Judging by our event photos, we could call 2017 the year of the exhibitionist. Read more below.

Best in Events 2017

OK, we admit it. We do tend to enjoy events in the warm summer months and in sweaty clubs. Yes, anywhere that it is more comfortable to disrobe than to...robe. Pool parties, nightclub events, bathing costume contests, and seasonal celebrations have been traditional gathering places for gay men as well as their lesbian, bisexual, and trans friends for decades. It does get frisky, it does get wild, buttocks will be exposed -- but don't let that fool you. There is community building going on at these events as well. These are some of our favorite photos from 2017.

Thanks to all the photographers whospend hours on their feet charming folks into posing for their cameras. Matt Baume and Miguel Angel Reyes are two of our most prolific contributors, and we are grateful to be able to share their great photos with you. If you want to see more photos from any of these events, just follow the link in the caption below the photo.
