This photograph was made at activist Rikki Streicher's legendary San Francisco lesbian bar Amelia's on assignment for Rack Productions, who produced erotic events for the lesbian community in the late 1980s. It was published in the ground-breaking lesbian magazine "On Our Backs." Cohen writes: "Thursday nights upstairs was where Rack Productions had all their hot, sexy, get down extravaganza events! Madonna's 'Like a Virgin' was vibrating in our bones and running through our veins and with a few drinks we lit up all of San Francisco with our queer selves."
