Seattle’s oldest gay nightclub owned by straight Canadians is also pretty much the only gayish venue to make ANY effort to hold events for the under 21 crowd.
Maybe that’s why Neighbours has been around so long….they grab their client base before they’re old enough to legally drink!!
That tradition of loving the young ones continues tonight (Wednesday, June 17) as Neighbours hosts the 2nd Annual “Teen Gay Pageant” from 8pm to 10pm, followed by the usual Wednesday night under 21 fun of “eXposed” with hosts Drew & Jessica Paradisco. But, since it’s the start of Gay Pride season, they’ve shelled out some money and brought in adorable RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 star APRIL CARRION which makes PERFECT sense because April looks like a long lost Puerto Rican Paradisco! A. Door. A. Bull. !!!!
The pageant part starts early! Doors at 8pm; show starts at 8:30pm !

What is the fun of not naming names? Especially since Trenton is dead.
PrideFest this year has teen programming from 4-7pm on Sat 6/27 in Cal Anderson and we’re finish the day at Seattle Center with the same focus on the main stage from 6:30-7:00 at Seattle Center and 7-8 at the DJ stage. We love our underage Pridesters, and we don’t need to prep them to be drinkers!
