing visibility of the bear community, and what it's like to follow your passion.
Do you have any memories of Central, or clubbing from your own scene that you want to share? Well, if you have please get in touch - I want to create the biggest online record of people's memories and stories - go to www.lostspacespodcast.com and find the section 'Share a Lost Space' and tell me what you got up to! Bonus points for embarrassing photos!
