Where To Find Us - Gays Gone Wild

Where To Find Us is going fully feral for Pride Weekend with Gays Gone Wild, a live queer dating show and party taking over Highland Lounge on Thursday, June 11, 2026 at 6:30 pm.

This isn’t your typical swipe-right situation—it’s a live dating experience where friends pitch their single queer besties in front of a crowd, Shark Tank style. Expect unhinged, deeply chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt PowerPoint presentations that make you fall in love with people you haven’t even met yet.

• The Theme: Gays Gone Wild – Animal print, faux fur, zebra stripes, cheetah spots, tiger energy, or anything that screams “I might have main character syndrome.” The more unhinged and feral the fit, the better.
• The Show – Friends take the stage and pitch their queer besties in short, punchy presentations packed with inside jokes, red flags, green flags, and just enough oversharing to keep things interesting.
• The Crowd – A room full of queer singles, friends-of-friends, and community members ready to flirt, cheer, and maybe accidentally fall in love.
• The Vibes – High-energy Pride Weekend chaos: DJs spinning between segments, live performances, and a crowd that’s there to meet people, not stare at their phones.

Once the pitches wrap, the night doesn’t end—it mutates. Stick around for After Hours, the official post-function party at Highland Lounge. Think more music, more flirting, more dancing, and perfect opportunities to finally talk to that person you kept making eye contact with across the room.

• Traffic Light Wristband System – No guessing games here. Color-coded wristbands help everyone broadcast their status and intentions so conversations start off on the right note:
  • Single and available
  • Curious, but complicated
  • In a relationship or unavailable
  • Polyamorous or open
  • Ally and supporters
• Connection-Forward Atmosphere – Designed for real-life sparks: mingling before the show, cheering during pitches, and unstructured social time afterward.
• Queer-Centered, Community-Wide – The night centers queer singles but welcomes the entire queer community. Bring your partner, your crush, your situationship, your polycule, or roll in solo and see what happens.

Whether you’re getting pitched, nominating a friend, or simply showing up to drink, dance, and scream-laugh at how accurate someone’s “Why You Should Date My Bestie” slide deck is, Gays Gone Wild is built to be the kind of Pride night you’ll still be recapping in the group chat weeks later.

Looking to get more involved? VENDOR & SPONSOR opportunities are available for brands and creatives who want to plug into a loud, joyful queer crowd—reach out to the organizers to learn more.

Come camera-ready, outfit feral, heart open, and friend group assembled. This is where strangers become crushes, crushes become dates, and dates become “we actually met during a PowerPoint about my red flags” origin stories.
