Greetings from the beaches in Puerto Vallarta, where i have spent the past week on a “pre-holiday” holiday. PV is like our sister city with many a valley LGBTQ+ resident making pilgrimages to the promised land of sea, sand and señ ors.
I’ll be home for Christmas and look forward to getting together with my chosen family over the coming days. There’s still plenty of time to get in the holiday spirit with concerts, performing arts,food and toy drives to make your heart feel good. We continue to provide the forums to keep you updated and informed with GayDesertGuide.LGBT and KGAY 106.5 Palm Springs. We have some wonderful Christmas Day programming for you next weekend.
Happy holidays from the entire team to you and yours!
