Cincinnati, Ohio
Northside's LGBTQ+ bar with goth, fetish nights, and Sunday karaoke.
Mixwells is a bar and discotheque on Spring Grove Avenue in Northside — Cincinnati's LGBTQ+ residential and nightlife neighborhood. The programming rotates through subcultures: Second Circle brings goth and industrial on Thursdays, NOIR runs first-Saturday dark dance nights, GET SOME does monthly nu metal, POWER UP! covers French house and nu disco, and QUENCH is a recurring fetish night. Sunday karaoke with Zack Prost rounds out the week. The space has a small stage, dark interior with flashing lights, and a large outdoor patio with a fire pit. Owner Danny Mixwells also runs cocktail-making classes on the side. Northside is home to several queer bars — Good Judy's, Tillie's, The Birdcage — and Mixwells sits in that ecosystem as the alternative and subcultural nightlife option.

We verified 32 LGBTQ+ campgrounds in the US, from 700-acre men's retreats in the Ozarks to a women-only resort in Michigan's Thumb. This guide covers every one we could verify from the campground's own website: who's welcome, what clothing optional means there, what you can sleep in, what it costs and when the season runs.

The Village People were created by a gay producer as a set of gay fantasy characters and launched to gay disco audiences, but the members themselves differ. Here is what each has said on the record, and the two readings of YMCA.
