The politics in Arlington, Texas suck. But that shouldn’t shock anyone who lives in this dreadfully conservative state of ours. That means it’s up to us to support the queer communities in cities across Texas more than ever. And what better way to ensure we don’t fade into the shadows than being loud, proud and full of mimosas. This Sunday, […]
Did somebody pop the big question this past weekend? And not, “Can we open up our relationship?” The other big question. If you’re engaged, thinking about getting engaged, wish to renew your vows, or simply spy from the corners on loving couples to see what makes them click, this weekend’s 2025 LGBTQ+ Wedding Expo has your name written all over […]
We know it’s only Tuesday, but sometimes we start dreaming of the weekend early. Several times each month we showcase the best places to eat, whether they’re brand-new or longtime favorites. We keep a running list, but sometimes we wake up in the middle of the night realizing we missed an obvious recommendation. That’s the case this week with The […]
The end of Carnival season draws nigh. Sigh. The weeks leading up to Mardi Gras always rank high on our list. As if we ever need an excuse to be crazy and embrace new levels of debauchery. Well, it all comes to an end tomorrow for those of you who give up something for Lent. We’ll watch from the sidelines […]

This Saturday night, you have your choice of two holidays to celebrate. Both Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras take center stage, so choose to participate in one or both! We’re more Team Mardi Gras personally. So, skip the waxy chocolate covered strawberries and overpriced roses from the Kroger parking lot and opt instead to commemorate Fat Tuesday a few days […]
Few parties for someone turning 15 would ever be on our radar. But, when we’re taking about the 15th Gay Wine Weekend, that’s cause for celebration. We missed last year’s, but this iconic Sonoma County event each summer remains one of our favorite queer weekends ever. This year’s event uncorks from July 17-19 and returns to the Sonoma Valley, site […]
Before you get too excited about a room full of naked men boasting a full seven inches, you should probably know the fine print. First, the nudity involved is sculptural. As in actual three-dimensional sculpture measuring around 7 inches tall, depending on the pose. You’ll get your choice of three types of naked men (bears, cowboys, or jocks) during the […]
We’ve had a helluva week. Man, this one was rough. But the show must go on and we’ve got an amazing event to write about. Or more accurately, an amazing event to haiku about. Here goes! Eggs, sperm, IVF.Athena and Juicy Dion.Parenthood partay. If that’s too vague, here’s Mr. Flyer: Families Out LoudSaturday, February 79:30 p,m. Meet and GreetFree entry […]
Do something once and you’ve maybe started something special. Do something thirty times, however, and you’ve definitely created a can’t-miss tradition known the world over. This year, Texas Bear Round-Up (TBRU) presents its 30th edition and it’s going to be one for the history books. From March 12-15, join a sleuth of bears (did you know that’s what a group […]
