Last year, President Barack Obama declared June to be LGBT Pride Month in the United States. Popular variants of the acronym have added
QIA to the end — for
queer,
intersex and
ally — but all can recognize their pride when the popular weekly DJ event
Flex Friday celebrates its first anniversary at Crosstown Station (1522 McGee, 816-471-1522) with
Flex Your Pride. "The gay scene in KC wanted something different, and almost 250 people have come out every week since we started the idea to support something different. It has been a blessing for Crosstown," says club owner Chip Mitchell. Both tonight and Saturday night, the aerialists and dancers of Quixotic team up with Nomathmatics for an hourlong show downstairs. Chicago VJ Riley York works the upstairs crowd tonight, and Channel One Releasing porn actor Brent Everett dances and signs autographs Saturday. Ticket packages run from $7 to $20; see
flexkc.com. Doors open at 9 p.m., and the show starts at 10.
Fri., June 4, 10 p.m.; Sat., June 5, 10 p.m., 2010
