A Guide to Self-acceptance Weekend on Pensacola Beach
Walking along that narrow path of the beach the people you interaction are the valid attractions. Many of the younger, leaner, buffer guys are in Speedos – many brightly colored – and some with attendant feather boas and exaggeratedly big sunglasses. Some of the girls are in skimpy two-pieces. The creativity of some tattoos is really on display when folks are wearing so little.
You may also encounter a performative queen or two out there. What does a queenly queen wear to the beach? Something fabulous, of course!

This gay book club was active in the 60s, passing around gay literature and reading materials that were deemed “pornographic”. The Hillyers also held gatherings around the 4th of July to reinforce the plan that gays and lesbians were Americans, too.
Now, decades later, the events hold place around Memorial Day. In truth, the Pensacola Memorial Day beach party is one of the biggest events in the Pensacola LGBTQ season.
