YES—A GAY RODEO! Then, BOOM! Of course, every individual is rocking a cowboy hat.
The area has plenty of queer bars like the trendy Stacy’s, the saloon-themed Pat O’s Bunkhouse, the ultra-divey Rock, and the chaotically massive Charlie’s.
Beyond the bars, however, I grab a coffee from Window Bar followed up by an authentic Puerto Rican lunch at Phoenix Coqui where I have the most savory Mofongo con Pernil (fried plantain and pulled pork) while completely understanding why the queer-owned business has such a high rating on Yelp.
Rodeo Event Calendar
Future dates are tentative.
For the next hour, I watch some of the physically toughest LGBTQ+ people compete in various events like “Chute Dogging,” “Pole Bending,” and “Barrel Racing.” There is even an event called “Steer Decorating” which does not involve decorating a steer with a cute little wig and a riotous pair of sunglasses as I expected, but instead showcases a trans man diving face first into the dirt after successfully tying a ribbon onto a bucking steer’s tail.
I’m wildly outside of my comfort zone, but that’s the whole point of my road trip around the United States. I also learn rodeo jargon like “honker,” “Piggin’ string,” and “hooey.”
The event is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Use our interactive seating charts to craft your perfect experience.
I stagger up a ramp into a stadium to find rows of bleachers filled with proud LGBTQ+ cowpoke cheering the events that are taking place in the center.
