The gay scene in Boston may be over, but it’s Pride Weekend down there, so events like Guerrilla Gay Bar on Friday night and Epic Saturday at Roxy should stave off the impending decline.
Of note to porn fans, the Jarics and boyfriends Roman Heart and Benjamin Bradley are up in Portland, Oregon for the Pride fest there — which kicks off with the first annual drag race (like an actual, high-heeled foot race) on Sunday.
It’s also Pride Weekend in Los Angeles, Washington, D.C.; Birmingham, Alabama; Key West; Philadelphia; Milwaukee; San Jose; Flagstaff, AZ and Brooklyn.
And Michael Lucas may have returned from shooting hot gay Jews gallavanting around Israel, but he just missed Tel Aviv Pride, which happens this weekend.

780 N. Gower
Saturday, 7PM – 3AM
We never go to massive go-go-centric circuit parties unless we’re on drugs. And since it’s LA Pride this weekend, we’ll definitely be on drugs. That’s why we recommend this massive, shirtless thuddy bash — it’s probably the city’s biggest gay party of the year — on the backlot of Paramount Studios.
FRIDAY: SuperSonic @ MJs; Shits & Giggles Gay Pride Kick-Off with Juanita MORE @ 659 Westmoreland
SATURDAY: Pride Fest; Red Light @ Fubar; Cherry Pop @ Ultra Suede
SUNDAY: Maneuvers @ Eleven; Bulla Sundays @ Jimmy’s Lounge
