THE BRIEFING
COMMUNITY × GLOBAL NEWS · 5 STORIES
01
The Met Gala was gay as hell.

Connor Storrie hit Monday's carpet in a Saint Laurent polka-dotted halter and Hudson Williams arrived in a 1947-matador-inspired Balenciaga with exposed chest — anchoring a queerer-than-usual front row at fashion's biggest night.

02
Today is Trans+ History Day.

May 6 marks the anniversary of the 1933 Nazi raid on Berlin's Institut für Sexualwissenschaft — the world's first transgender clinic — destroyed in the first Nazi book burning. San Antonio just became the first US city to officially proclaim Trans+ History Week.

03
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is "better than the original".

Meryl, Anne, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt reunited for the May 1 sequel — fans flooded socials calling it the rare follow-up that surpasses the first, and it pulled $233M globally in opening weekend.

04
DC Black Pride turns 35.

The world's original Black Pride returns May 21–25 with a "New Black Renaissance" theme, Durand Bernarr headlining, and five days of programming centered on Black LGBTQ+ artists, healers, and organizers.

05
Eurovision lands in Vienna with the first Queer Safe Space in ESC history.

"Queers in the Garden" runs May 13–16 at Volksgarten Pavillon — daytime queer hub, nightly clubbings, public viewings of the semis and Saturday's final.

VISIT PUERTO VALLARTA
OUR CITY OF THE WEEK

Puerto Vallarta is the gay capital of Mexico — one of the densest gayborhoods in the Americas, packed into a few sun-drenched blocks of the Romantic Zone (Zona Romántica). Start your night with a cocktail at La Cantina, drift over to Mr. Flamingo or La Noche for a few more, and no night in PV is complete without a stop at Industry and walking out of Paco's Ranch as the sun comes up — after full-production drag shows and the kind of warm chaos that makes new friends to pair with old ones.

A few blocks down, the gay beach is lined with options: Blue Chairs Resort owns the sand with beachfront service and a sunset rooftop, Mantamar Beach Club is where the daytime pool-party energy lives, and Casa Cupula sits up the hill with drag shows, a clothing-optional pool, and the best view of the bay.

▸ TOP VENUES
Mr. Flamingo

The Romantic Zone party institution — open-front tiki bar where the dance floor spills onto Lázaro Cárdenas, packed nightly with the kind of energy that turns strangers into friends by midnight.

VIEW VENUE ➔
La Noche

Multi-floor must-see landmark — main-floor drag at 9pm rolling into go-go boys at midnight, plus an open-air rooftop garden with city and mountain views.

VIEW VENUE ➔
The Corner Bar

Queer-owned cocktail bar — voted PV's #1 martini spot, signature cocktails, plaza-front seating, comfy couches, and shirtless bartenders ready to add a bit of polish to your night out.

VIEW VENUE ➔
Industry

The must-hit dance club — front bar packing in by 11, then a massive back dance floor with two-story ceiling, go-go platforms, and circuit energy until close.
