San Jose, California
Downtown food hall and home of the monthly Pride drag brunch
SoFA Market is a downtown food hall in the South First Area, gathering a handful of independent eateries around shared seating and the Fountainhead bar. Its LGBTQ+ tie is a standing one: Silicon Valley Pride runs a monthly Drag Brunch here on the first Sunday, with bottomless mimosas and a rotating cast of performers. The rest of the week it's a casual, all-ages spot for a quick meal in the middle of the SoFA arts and nightlife district — a useful daytime base before the bars a few blocks over open.

A calm, practical answer to every question first-timers actually have about gay bathhouses — how check-in works, the unwritten rules, what things cost, and why almost everyone there came alone.

The rainbow flag has meant something specific since 1978 — one word per stripe, assigned by the man who dyed the first one. What every color means, why two stripes are gone, and all the other flags.

Drag is an art form, not an identity, and what people assume about it is off. Here's what a drag queen actually is, where drag came from, what the job pays, and how the illusion gets built.
