GAYla - Saturday - 7pm
Have you ever wanted to replace your drab, dryland wardrobe with Ariel’s aquamarine scales or Nemo’s orange, black, and white stripes? Or maybe you’ve wanted to trade your winter scarf and gloves for Davy Jones’ claw and tentacles.
If so, then and come to downtown this Saturday for Brazos Valley QueSt’s 5th annual Spring GAYla,
UNDER THE SEA - FINDING HOMO.
Halo Bar will be magically transformed into a colorful reef for BV QueSt’s annual fundraiser for Aggie Allies and OUTreach Grants. With a silent auction, outstanding homemade treats, fantastic music, dancing, and performances by our finest entertainers, Spring GAYla is the premiere spring fundraising event for the queer and queer-supportive community of the Brazos Valley. And it’s tax deductible, too, because BV QueSt is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization!

Spring GAYla is BV QueSt’s chief fundraiser for Aggie Allies and BV QueSt’s OUTreach Grants. Aggie Allies provide a safe haven, listening ear, and support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people, and anyone dealing with sexual orientation issues. OUTreach Grants help support local queer/ally organizations in their activities and programs. Previous Spring GAYlas have raised thousands of dollars for Aggie Allies and OUTreach Grants, and we want to set a new record this year.
So hitch a ride on Flipper’s fin to BV QueSt’s Spring GAYla, UNDER THE SEA - FINDING HOMO. And if a certain, famous clownfish’s orange coloration doesn’t quite go with your school affiliation, then do a Google search on Premnas biaculeatus to find an alternative!
