The sun is setting later, a new Madonna album is on the way, and the crowd at the gym has never looked gayer, which can only mean one thing: Pride season is coming in, hot and heavy.

Considering June only lasts 30 days, the pressure is on to make every night on the town feel like an absolute celebration of queer joy — although the planning process just got a bit easier for any LGBTQ+ travelers and locals planning to be in New York City this summer.

So, Gay just announced their first-ever Pride House, billed as “the most influential Pride party in the world,” and taking over the Brooklyn Monarch on June 3, 2026, from 7 pm to 10 pm. This might be the can’t-miss VIP event of the season, and judging by the lineup — which includes Real Housewives star Meredith Marks (and her caviar), RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Kenya Pleaser, New York drag legend Mo’riah, and a special performance by La Cruz — the “P” does not just stand for “Pride,” honey!

That said, the heart of Pride season is about connection with the community, so So.Gay has accordingly appointed a who’s-who of LGBTQ+ influencers and icons, including Dylan Scott Kevitch, Lana Ja’rae, Luxx Noir London, Athan Chekas, Lucas Stowe, Tony Morrison, and Spencer Thomas as members of the host committee.

Of course, no gay event is complete without the pics (or swag). In addition to an open bar, multiple stages, red carpet, and Glambot photo opps, and sponsor activations, there’s also a limited-edition tote bag for VIPs. Because no gay person can ever have enough totes.

Hurry and sashay on over to snag your tickets here, because they’ll be gone in a New York minute.

Now, time for the even bigger question: What are we going to wear?!?

And if you’re not sold yet, check out 12 of the hottest pics from So.Gay’s parties over the last year.
