Join 'Throwing Light' this month with hosts Louis Toliver Jr. & ASHwell as they honor LGBTQIA+ history and its champions. Pay homage to trailblazers who paved the way, dive into our rich history, and discuss our role in advancing equality. It's a celebration of resilience, an acknowledgment of our past, and a call to action for a brighter, more inclusive future!
Cheer Ups pulls together all their 2022 collaborators to send the year off right at this collision point of disco and Texas.

This disco celebration is inspired by an article in local 1970s underground newspaper The Rag that called for the "liberation of homosexuals."

A portion of ticket sales will go to local LGBTQIA2S+ elderly support nonprofit Rainbow Connections.
Dance all night at Coconut Club's last New Year's Eve hurrah, with each floor vibrating on a different frequency: Peligrosa on the rooftop, the Brothers Groove in the laser pit, Neon Grotto going Cyber Queen, and Cuatro Gato ruled by all-stars Rue & Soullareal.
