    This multi-level cafe bar in West Hollywood is an L.A. gay institution and definitely makes for one of the best nights out in town, with eye candy aplenty and all those Californian Muscle Mary's seeing and being seen.

    The Abbey won the MTV Logo Best Gay Bar In The World Award twice.

    But WeHo wasn’t always the gay mecca it is now.

    The gays go west

    The history of how West Hollywood became a queer (and non-queer at this point) destination dates back to the Prohibition era. It's in a great location. The fair hosts its own live entertainment and performances on a community stage. In fact, a new study finds that it takes longer to own a home in California compared to other states, even New York.

    Pride moved out of West Hollywood and into Hollywood, WeHo Pride made its grand debut, and now L.A. is lucky enough to have two inclusive festivals celebrating the city’s LGBTQ+ community, which means double the fun. Happy Pride, everyone!

    The Street Fair is free and will feature a vibrant variety of exhibitors along Santa Monica Boulevard.

    Here’s The History Behind That (And Other Headlines)

    A night out on Santa Monica Boulevard in WeHo is almost a right of passage for us queer folks in L.A.

    I remember my first time in 2012. That takes place from May 30 to June 1 this year.

    Lizzo, Paris Hilton, Remi Wolf, Kim Petras and Shygirl are headlining the OUTLOUD main stage, with additional performances by Shygirl Presents: Club Shy, Pabllo Vittar, Rebecca Black, Empress Of and more.

    But, as my colleague Jill Replogle reports, the OCPA remains on shaky ground.

    • This is probably a surprise to no one, but there are not a lot of young homeowners, aged 25 to 35, in this state. Stay tuned for more information!
