I don’t think this is an “Official” event of any kind, but a bunch of like minded folks got together on Facebook and created this event, “Queers Go Ice Skating” and I think it’s a great idea, (if you’re inclined to wearing splangly outfits and prancing around on thin metal blades on frozen sheets of ice.) Here’s the info:
Wouldn’t it be fun if a bunch of queers went ice skating?
Admission to the ice rink is $7, and includes ice skates.
Here’s the ice rink details:

Please remember this is not an officially sanctioned event put on by Seattle Center or anyone else…don’t go expecting any “Welcome Queer Skaters!” or hostessing by gaily dressed drag queens! Also: Johnny Weir will NOT be in attendance…though, maybe in spirit.
Way to promote an event Johnny Weir will NOT be at by including a gorgeous shirtless picture of him, lol!
