Your Gay Week(end) 8/30-9/5

We suspect some of you may have three if not four day weekends planned for Labor Day. From Marriage Equality Day rallies to RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 Winner Jinkx Monsoon, there’s something for everyone to make sure they have the gayest Labor Day week(end).

Friday August 30

Get your drag face ready because RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 5 Winner, Jinkx Monsoon, takes over Play on Friday August 30.

Saturday August 31

The day is finally here. In response to a last minute Tennessee Legislature resolution declaring Saturday August 31 as “Traditional Marriage Day”, TEP is mobilizing communities across Tennessee for Marriage Equality Day. Rallies and events are held across the state and more information can be found here.

Blowing buildings up, blackmail, brownies and Britney Spears. Those are the four B’s in Mark Brennan Rosenberg’s second book, Eating My Feelings. Unless you count his stepmom bitch he swears plotted to send him away (successfully) to fat camp. Rosenberg makes a Nashville stop August 31 at the Vanderbilt University Barnes and Noble to promote the just-released tale.

Nashville can claim this year’s ­­Idol runner-up Kree Harrison so you can bet that Bridgestone Arena will be packed when the ­Idol’s Live Tour makes its stop Saturday night.
