Hey everyone! 👋

We are officially 35 days away from the kickoff of Winter Pride, happening February 15–22, and we are SO excited! 🎉

We’ve got these awesome Winter Pride posters and I’d love for you to have one — for your business, your workplace, or anywhere you want to help spread the word.

📍 I’ll be at The Wet Spot Pool Bar and Day Club, Sunday, January 11th starting at 11a.
📍 Or you can grab one during the week, stop by to see us at Zazoo'd.

Can’t make it? No problem. DM me, text me, or email me and I’m happy to drop one off to you.

Let’s celebrate our city together! 💖❄️🏳️‍🌈

On The Big Gay After Show, the crew kept things moving with stories including Donald Trump auctioning a painting of Jesus, California banning cat declawing, Avatar crossing the billion-dollar mark, an Arkansas pastor’s racist comments, and the swearing-in of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
