Pride in the House Virtual Extravaganza
Even though Pride is virtual this year, that doesn't mean that organizers didn't do their best to pull out all the stops. And the lineup for this online party is testament to that. Gather around your favorite screen to take in the glittering wonders of singer Robin S. (the voice of house anthem "Show Me Love"), and drag sensations Roxxxy Andrews and Detox, stars of RuPaul's Drag Race and Drag Race All-Stars with deep local roots. Local artists and community businesses and organizations will also be showcased. 8 p.m., free, comeoutwithpride.com
