It's also a chance for non-Burners to get a taste of what the gay parties are like out there, any month of the year. While GlamCocks parties tend to skew a bit younger and twinkier, Mystopia attracts a range of party boys from their 20s to their 30s, a majority of whom are game for the costume demands each month, as if they were on the playa. Case in point: Mystopia, which started throwing occasional, costume-themed parties in SoMa about a year and a half ago and now can fill Great Northern whenever they decide to throw one. But if what you need is to dance your face off, you can generally find ways to do that as a gay person here just about any week of the year.Ī trend in gay nightlife of the last couple years has been the infiltration of Burning Man camps throwing monthly benefit parties for themselves, the organizers of which have now become some of the city's most popular party promoters. The early part of the week remains kind of quiet (with one notable exception for showmos), and a number of the more popular affairs are monthlies these days. So, in honor of Pride Week ( see our Pride guide here), I bring you an updated look at the gay scene as it stands. It's been a minute since SFist has run down the coolest lesbigay clubs and parties around town, and a few things have closed and ended and some others have popped up since we last did.
