Our grassroots gay potluck parties were conceptualized with the idea to fiscally support LGBTQ+ bars and safe spaces in SOMA during daytime and happy hour, when business is typically slower before nighttime events happen. We want it to be a win-win situation for both the bar or safe space and the gay community at large. It’s all about community building through a collective community effort. Interestingly enough, it’s also a fun and whimsical way for our mostly LGBTQ+ guests to showcase their amazing cooking skills by sharing their potluck dishes with all those who want to partake.
