Queer Events for the Weekend of May 3-5

Chappell Roan's unofficial favorite newsletter

Rest up this weekend because we have a full Sunday line-up. There’s so many events you might end up in analysis paralysis. It’s not every day that you have to decide between attending a queer prom and watching But I’m a Cheerleader with the director.
