It was better when it was at Casey's on NW Couch. Lots of straight people go now just to gawk from the sidelines, seeing "what the gays are wearing this month". Line to get in is 400 feet long, too.

Blow Pony @ Bossanove Ballroom – A fabulous gay dance series created in 2007 due to a callout in the local queer community for unity and a place where all our sisters, brothers, others and allies felt safe, welcomed and loved. Their concerns are earth liberation, animal liberation, queer liberation, womens liberation, trans liberation, indigenous peoples’ liberation and searching the dumpsters for more trash! The recurring LGBTQ-based event is among Portland’s most popular, drawing 800 people regularly, and sometimes as many as 2,000 people. All-inclusive, all-fabulous, Blow Pony takes place on the last Saturday of every month and is one queer event in Portland you should not miss!
