Join the Celebration
As Miami Beach Pride 2024 approaches, the excitement is palpable. With Lisa Rinna announced as the Grand Marshal, this year's parade on April 14th along Ocean Drive is poised to be a spectacular showcase of unity and pride. Whether you're participating in the parade, attending the myriad events, or simply soaking in the vibrant atmosphere, Miami Beach Pride is an experience not to be missed.
The Crown Jewels: Festival and Parade
At the heart of Miami Beach Pride are the two events that draw crowds from across the globe - the 2-day Festival and Parade, set to dazzle on April 13th and 14th. These days encapsulate the essence of Pride, transforming Miami Beach into a canvas of rainbow colors, where joy, music, and unity paint the town.
A Parade Like No Other
The parade, a spectacle of creativity, love, and solidarity, will take place along the scenic Ocean Drive, offering an unforgettable experience for participants and spectators alike. This year, the parade is honored to have not just one but two grand marshals, each embodying the values and achievements that Miami Beach Pride stands for.
While the official announcement of the 2024 Grand Marshals will be made closer to the event date, past selections have included influential figures from the entertainment industry, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and local community heroes, setting a high bar for the announcement. Their presence will not only elevate the parade but also shine a spotlight on the causes and achievements within the LGBTQ+ community.
Festival Fun
Following the parade, the Festival at Lummus Park promises a continuation of the celebration, with stages hosting live music performances, dance parties, and speeches by key figures in the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Vendors line the park, offering everything from gourmet street food to artisan crafts, making it the perfect place to enjoy the afternoon with friends, family, or to make new connections within the community.
Why Miami Beach Pride Shines
Miami Beach Pride is more than just a festival and parade; it's a beacon of hope and a celebration of diversity, inclusivity, and acceptance. It's a reminder of the progress made and the journey ahead in the fight for equality. Through its vibrant events, Miami Beach Pride fosters a sense of community and belonging, encouraging everyone to live their truth proudly.
Not-to-Miss Events
April 6th kicks off with an empowering note, dedicating the day to the incredible women of the community. The ladies are taking over the Gaythering for the official Miami Beach Pride women's event. For just $15, attendees can enjoy a spirited evening complemented by a free Tito's Vodka or Mexica Tequila cocktail.
April 7th offers a day packed with family-friendly fun at Pride Park with the Miami Beach Pride Family Picnic. Expect bounce houses, crafts, games, music, and delicious food. It's a day of joy for all ages and even includes dog adoptions by the Humane Society of Miami. As the sun sets, the Rooftop Cinema Club invites guests for cocktails and a special screening in partnership with the OUT Shine Film Festival, showcasing "The Mattachine Family."
April 8th brings a touch of creativity and inspiration with the annual Queer Art Showcase at Moxy South Beach. This free event is a celebration of queer artistry, featuring photography, paintings, sculptures, and more, all created by talented LGBTQ+ artists.
Why Miami Beach Pride Matters
Miami Beach Pride isn't just a festival; it's a beacon of hope, a voice for equality, and a testament to the strength of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. It embodies the city's commitment to fostering an environment where everyone can freely express themselves and love who they love without fear or judgment.

AHOY, MATEYS. There comes in a time in every American’s life when you have to ask yourself: Can I endure a cruise?
OUTFAIR.COM online and OUTFAIR SHOP at AXEL BEACH Hotel Miami have your perfect outfits, take a look
Having never really been on a boat before (except for all the times I told people that I was born on a plantain boat during a monsoon), it was a vacation that I never really considered. I’m not sure if it’s fear of a Gilligan’s Island-esque shipwreck in the middle of nowhere or spending a week on a norovirus-filled tube with a bunch of people I can’t stand.
]]>AHOY, MATEYS. There comes in a time in every American’s life when you have to ask yourself: Can I endure a cruise?
OUTFAIR.COM online and OUTFAIR SHOP at AXEL BEACH Hotel Miami have your perfect outfits, take a look
Having never really been on a boat before (except for all the times I told people that I was born on a plantain boat during a monsoon), it was a vacation that I never really considered. I’m not sure if it’s fear of a Gilligan’s Island-esque shipwreck in the middle of nowhere or spending a week on a norovirus-filled tube with a bunch of people I can’t stand.
And yet, I found myself (at my boyfriend’s prompting) embarking on my first voyage on the Celebrity Summit for an Atlantis Cruise. Atlantis provides both cruises and resort packages catered to gay male clientele—it’s like a Carnival Cruise except no kids, more bars and less clothing. This isn’t the type of cruise that you take with your parents. What I learned is that like most gay events, on a gay cruise, the clothes (or lack thereof) make the man. My best advice for anyone going on their first gay cruise: Hurry up and get your costumes coordinated.
Passengers get a cruise itinerary in advance so you’ll know what type of events to expect. While there are some old standbys— a white party, a classics tea dance, a dog tag tea dance—there are always a few new party themes that allow cruisers to flex their creative (and literal) muscles. My cruise got in on the Star Wars craze and had a party titled Star Gaze: The Fierce Awakens. The puns are strong with these ones.
When people tell you everyone dresses up for the party, they really mean everyone. About 98 percent of people at the parties were dressed in some form of costume. Your creativity can make for a great conversation starter. I lost count of how many complimented me on my floral bloomers during the white party.
Unless you’re leaving from Galveston, chances are you’re going to have to fly somewhere to get on the boat. That means you have to pack accordingly. Make sure you save room for all your day clothes, swim trunks, shoes, costumes and accessories. If you’re trying to avoid checking a bag or paying for extras, be frugal in your accoutrements—no one wants to pay a baggage fee because your harnesses are too heavy. But if simply must have your ginormous fairy wings, you can always have them shipped to port.
One of the best parts of dressing up for a cruise is getting a group of your besties to plan a coordinated set of costumes. Think of the photo opportunities! What would make a better souvenir or Facebook banner image than a group shot of gay Storm Troopers or a softball team comprised of all catchers? Make sure to coordinate well because you don’t want a group with two Blanche Devereauxes. Or make sure to agree on a theme in advance so you don’t spend five hours gluing white flowers to a pair of women’s running shorts when no one else is doing that.
As in Houston, it’s perfectly acceptable to show up to the main dining room in shorts, a tank top, and flip-flops. Unlike straight cruises, dinners tend to be more casual so you can dress down for an evening meal. What’s the point of putting on your Sunday best when you’re gonna have to take it all off to apply body paint and glitter in a few hours anyway?
No matter your age, physique, or body hair situation, you always make a party-appropriate outfit out of only underwear, sneakers, and appropriate accessories (harness and/or head piece) in a pinch. Camo undies and combat boots = dog tag tea dance. White undies and wings = white party. Neon undies and glow sticks = light themed party. Plus if anyone asks why you’re wearing undies with a hood and fur ears, you get to say “I’m an Ewok. Duh.”
Because you’re at party around a pool, you’ll think it’s safe to wear flip-flops or go barefoot. But you’ll be surrounded by hundreds of dudes (and approximately 28 women) in various states of inebriation and assorted footwear—including heels. Follow the advice I got from my parents when I told them I was going on a gay cruise: “In most cases—use protection.”

In the realm of fashion, diversity, inclusivity, and representation are key elements that shape the industry. An example of this ethos is OUTFAIR SHOP, a unique online retail platform that is not just a marketplace, but a celebration of diversity and innovation in fashion.
Proudly presented by GAYHILLS Inc., an internationally recognized LGBT-owned Diversity Supplier, OUTFAIR SHOP is pioneering a new wave in e-commerce. The brand proposition is simple yet powerful: to create a platform exclusively dedicated to products from LGBTQ+ owned businesses and emerging LGBTQ+ designers. This commitment goes beyond mere tokenism—it's about economic empowerment, celebrating diversity, and making a tangible impact in the fight against discrimination.
OUTFAIR SHOP offers a curated selection of products ranging from men swimwear to underwear and accessories, all marked by exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive style. Each item tells a story of creativity, resilience, and pride. Highlighted brands like KBAYO, ETHAN, Battysta, Jcastell, XPARTACUS, Strapping Boy, and Tom of Finland reflect the diverse range of style and design that OUTFAIR SHOP champions.
KBAYO, known for their luxury men's beachwear, and ETHAN, with their premium swimwear line, exemplify the caliber of brands featured on OUTFAIR SHOP. Both brands showcase not only high-quality products but also the spirit and vision of their LGBT creators.
Similarly, brands like Battysta, Jcastell, and XPARTACUS stand as testaments to the diversity and talent within the LGBT community. From Battysta's vibrant designs woven in Colombia to Jcastell's modern and stylish creations, and XPARTACUS's commitment to quality and style, OUTFAIR SHOP offers a platform for these brands to shine.
Also featured is Strapping Boy, a brand that pushes the boundaries of conventional design with its innovative and daring approach to men's fashion. Tom of Finland, meanwhile, pays homage to the iconic artist with a collection that is as bold and unapologetic as the art it represents.
OUTFAIR SHOP's impact extends beyond the products it offers. By exclusively showcasing products from LGBTQ+ owned businesses, OUTFAIR SHOP is making significant strides in supplier diversity theory. This concept goes beyond merely promoting economic growth in diverse communities—it's about fostering inclusive procurement practices and driving change in the business landscape.
In conclusion, OUTFAIR SHOP is more than an online retail store. It's a platform where diversity is celebrated, and style meets substance. The commitment to promoting LGBT-owned brands, the fight against discrimination, and the dedication to quality and style make OUTFAIR SHOP an inspiring force in the fashion industry.
As we look forward to the future, the success story of OUTFAIR SHOP will undoubtedly inspire more businesses to embrace diversity and inclusivity. And as consumers, we can all contribute by choosing to support businesses that align with these values.
In an ever-changing world, we must remember that progress is not just about embracing new ideas, but also about fostering empathy, respect, and understanding. This is why at OUTFAIR SHOP, we hold Spirit Day in high esteem, as it stands as a beacon of hope and resilience for the LGBTQ+ community.
On October 19th, we proudly join the global fight against bullying and stand in solidarity with LGBTQ+ youth as we celebrate Spirit Day. This day serves as a stark reminder of our commitment to support and uplift the members of the LGBTQ+ community, especially the young ones who are often at the receiving end of societal prejudice and discrimination.
Spirit Day was conceived out of compassion and the urgent need for change. Brittany McMillan, a Canadian teenager, initiated this movement in response to heart-wrenching incidents such as the one involving Tyler Clementi, and other young individuals who tragically lost their lives due to homophobic bullying.
This annual observance has grown into a global event that encourages everyone to wear purple—a color that symbolizes 'spirit' on the rainbow flag—as a visible sign of support for LGBTQ+ youth.
Despite the strides made in promoting acceptance and equality, the reality remains that many LGBTQ+ youth continue to face hostility in their everyday lives. Recent research from The Trevor Project reveals a troubling statistic: more than 50% of LGBTQ+ middle and high school students have suffered verbal or physical harassment within the past year.
This alarming data underscores the urgency of our collective responsibility. We must promote a safer, more accepting environment worldwide for LGBTQ+ youth. It's a call to action for us all to actively participate in eradicating homophobia and transphobia, not just on Spirit Day, but every day.
As the world's only marketplace exclusively selling products made by LGBTQI suppliers, OUTFAIR SHOP is more than just a store—it's a platform for positive change. Our mission goes beyond commerce; we are deeply committed to supporting the economic empowerment of the LGBT community.
Every purchase made at OUTFAIR SHOP directly supports LGBT-owned businesses, fostering economic growth and independence within this vibrant community. In doing so, we contribute to creating an environment where everyone, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can thrive.
This Spirit Day, we invite you to join us in making a stand against bullying. Wear purple, show your support online, educate others about the significance of this day, and let's work together to create a world where acceptance is the norm, not the exception.
Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can ensure that the spirit of acceptance, love, and respect continues to shine brightly for all members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Remember, change starts with you. And it starts today.
Happy Spirit Day from all of us at OUTFAIR SHOP!

LGBTQ PAUL HENEY JUNE 07, 2020
In recent years, LGBTQ consumers have been avid travelers, venturing to family-friendly gatherings in Provincetown, partying in Fort Lauderdale or Madrid, cruising in Europe, or looking for the hottest new urban or beach getaway.
While some are cautious travelers, especially in regions where the political climate affords them fewer protections, it’s not a stretch to say that many of them are adventurous and open to new experiences.
So, in a post-COVID-19 world, what may LGBTQ travel look like?
A recent Harris Poll, conducted from May 6-8, found that whether traveling or not in the near-term, LGBT respondents reported feeling more comfortable making some specific travel choices:
– Traveling to a U.S. destination: 64% LGBT vs. 58% non-LGBT adults.
– Staying in a hotel: 59% LGBT vs. 50% non-LGBT adults.
– Staying at an Airbnb: 43% LGBT vs. 35% non-LGBT adults.
– Flying commercial aircraft: 43% LGBT vs. 35% non-LGBT adults.
– Traveling to Europe: 35% LGBT vs. 28% non-LGBT adults.
– Attending a crowded event, concert, theme park or beach: 33% LGBT vs. 25% non-LGBT.
– Taking a cruise: 31% LGBT vs. 23% non-LGBT.
“Americans so often feel travel is their lifeblood,” said Erica Parker, Managing Director of The Harris Poll. “Our newest benchmark reveals how conflicted, uncertain or confused many of us feel balancing our need to travel with health risks and cautions. It’s especially enlightening to contrast similarities and differences among us, including LGBT travelers.”
“Past research tells us travel remains a high priority for LGBT consumers — even when overcoming setbacks,” said Bob Witeck, President of Witeck Communications, an LGBT market expert. “We witnessed this in 2001 following 9/11, as well as post-recession in 2009 when LGBT adults showed strong personal appetite to travel once again. As conditions permit, and the economy reopens, we anticipate LGBT travelers again will be found towards the front of many lines at airports, hotels and desirable destinations.”
We asked John Tanzella, IGLTA President/CEO how he thinks LGBTQ travel will change, post COVID-19, if at all.
“Interestingly, nearly half of the respondents to our Post Covid-19 LGBTQ+ travel survey said they would not change the types of destinations they choose to visit after the coronavirus situation is resolved, reflecting a high degree of destination loyalty amid the uncertainty (25% of respondents are still undecided). It will take longer for large LGBTQ+ events to return, but once the threat is past, the desire to gather among like-minded people will prevail,” he said.
IGLTA’s Post Covid-19 LGBTQ+ Travel Survey was conducted between April 16 and May 12, and focused on the likelihood of LGBTQ+ individuals choosing a variety of travel-related activities in the next six months, again showcasing strong interest from the segment:
– 48% are likely/very likely to stay in a hotel or resort
– 57% are likely/very likely to take a domestic leisure trip
– 34% are likely/very likely to stay in a vacation home, condo or rental apartment
– 29% are likely/very likely to take an international leisure trip
– 20% are likely/very likely to visit an amusement park
– 21% are likely/very likely to take a group trip
– 13% are likely/very likely to take a cruise
– 45% are likely/very likely to take a short-haul flight (3 hours or less)
– 35% are likely/very likely to take a medium-haul flight (3-6 hours)
– 27% are likely/very likely to take a long-haul flight (6 hours or more)
– 33% are likely/very likely to attend an LGBTQ+ Pride Event
Ed Salvato, Co-author of the Handbook of LGBT Tourism & Hospitality, said that overall, LGBTQ Travelers—and especially those with dual income and no children—exhibit characteristics and behaviors in travel that are very appealing to marketers.
“For example, they are much more likely to travel in general, travel spontaneously, spend more money when they travel, travel for a longer period of time, etc. For LGBTQ travelers, the desire to go and meet others like themselves is a deep and powerful motivator. It is a need,” Salvato said.
“Psycho-graphically, LGBTQ people—especially gay men and lesbians—have been at the forefront of epidemiological and health issues for decades starting with the AIDS crisis. They understand the importance of health precautions. And they understand the benefit of those precautions. I think the statistic also reflects a trust in the public health steps that I’ve been recommending for traveling and the fact that LGBTQ people understand the importance of adhering to public health guidelines (like wearing a mask, sanitizing and maintaining social distance). LGBTQ people have been exercising many of those steps for decades,” he added.
Tanzella thinks LGBTQ travelers will be quicker to re-embrace travel, as this first wave of the pandemic slowly flattens.
“The recent Harris Poll and IGLTA’s Post Covid-19 LGBTQ+ Travel Survey both support the resilience and loyalty of the LGBTQ+ travel community and indicate that when travel resumes, they will be among the first ones who are open to getting back out there.”
“Drive and quick easy getaway trips will be the first to come back,” said Salvato. “I think also short-haul air flights. Later will be longer-haul air flights. I also think cruises and all-inclusive resorts will come fast for both markets. People who love these styles of vacation love them. In the gay world, I think gays will be quicker to book a cruise or all gay all-inclusive.”
“The general consensus is that domestic travel will come back first, and this will hold true for LGBTQ+ travelers, too,” agreed Tanzella.

An Orlando mom has gone viral on Twitter for her top-shelf response to discovering her son’s OnlyFans account.
Her son, Christopher, shared the text thread after one of his mom’s coworkers allegedly tried to expose his secret.
“My moms coworker just exposed me for having an onlyfans because she saw my photos on her sons phone and my mom confronted me,” he wrote along with posting two screenshots of the texts.
“Christopher Michael,” Mom begins. “Why did Ms. Jamie tell me she saw your nudes on her sons twitter? Are you seriously posting your nudes for money?” she asks, seemingly upset.
Christopher responds: “I uhhhhhhh may or may not have an onlyfans? So I may or may not post pictures to promote it.”
“All hypothetical talk here btw,” he added.
“Hypothetical? Are you kidding me,” Mom replies, not accepting the deflection. “She showed me the tweets, as your mother this is very worrying for me.”
“Kind of an awkward conversation to have over text don’t you think,” Christopher says.
“You can go ahead and call me if you’d like and try to explain it but I honestly don’t care, I was just pretending to care because Ms. Jamie was in my office still. Chase the bag boo,” Christopher’s mom wrote back. “Also I will be updating my Mother’s Day list and Birthday list and Christmas list for now on.”
And just like that, we’ve added an important new phrase to our lexicon: “Chase the bag boo.” Thanks Mom.
“For everyone saying that this isn’t my mom here’s the photo to shut you up because it is haha,” Christopher wrote in a following tweet. “She’s 38 and looks good for her age so kindle (sic) back off.”

With so much tragic news each day, it can be hard to connect positively with friends. Yet psychologists say that lighthearted conversation is more essential now than ever. Here are some conversation starters to boost the mood!
“Watched anything good lately? Not ‘Tiger King’—I watched that already. And not any major news outlet for the past six hundred hours—I also watched that.”
“It’s so nice to see a human mouth! What other human mouths have you seen today?”
“I love your houseplants! Is that a peace lily behind you?” (If no houseplants: “Is that a wall behind you?”)
“How are your kids handling remote learning? I had to teach mine all fifty states and when each major metropolis will exhaust its essential resources.”
“Have you been outside recently? Were there trees? Did they rustle in a breeze?”
“I love your shirt! What else are you wearing? Pants? Shoes?”
“Have you taken up any new hobbies? I never really understood knitting before, but now I love to curl up on the couch and knit rolls and rolls of toilet paper!”
“Do you think you could draw a gym from memory?”
“I had a dream last night that I was at a restaurant, and, when the waiter poured my water, his hand accidentally brushed against mine, and I woke up sobbing for our lost world. Have you had any weird dreams lately?”
“What do you think of the new Zoom updates? Which Zoom update is your favorite?”
“I saw a fun thing at the grocery store last week. Oh, sorry, I told you this already. Have you seen anything fun at the grocery store recently?"
“What’s, like, the craziest thing you’ve used to sanitize your doorknobs?”
“What’s the commute like from your bed to your desk?”
“Travelled anywhere new in your apartment lately?”
“What book have you been reading without absorbing anything because Dr. Fauci is talking?”
“What outside objects do you miss touching with your bare hands the most?”

(WB) An attendee at a fundraising dance party in Miami for the National LGBT Task Force has tested positive for the coronavirus, the organization informed participants last night in a letter shared with the Washington Blade.
“I was informed that one of our Winter Party Festival guests tested positive for COVID-19 in the week following our event,” Carey said in a news statement Monday. “We are grateful to them for alerting us, particularly given that they were not experiencing symptoms during WPF and had traveled elsewhere, but wanted to make sure we were aware of this development.”
The Winter Party, which took place this year March 4 to 10, is a week-long celebration of beach parties and nightclub dancing in Miami. According to the Task Force, the official number of attendees at the event was 5,500 people.
It’s unknown how the attendee was infected. The Task Force as of Monday morning had yet to report other cases of attendees testing positive for coronavirus.
Carey said in the letter “there are many places people could have been exposed before and after Winter Party as this virus has developed.”
But coronavirus infection among event attendees doesn’t appear to be isolated to one individual, based on an account of one participant at the event.
The attendee, who spoke to the Blade on condition of anonymity, said Monday he had direct exposure to one friend who subsequently tested positive for the coronavirus.
“Within my group of friends, 10 or so of us have flu-like symptoms,” the attendee said. “I’ve chatted with acquaintances who in most cases say that they have many sick friends within their groups as well.”
The attendee added he’s part of a group chat with roughly 80 members and an estimated 20 of them say they have flu-like symptoms.
“Most of us are not eligible for testing so are self quarantined and recovering at home,” the attendee said.
Based on social media posts, the attendee said there could be up to three confirmed cases of Winter Party attendees who tested positive for coronavirus.
Carey insisted in a news statement the Winter Party was still held amid concerns about the spread of the coronavirus based on “official guidance available at the time.” Precuations undertaken at the event, Carey said, included comprehensive signage with CDC information about practicing good hygiene and making alcohol-based hand sanitizer available throughout the Festival.
“Information and circumstances have changed rapidly since WPF,” Carey said. “We continue to encourage all WPF guests to monitor their health, practice social distancing, wash hands with soap, use hand sanitizer and contact their doctor if they think they are exhibiting symptoms. If one tests positive for COVID-19, we urge them to contact those they were in direct contact with so all can take steps to monitor their health and speak with their doctors.”
The Washington Blade has placed a request for comment with the Task Force about whether there are additional reports of infections.
In the aftermath of the Winter Party, Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber said during a news conference Sunday the beach would be closing from 5th Street to 15th Street, and there would be an 11 p.m. curfew in the entertainment district, according to a local report from NBC Miami.
“We can’t have the kinds of crowds we’ve had, the kinds of gatherings,” Gelber was quoted as saying. “I walked down Ocean Drive yesterday and what I saw was incredibly disturbing, it wasn’t just the typical large gatherings of people, but it was young people who believe they’re invincible and probably don’t really think of this in any way as a health crisis.”
The Task Force’s decision to move forward with the Winter Party last week was met with anger on social media Monday in the aftermath of the report over coronavirus infections and warnings all public events should be cancelled.
