Pride Night Speakeasy

Slip behind the pony door and step into a queer fever dream. Join us for a ’20s-themed Pride Night Speakeasy, where the drinks are strong, the outfits are sharp, and the vibes are very queer. We’re taking over the back room at Bully Boy Distillers for a night of electroswing, modern dance-floor bangers, drag, burlesque, costumes, flirting, and Pride-season merriment. Doors open and music starts at 7 PM. We’ll kick off the first half of the night with electroswing, then turn up the modern music later so you can groove with us until midnight. The costume contest starts at 9 PM, with fabulous prizes for the best ’20s-inspired looks, and performances will follow. Tickets are $10, and every dollar goes directly toward paying our performers. Bring some bills to tip your drag and burlesque artists, because queer nightlife runs on applause, sweat, glued down eyebrows, and cash. This party is for the whole alphabet: bisexual, pansexual, lesbian, gay, ace, trans, nonbinary, queer, questioning, and every gorgeous person who knows Pride belongs to all of us. Come dressed up, come ready to dance, come ready to flirt, and come ready to celebrate. Food will be available for purchase, including vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. You’re also welcome to bring your own food. Street parking is available but limited, so carpooling and ridesharing are strongly encouraged. Performance Line Up: Astrid Ambrosia Starry Sinclair Buster Pants Charleen Kelli Mars Borough Red Mako Yaki Aayla Dress code: ’20s-inspired, speakeasy glam, queer decadence, or whatever makes you feel fabulous. House rules: Keep it cute. Ask for consent. Flirt like a grown-up. Don’t drink too much and embarrass yourself. Don’t be a creep. Creeps will be kicked to the curb. Finding us: Bully Boy really is a speakeasy, so the entrance can be tough. Look for #44 BBD with a horse above the door. Walk into the lobby, then go through the door straight ahead marked with the chemical formula for alcohol. You’ll enter the bar. Keep walking toward the back until you find the big open room with pinball machines and casks. If you get lost, ask a bartender. Want a sneak peek? Check out the drink menu and space on <a href="https://www.bullyboydistillers.com/cocktail-bar-copy">Bully Boy’s website</a>, and follow them at @bullyboybooze. Come dressed to impress. Come thirsty. Come queer. We’ll see you behind the pony.

Bully Boy Distillers

Bi+ Night (Bisexual, Pansexual, Queer)

Ever stumble into a spot that instantly feels like your new favorite secret? That’s Bully Boy Distillers. Tucked away in Roxbury, serving up cocktails (and mocktails) that are way too good to gatekeep. Plus? You can bring your own food! Once again, we’re taking over the back room for a bi+ night built for connection, conversation, and whatever happens after last call. Expect low lights, beats, and friendly faces. Our Pride edition will welcome some brief words and PRIZES from MGB Sexual Health Clinic. For those of wondering, this is how old-school queers took care of themselves and the community! Who can attend? While this is a space for bi+ (bi, pan, omni, queer, etc) folks, we welcome all allies to party with us. ✨ Music to get you grooving (KnightTerra is back and ready to make the vibe) 🍸 Craft cocktails + zero-proof options 💜 Bi+ vibes, but all are welcome (other LGBTQ+ and allies, that means you!) 🃏 Tarot cards maybe? See the drink menu and the space on <a href="https://www.bullyboydistillers.com/cocktail-bar-copy">Bully Boy’s website</a>. No cover. No agenda. Just a place to show up, chill, and maybe make some friends. Finding us: Remember, this is a speakeasy, so finding the door can be a little hard. You’re looking for #44 BBD with a horse above it. Walk into a lobby and go through the door right in front of you (it’s marked with the chemical formula for alcohol). You’ll pop into a very nice bar. Keep walking back until you find a big open room with pinball machines and casks. If you get lost, ask a bartender.

Bi+ Picnic in the Park

We’re back for the THIRD annual Bi+ Picnic in the Park! HOW TO FIND US: Look for the bi flag. We're usually set up under a tree near the Boston Garden Flag Pole. We’ll gather in the Boston Public Garden as we come together to celebrate the last half of Pride and the diversity of the bi+ community. Whether you're a regular at BRC events, new to your identity, or an ally wanting to show support, all are welcome to join in the fun. This is a day for conversation and forging connections with folks who understand and affirm your experiences (no one is checking queer cards here). Share stories, make new friends, and revel in the joy of being exactly who you are, surrounded by nature and community. Feel free to bring along your loved ones – partners, children, friends, dogs, the rogue pet bird – as we create a space where everyone can feel accepted and celebrated. Also, if you want, it'd be cool if you brought along a snack you like to share with the group. Accessibility: Many people with accessibility need visit the Common, the Garden, and the Mall and find that navigating the paths is possible. Our picnic spot will be right of a sidewalk, so all should be able to make it out. Note: This event is family-friendly and open to all ages. We ask that all attendees respect each other's identities, pronouns, and boundaries, ensuring that everyone feels safe and welcomed.

Bisexual Pre-Pride House Party

Pride is coming and we’re kicking things off together. After a hiatus, the Bisexual Resource Center’s House Party is back for community, food, fundraising, and a night that actually feels good to be in. This is your space to show up, connect, and start Pride season surrounded by people who get it. Because let’s be real: Pride doesn’t always feel like it was built for us. Bi+ people are often sidelined, questioned, or made to feel like we have to prove something just to belong. This night is a reminder that you don’t. You’re already enough, and you deserve spaces where that’s a given. This year’s theme is BICON, so come dressed as your favorite bi+ icon. Celebrity, historical figure, fictional character, or honestly yourself (because, yeah, you’re biconic). Interpret it however you want. What to expect:<ul><li>Food, good company, low lights (no scary overheads here) and a chill vibe</li><li>Two drink tickets included with admission (additional drinks $5; soda and water are free)</li><li>A raffle featuring prizes from local orgs and businesses</li><li>A chance to sign up to march with us in the Boston Pride Parade with our new flag</li><li>Opportunities to connect, get involved, and learn more about BRC’s work</li></ul>Tickets &amp; Access: We suggest a donation of $35 to attend. If you’re able, we encourage you to give a little more to help cover the cost of someone else’s ticket and keep our work going strong. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.  Location: This is a private residence in Cambridge, MA. The address will be shared with confirmed RSVPs only. This event helps fund the work we do year-round: support groups, educational resources, advocacy, and building a stronger, more visible bi+ community. It’s also our launchpad into Pride season, when we show up loud, visible, and together. For over 40 years, the Bisexual Resource Center has been doing this work. This night is part of how we keep it going. Come as you are (or as your favorite Bicon). Either way, we’ll be glad you’re there.

BRC House Party

Sapphic Speed Dating | Boston LGBTQ+ Singles

Bisexual Killjoy, Deep Blue Hair Studio, and the Bisexual Resource Center invite you to a special night of sapphic speed dating. Dating can feel like a lot. Apps are exhausting, small talk the worst, and somehow everyone is either too cool or unavailable. So we’re trying to do something to make things better. This event is geared towards folks ages 25-45. Join us for an evening designed to make meeting people feel a little more human and a lot less intimidating. We’ll start with low-pressure icebreakers to get everyone grounded (and to prove that, yes, everyone here is a person like you). Then we’ll move into structured speed dating, followed by an open social hour where you can keep the conversation going in a more relaxed setting. Nervous? Baby, there’s no need. If you need help getting in the fray, Bisexual Killjoy’s co-host, Bailey Merlin, will be there to help you be brave and talk to the sapphic of your dreams. She wants to be thanked in a wedding toast, a commitment ceremony, a house warming, a Subaru co-signing, and/or a cat adoption, so she’d be happy to take you under her wing. Light snacks and beverages provided (so you’ll have something to do with your hands).

Bi the Mic: A Bi+ BIPOC Open Mic Night

There are not many rooms where bi+ BIPOC people get to take the mic without being sidelined or tokenized. But this is one of them. Bi the Mic is an open mic night centering bi+ BIPOC — Black, Indigenous, and people of color — storytellers, musicians, poets, comedians, and creatives of all kinds. Whether your work is tender, angry, funny, experimental, political, romantic, or somewhere in between, this space is for you. Performances are reserved for bi+ BIPOC artists. Spots to perform are limited. If you are a bi+ BIPOC artist, we strongly encourage you to sign up in advance to secure a slot. (Walk-ins may be possible if space allows.) Sign up here: <a href="https://forms.gle/jviF6sgybQUxaG4L6">https://forms.gle/jviF6sgybQUxaG4L6</a> Audience members of all identities are warmly welcome to attend, listen, and show up in support. What to Expect<ul><li>5-minute performance slots</li><li>Poetry, music, storytelling, spoken word, comedy, or whatever form your art takes</li><li>Non-alcoholic beverages and snacks</li><li>An all-ages environment</li></ul>Why This Space Exists Bi+ spaces are already rare.
