The dating app for those who are interested in more exotic relationships, Feeld, just listed its “RAW Global Map of Desire,” including a list of the kinkiest cities and Wilton Manors/Miami (Fort Lauderdale’s population wasn’t large enough for this list) made the top five, coming in after Portland (Oregon), Seattle, and San Francisco.
Here’s what they had to say about us: “Miami has the most doms and is also the city most into pegging. But here's the thing about gay Miami: while South Beach has gay-friendly vibes, the real gay action is 30 minutes north {have they ever driven on 95 in rush hour} in Wilton Manors, dubbed "the second gayest city in America. The Queer Scene in Wilton Manors' Wilton Drive {…} packs more gay bars per capita than almost anywhere in America.” Other cities rounding out the list include, in descending order, Berlin, Boston, Denver, New York City, and Amsterdam. We’re kinkier than Berlin, NYC, and Amsterdam?
Queen of the D List
Kathy Griffin brings her New Face, New Tour to The Parker on Valentine’s Day. The two-time Emmy and Grammy Award-winning comedian is the LGBTQ’s community’s sweetheart, so the timing makes sense. Griffin holds the Guinness World Records title for writing and starring in 20 televised stand-up comedy specials. She is best known for the Bravo series Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List, which aired for six seasons and earned two Emmy Awards, and is the author of two New York Times bestselling memoirs. Gay audiences love her no-bull attitude and her honesty.

Tet a Tete
With Valentine’s Day getting so much attention, folks often forget that it’s also the Asian New Year. Technically it is the lunar new year, called Tet and observed in most Asian cultures. The Norton Museum of Art will host its annual free Lunar New Year Community Day on Feb. 21. There will be entertainment and activities for guests of all ages, including art projects, food, and music and dance performances. It’s also an opportunity for visitors to see the Museum for free – there will be no fee for parking or for full access to the galleries. For more information go to Norton.org.
