That faint buzzing sound you hear isn’t the Junebugs… (well, it probably is 8-)) It’s the sound of our servers struggling under the immense flood of traffic we’ve received for Tucson Gay Pride 2018! It’s gonna be the best event yet and we are excited to share everything we learn with you. Read this article for everything you need to know about the Gay Pride Flickathon 2018 happening at the end of Gay Pride Month!
Gay Pride Flickathon 2018 – Get Ready!
Our friends at Men’s Social Network of Tucson and The Colby Olsen Foundation have teamed up to bring 4 critically acclaimed films and documentaries for a free screening. That’s right, spend a day with these 4 amazing gay movies for free. It’s the perfect opportunity to have a good time while you learn a little bit about yourself and our community.
There are a few ground rules, of course. Anyone and everyone is welcome, but there cannot be any alcoholic beverages and anyone obviously intoxicated will be asked to leave. There will be a 15 minute intermission between each film, during which participants may walk about, stretch, or purchase food and drinks from the snack bar.
