Thanks Marke Bieschke for writing us up in 48 Hills' Party Radar, and with that smokin' hot pic of Dulce De Leche!

Also, here's what BYOQ founder Rebeka Rodriguez has to say about why it's so important that BYOQ happen: "The urgency to q***r up public space is important, now more than ever. It’s necessary to disrupt the notion that q***rs need to normalize to participate in society. It’s critical that we gather in public spaces and make all kinds of q***rness visible — especially in today’s national climate."

Keep the heat with BYOQ, Studio 5'4, Massive Attack, Dub Mission, Oakland Pride, Come-Unity, SF Electronic Music Fest, Karizma, and more.
