DONT ASK DONT TELL: FLUX Ft. PISSY PUSSY *QUEER PRIDE 2019*


Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is Boston’s largest continually running queer party. With over eight years of celebrations and 100 events DADT is a staple of the queer community. We pride ourselves in our inclusivity displayed by our motto “All are welcome who welcome all”. Everyone with an open heart and open mind is encouraged to join our family. DADT is held once a month at Great Scott in Allston- but every Pride we go BIG!

Join us for our third annual party at The Sinclair in Harvard Square as we explore this years theme FLUX. The definition of the word means fluidity- and we are interpreting that as gender fluidity. Our society’s behaviors, laws and people are changing- lets be the torchbearers! Gender is as fluid as the water that keeps us alive. This year our show and performers represent that!

This years line up includes DJs, DRAG and a special performance by the internationally acclaimed designer and artist Pissy Pussy!
