Hella Gay is back for November and this month we're celebrating the Scorpios in our lives- the passion, the focus, the drive, the bitterness, the secrecy, the STING!! So do your worst and bring your best and let's get stung!
It's a big, queer Hanukkah party with live music, Jewish drag queens, comedians, and more. As we grapple with the tragedy of the Ghost Ship fire, we hope this joyful gathering can be a source of light in a dark time. We will be taking donations at the door to benefit the Trans Assistance Project fund for Oakland Ghost Ship Fire.
So much to mourn, so much to celebrate. We will cry, we will cheer, we will scream, we will dance, and we will be. Looking forward to more sound and movement healing with you. It's a scary sad time right now, but YOU are some of the brightest bright spots in the universe. This will be a LOVE fest.
