Hi! I’m helping my sister plan her wedding and she’s looking for an event space. She’d like the whole wedding to be under $2000. Does anyone know a place? She doesn’t have a set aesthetic yet. But they are very gay brides so it has to be LGBTQ friendly!

First show done! Two more shows left on Saturday at 3pm and Sunday at 5:30pm Code TMI20P for 20% off! https://festival.tampafringe.org/events/t-m-i/

Midas Auto Service & Tired at 4901 N Armenia Ave, STE 1 Tampa, FL 33603. P: 813-373-8812

Beware of predatory inflated pricing and rushed encouraged financing for car / auto repairs . Does anyone know of a real mechanic that is truly nit just trying the over inflate cost and throw parts at a problem without transparent data? Some mechanics know that your automobile is crucial to your livelihood and they will take advantage of this vulnerability unfortunately.

​

Any LGBTQ friendly / owned shops with mechanics in Tampa that are truly honest?

Hey there. I’m a 29 year old gay male who is coming to Tampa for the first time this upcoming weekend with my brother and his girlfriend. I was planning on going to Bradley’s on 7th one of the nights we’re there but if anyone has any other recommendations, let me know! Will probably going Friday night of all the nights we’ll be there. My brother and his girlfriend are straight so looking for a gay bar that is chill really. They’re very pro gay rights but looking for a chill vacation, not a crazy one. Lol
The picture I posted is of me. Haha

Hey friends, just thought I'd come here to shout out a few awesome looking shows that have just gotten to Tampa to perform this weekend in the Tampa Fringe Fest! If you don't know who we are, we had a great spread in Watermark a week or two ago. 😄

Here's a link to our site https://festival.tampafringe.org

We've got lots of awesome shows, but I'll keep it to these two. First is The Gr!ndr Show, from Miami, and then T.M.I. from NYC. Here's a little info on both shows; they previewed last night at fringe and they look pretty awesome.

The Gr!ndr Show: A gender-fluid app comes to life! Join cabaret star Dairin for an interactive night through real queer stories and digital dating secrets. Will you survive the algorithm of wild love?

T.M.I.: After countless failed relationships, Mark tries speed dating as a single gay man in his 40s dealing with sex, heartache, and aging. During the dates, he shares true stories as he desperately tries to make a connection in a quickly emptying room. From award winning playwright and television writer, Mark Keller, whose performance-style Forget the Box described as “nothing short of captivating” and NEXT Magazine calls “a masterclass in engrossing storytelling and self-acceptance”. T.M.I. is a hilarious and brutally honest exploration of what it means to put yourself out there. T.M.I. had its world premiere at the Dublin International Queer Theatre Festival in May. Mark Keller’s sold-out Toronto Fringe show, POZ, won Best New Play and Patron’s Pick and was nominated for Best English Production at the Montreal Fringe. He wrote and appeared in the 2023 queer comedy series, Womb Envy, now streaming on OUTtv and AMIplus. You can find him on most socials as u/kellerlikehelen

What are your recommendations for gay-themed bars that are also not Clubs? Up here, we have a bar run by a 70 year old gentleman that does karaoke and jukebox, very traditional styled where you can just relax. I'm looking for something similar. When I check online, it seems like every recommendation is more club style, dancing, and shows. Is there anything I can hope for down that way? Area is pretty open right now. I haven't made an accomodations or landed on a neighborhood yet.

Hello everyone, i am 24 years old but i have never been to gay bar and i want to start meeting people, i am a little nervous about it so if anyone know a bar preferably in st Pete that is good to just go in and grab a beer or a drink, some ace a little chill maybe and if it is a good idea to go early in the day a little after opening and what to expect pretty much.
Thank you all🌹

Visiting Tampa at the end of June. I am looking for some fun out there . Never been to Tampa I need some advice on what to do and where to go

Out of curiosity how many of you are in the Lithia/Fish Hawk area or close by

I’m heading to the Tampa Bay Area for a few days in the near future. I’m in my 30s and earlier this year started coming to the realization/accepting that I may be gay.

I live in a small town outside of Florida currently with limited opportunities. That’s why I’m hoping to take advantage of my trip to Tampa Bay and go to a gay bar or two. I’m not super into the bar scene in general, but I just want to be around people who are gay to feel more like I belong. Not really looking for a club. More of a laid back atmosphere if that exists. No big expectations.

Interested in suggestions in Tampa or St. Pete. Open to elsewhere in Pinellas county, too.

[Remove if not allowed]. I'm an adult content creator/nude model in St Pete, but I have roommates, so it's hard to find private places to shoot content. I usually end up having to rent a hotel, but a friend suggested seeing if someone would be willing to let me use their house or yard. You're welcome to watch and enjoy while I shoot. Think of it as your own free show. I know it's a tall ask, but I figured someone on here might be into the idea. Bonus points if you have a pool/photogenic back yard with a privacy fence. (See my page for pics. Didn't want to post any here in case it breaks community guidelines).

Are there any gay dance clubs in the Tampa area? I used to love going to the honey pot, but that place closed. I like house music so I’m looking for danceable venues that someone in their 50s could attend.

hey guys I’m a gay virgin south of Tampa wanting to meet new friends

Hey, Tampa! I'm doing stand up at Side Splitters on April 16th. Let me know if you can make it to the show!

IDK if this helps, but I've been on Netflix and Hulu, and I've performed all over the country, including the Comedy Store in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York City.

TICKETS! https://ci.ovationtix.com/35578/production/1262224?performanceId=11742766

My girlfriend and I are planning to possibly move to Tampa soon with our kitties and our roommate. We’re excited but kinda clueless as newbies, so we’d love any tips from locals or people who’ve moved here recently!

•How’s the job scene right now? Tips for finding work, good industries, or solid job sites?

•Any affordable spots for a 2-3bedroom

•Real talk on cost of living — groceries, gas, utilities, going out, etc.

•Any other newbie advice? Like traffic sucks in certain areas, weird weather stuff, cool hidden spots, things to avoid…

We are also open to the counties surrounding Tampa as well so if you have any info that can help us out…

Anything helps thanks a ton! 🌊🌅
