For The Love Of Whiskey

One sip of whiskey is all it takes to be transported into a cozy, romantic setting. Preferably with a half-naked, sexy man by your side ready to share your passion for the dark spirits. That’s likely not exactly what you’ll find at Whiskey Riot 2026, but more than 150 different whiskies sure sounds like an intoxicating alternative. Whether you like […]

Schkittlebünken Hepperføoof

If the headline’s not clue enough, maybe you better hold onto your meatballs. Because today, the first-ever IKEA in Dallas proper has its grand opening at The Shops at Park Lane.

All That Glitters Is Not Necessarily Mariah

When a group of gay men gets together, expect plenty of drama. But even more laughter. The Texas premiere of Pure Glitter from Uptown Players at the Kalita Humphreys Theater promises that and more.

Travel Tuesday: Fiesta San Antonio Returns For A Gay Old Time (And A Straight One, Too!)

We write about a lot of Pride events all over the world here at He Said Dallas. But sometimes a passion for parties and parades can celebrate being proud about something besides the LGBTQ+ community.
