Your Big Gay Weekend: 6/19 – 6/21

Ricky Martin is finally out. Obama pretty much hates us.  Chastity’s becoming a man. PlanetOut is more over than ever. Chace Crawford is People‘s “hottest bachelor” and will remain closeted well into his thirties. And The Sword gained a few more backwoods jackoff fantasies on set with Mustang.

It’s also South Carolina Black Pride, Kentuckiana Pride in Louisville, Rhode Island Pride in Providence, Anchorage Pride up in Alaska (where Sarah Palin will not be making an appearance?), Hawaii Island Pride out on the Big Island, and up in Canada, it’s Toronto Pride and Edmonton Pride.

As always, click here for The Sword’s guide to regular weekly events happening Friday – Sunday in SF, NY & LA.

Below, some special weekend highlights in the three faggiest cities we know — though only San Francisco can still claim to be the bottomiest.

429 Castro Street
Saturday, 4:15PM

As part of the opening weekend of SF’s gay film fest, Frameline, this low-budge doc produced in part by Joe Dallesandro’s daughter profile’s the still alive and kicking Warhol superstar, and tells the story of his journey to underground stardom in his words.

1290 Sutter Street
Saturday, 9PM – 3AM

Pride gets shameless at this technotic blow-out care of the gayest radio station in the world. DJ Porn Star will hold court in a special porny room with Hot House and Factory Video give-aways, so when you stumble home drunk and alone at least you’ll have something to masturbate to.

Folsom Street may be in San Francisco, but NYC pervs get to don their leather and fetish best and traipse around public at this easterly version, which has moved uptown from its meatpacking roots. Performers this year include Chi Chi Larue, Frederick Ford and Peppermint.

2301 North Highland Ave.
Friday, 8:30 PM

It’s not like L.A. is rife with awesome new parties, and since you’ve probably already heard of Shits & Giggles and MJs and Red Light, we thought we’d alert you to opening night at The Hollywood Bowl, which along with a bottle of wine and a picnic would make for a nice second/third date with your latest trick, especially if he’s into opera — Dame Kiri Te Kanawa is being inducted into the Hall of Fame, along with Josh Groban (pictured).
