i hope this is fun
I'm tired of being disappointed by the gay club parties in San Francisco. I mean, it's all pretty exotic to me, I don't claim to be an expert in the field. But I know what I like. I want parties with weird and exciting music, people who make their own costumes, wit, glamour, original fashion, and high 21st century camp. I oh–so–don't want predictability and style asphyxiation. When did so many gay men start dressing like conservative Republicans? I've been thinking about how gay men have become so boring since becoming a "normal" part of society a lot recently, partly because I'm reading Homos, by Leo Bersani. It's a very Act-Up kind of mid-90s diatribe against the de-gaying of gayness.
Anyway... This party at Deco looks like it has potential:
