Gay West Rides Again! Gay West is held at Old Tucson Movie Studios. Originally Gay West was a Tucson Pride event. In
2007 Gay West became a Wingspan event.
Gay West 2009 is bigger, better, and cooler than ever, with an entertainment lineup that features outrageous drag shows by
two female impersonator icons: New York City’s nationally-recognized Lady Bunny, and Tucson’s own inimitable
Lucinda Holliday.
The lineup also includes Old Tucson Studios’ stunt shows, “Hypno”
Joe, a Hi NRG Dance Saloon, mechanical bull riding, great food and
drinks, and much more!
“For over 20 years, Wingspan has been providing opportunities for Southern Arizona’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to come together and rejoice
in all itsglorious diversity,” said Jason Cianciotto, executive director, Wingspan. “Gay West
2009 will be bigger, better, and cooler than ever as we celebrate
with our community at Old Tucson Studios this Spring.”
The event gets under way at 6pm and the party continues until close. Tickets are $15
in advance (before 4/22/09 at Wingspan or Antigone Books or online at www.GayWest2009.com) or $18 at the gate. A special VIP ticket ($50) includes
a hosted reception with Humanitarian Award winners Neil Guiliano and Ruthie and Connie, as well as Lady Bunny and Lucinda
Holliday, and VIP seating for the shows.
