The Big Gay Jamboree
THE Massive GAY JAMBOREE PLAYED ITS FINAL PERFORMANCE ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15,
From the Oscar-nominated producers of BARBIE and the delulu originator of the Off-Broadway hit TITANIQUE comes THE BIG GAY JAMBOREE, a massive new musical comedy that’s pushing the envelope…and the gay agenda.
Help! Stacey’s fallen into a musical and she can’t get out. Last night, she got a little bit blackout drunk. This morning, she woke up in some b*tch ass Music Man world where everybody keeps bursting into song & twirl, and where gay still just means happy. Maybe it’s a dream. Maybe it’s an allergic reaction to her birth command. Or maybe it’s Maybelline (don’t sue us! sponsor us? we’ll talk later). But if Stacey’s truly trapped inside a Golden Age musical, there’s only one way out: carol out! Or find the stage door. Whatever gets the most applause.
Starring one of Vanity Fair’s “brightest stars of New York theatre” and the world’s second favorite Celine Dion, MARLA MINDELLE, The Big Gay Jamboree

Moreover, the normalization of PnP within certain circles of the LGBTQ+ community adds to its prevalence. When PnP becomes part of the social fabric, it&#;s challenging for individuals looking for acceptance and connection to resist.
