Weekend Happenings: Christmas Edition

This week we’re pumping out the hot cocoa by the gallon and cozying up with loved (and a little less liked) ones next to the Christmas tree. Really, we’re just trying to guess what each of the presents could be. We at the Jupiter hope your weekend is filled with only the queerest holiday cheer. Happy Holidays!

Happening this week:

• Tonight at 9pm Crush Bar will host The Island of Misfit Toys. The holiday dance party includes go-go dancers and DJs Chubby Chaser and Aurora. Admission is $3 and costumes are encouraged. Tear open that wrapping paper and show those elves how the misfits get down.

Links we loved:

• Gay films and tourism flourish in Tel Aviv. Are you picking up the Gay Vibe they’re putting down?
• Out Magazine completes its list of The 50 Gayest Songs of the 1990s. Personally, we think they’re too legit to quit.
• A federal court ruled that Augusta State University in Georgia was within its rights to request that a counselor leave her anti-gay biases out of advising sessions. School is now in session.
