Part of the Gay Detroit Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Detroit, Michigan
Multi-space queer lounge in downtown Royal Oak since 1991
Pronto has been Royal Oak's queer heartbeat since 1991, and it still bills itself exactly that way. The bar works as a triple-threat: a main bar, a dance floor, and the connected Five15 show space, all under the same ownership since Five15 bought Pronto in 2020. It's best known for the Grits & Glitter drag brunch, hosted by Victoria Sanchez with a rotating cast of Michigan performers, and it took home Metro Times' Best Gay Bar in 2023 plus Best Bar and Best Bar Food in 2025. The weekly calendar keeps it busy: VIP karaoke on Tuesdays, GAYME Night trivia on Wednesdays, drag later in the week, and DJs on weekends. Pronto leans hard into being a welcoming, safe space for the whole community, which is a big part of why it has stayed a Metro Detroit anchor for three decades.

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.

Every bear cruise from late 2026 to early 2028 — BearCruise, Bears On Deck, Adventure Bears and Arno's Bear Cruises — with ships, ports, real fares and what each group includes, from the operators' own sites.
