Third time’s the charm: LGBTQ event organizers Local Queer ATX pop up for their thrice be-thrown stoplight party over at Chups. “What’s a stoplight party?” you ask, my beloved yet clueless Reader. Color yourself with knowledge: A stoplight party is one where you dress in a color that acts as an intention signal to other attendees – you know, like a hanky code but less fetishistically specific. (Do NOT ask me what a hanky code is; just go watch Cruising!) Red means taken, yellow means poly, purple means one-night-stand seeking, and green means go – wait, sorry, it means single and ready to mingle. Obvi, LQ ATX also adds in fun like a Pitch Ur Bitch session, kissing booth, tooth gems, flash tattoos, and tunes spun by DJ Killgxrl. – James Scott
