    June 24, 2016
    Identity Tequila is coming out of the liquor closet and showing its LGBT pride.

  • Rich's Reborn
    June 22, 2016
    It's one of the most storied addresses in Houston nightlife. The dual-level mega-club at the corner of San Jacinto and McIlhenny streets in Midtown was ahead of its time when it opened in the 1980s. Rich's brought high-tech lighting and sound as well as larger-than-life music videos to the mostly gay masses who packed its enormous dance floor every weekend. The energy lasted for more than three decades before the club shuttered in 2013 and saw management and name changes. This past...

    June 17, 2016

It’s a little like meeting a long-term boyfriend at last call: there is a lot of clutter around but you were able to pick out the true treasure. At least for a while anyway. Houston has a lot of amazing antique stores and it is a great way to get an item with more character for those pesky friends and family who expect souvenirs. Sure you could get just another magnet that says “Houston,” but putting in effort...

    June 13, 2016
    They say loose lips sink ships. Well, what makes lips looser than a little bit of alcohol? At the past Rainbow on the Green, the liquor was flowing as well as a few words some wish could take back. I know I do. I mistook a Laura Branigan song as one by Taylor Dayne. Well, my faux pas wasn’t the only ridiculous statement slurred. We compiled a list of some of the most ridiculous things overheard at Rainbow at the Green and here are some of them. Drunk Girl: Gaymer? Oh, like gay and gamer!...
  • Pride for the Girls
    June 9, 2016
    You can almost see the glitter in the air already. That’s because the 38 th annual Houston LGBT Pride Celebration® is almost upon us. June 25 th is the big day and downtown is where all of the action is. In 1977, it was downtown’s City Hall where Houston's own "Stonewall" took place with a protest against Anita Bryant that brought out people by the thousands. That makes having Pride in downtown Houston all the more special. If you’ve been to Pride before,...
