Amsterdam, Netherlands
Gay bar on Reguliersdwarsstraat with go-go boys and Latin dance nights
One of the biggest gay bars on Reguliersdwarsstraat, Amsterdam's main queer street. SOHO opened in 1999, closed briefly in 2010 when the original owner's company collapsed, and reopened in 2011. The interior is English pub-style — wood panelling, large mirrors — spread across two floors with a dance floor and cocktail bar upstairs. The weekly calendar runs Wednesday through Sunday: themed nights include Perra (a Latin night with live performances on Sundays), go-go boys and DJs on Thursdays, and DJ-driven dance nights on Fridays and Saturdays. Happy hour is 6 to 8pm. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. The multi-level layout and named party nights give it a club feel that the smaller cafe-style neighbors on the street can't match.

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.
