    Queerbomb

    How else does one start Pride month other than a big ol’ rally? But that’s not all there is to Queerbomb, Austin’s long-running anti-corporate Pride event. Hosts Cupcake and Bobby Pudrido preside over a celebration featuring music from local queer creators like Thelonius Love, Snack Supper, Diggers of Dirt, and the Side Saddles, as well as DJ sets by Schi the God, La Morena, Lavender Thug, and Turito. Pump up the original Pride spirit by catching powerful speeches from speakers like Alicia Roth Weigel, Isra Cheema, Democrasexy, and the Trans Era. A few tips from a guy who’s attended several Queerbombs: Wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and don’t skip the resource fair. In 2022 I scored a free anal douche from the ASHwell table. – James Scott
