MIAMI BEACH PRIDE

EVENTS

04-16-23

Moments from the 15th annual Miami Beach Pride Parrade at Ocean Drive. A newly elected member of the Florida House of Representatives for the 106th disctrict Fabián Basabe makes an appearance at the Parade only to be booed by the Parade-goers. A few bottles fly towards his convertible while he tries to talk to the crowd with his hand on his chest. One of his bodyguards physically shoves me towards the barricades telling me to stay away and that he’s not going to repeat himself again. According to Miami New Times, Basabe has gotten into hot water with the Florida LGBTQ community after “backtracking on 2022 campaign promises by voting in favor of the “Don’t Say Gay” expansion bill and failing to enter a vote on the state’s six-week abortion ban.” An LGBTQI activist Linda Riley mentions in her IG post that one of the festival’s performers Keeana Kee‘s lyrics were censored because of Florida’s anti-LGBTQ legislation.

The Task Force and Retro Factory Raise $20K to Combat Violent Rhetoric and Anti-LGBTQ Legislation

THE NATIONAL LGBTQ TASK FORCE

& RETRO FACTORY:

REVENGE OF THE NERDS

BOXERS HK

NIGHTLIFE

12-08-22

Last Thursday night a group of nerds and nerd-lovers descended on Boxers HK to raise money for the National LGBTQ Task Force that directly combats violent rhetoric and anti-LGBTQ legislation. The Task Force teamed up with an event organizer Retro Factory to put on an exciting party filled with dance flash-mobs, raffles, an auction, and performances by a Brooklyn-based drag king Sweaty Eddie. The goal to raise $16,000 was superseded by the night’s end.

Queens-based drag artist Glow Job who closely works with the Task Force and Retro Factory explains why this fund-raiser is so timely and important: “After the shooting at Club Q, we need to step up even more and continue to protect ourselves . . . hopefully, our donations will help to end these attacks on our community.”

Evan Davidoff, a yoga instructor and a senior manager for major gifts at the Task Force says: “The National LGBTQ Task Force and Retro Factory teamed up for a queer radical holiday fundraiser with a nerdy twist: Revenge of the NERDS! Together they launched the first event of the Task Force’s NY Emerging Leaders Network: a group to engage LGBTQ folks in NYC who want to be a part of the Task Force’s radical queer fundraising efforts. The National LGBTQ Task Force is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary! They have been the voice of the progressive movement in the LGBTQ community and the LGBTQ voice in the progressive movement since 1973. To support their work to advance liberation, justice, and equality for queer people everywhere we came together and raised approximately $20,000!“

DIGNA’S

BALIKBAYAN BOX

RITZ BAR

NIGHTLIFE

09-09-22

Filipino drag artist Digna has been a resident performer at Hell’s Kitchen’s Ritz Bar since 2017. “I was mostly hosting their weekend and Dragrace viewing parties until I eventually started my own,” says Digna who has been doing drag for over a decade. Digna currently hosts two successful events at Ritz- a weekly party called Bad Bitch, and a monthly all-Filipino drag cast show called Balikbayan Box.

Diva Soria, Bombalicious Eklaver by way of DC, and Mancie Mandell were the latest cast of the all-Filipino drag show. “I’m very proud of Balikbayan Box,” says Digna, “because it’s a way for me to bring the Filipino LGBTQIA+ community and its allies together through drag, right here, in NYC.”

NIGHTLIFE

08-25-22

Every last Thursday of the month, Queens-based drag artist Glow Job takes over Williamsburg’s Ciao Ciao venue to curate a queer night called Glow Di Notte. It’s filled with lewks, creative but affordable cocktails, and disco dancing. A special guest co-hosts every event and during August’s installment of the party, Glow Job asked Sidewalkkilla to be one of them. So we decided to install a photo booth inspired by a disco ball. Peep a few of our favorite portraits below and more via link below.

On Thursday, September 29, Glow Job will be co-hosting Glow Di Notte with Harrison Diaz, Mike Trotter will be spinning, Wilsonmodels will be taking photos, and Adam Dishian will be celebrating his birthday. Cover-free doors open at 9 PM.
