The holiday season is legit upon us, and DFW isn’t short on a full festive month of events. This year, though, just feels a bit gayer than most. We got drag queens, musicals, chorales and even some burlesque all heading our way with that bit of extra dazzle.

Make a list of these queer events and check it twice to play your big gay holiday season.

Through Dec. 29: Camp Christmas
This fully immersive art installation brings everything you love about the holiday season to the Annette Strauss Square at the ATT Performing Arts Center.

Conceived by the fabulous Camp Director Lonnie Hanzon and his band of merry magic makers, this dreamscape will touch all your senses with its lighted displays, nostalgic sounds and scenes and cocktails and snacks at its Base Camp and Fairy Bar. ATTPAC.org.

You can go on your own or try one of its Drag Camp Christmas tours. Book a queen-led tour on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:45 p.m., 8:15 p.m. or 9 p.m. with Raquel Blake, Kylee O’Hara or Cassie Nova for a whole different type of experience. ATTPAC.org/event/Drag-Winter-Wonderland.

Dec. 2: Cassie’s Freakmas Onesie Party
This isn’t just any holiday party; it’s Cassie Nova’s annual Freakmas Onesie Party. And it’s going bigger and bawdier, all for a good cause.

The event supports the Personalized Learning Preparatory at Sam Houston Elementary Secret Santa Program, helping make the holidays brighter for local children in need.

JR.’s Bar and Grill will be transformed into a winter wonderland for the party, which starts at 9 p.m. and will feature seasonal cocktails, raffle prizes, live DJ, holiday photo booth and more.
Don your gay onesie apparel and get your holiday freak on.

A sweetly intimate bromance plays out in this progressive Canadian indie from 60 years ago
Welcome back to our queer film retrospective, “A Gay Old Time.” In this week’s column, as the New Year brings us right until the middle of winter, let’s revisit 1965’s seasonally appropriate gay indie, Winter Kept Us Warm.Happy 2025! To start the year off with the right intentions, this week we’ll take a look at an underrated, under-seen movie from across the northern border that—even though it’s never really gotten its due diligence—occupies a niche space in the queer film canon. It’s a film with a production and a legacy that perfectly reflect the scrappiness, ingenuity, and creative spirit that has characterized our community.As we’ve discussed in this column for almost two years now, making a queer movie has never been an easy task.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Particularly in the early and middle decades of the last century, a myriad of obstacles would prevent our stories from being told, both within the Hollywood system and the broader culture: strict moral codes that stopped any “controversial” characters or plotlines from being portrayed, narrative conventions that limited the kind of lives and stories that could be explored, and a heavily religious and homophobic society that wasn’t ready to welcome us into their movie screens.But if it was hard to get queer movies made (and seen) in the United States—within the giant Hollywood machinery backing the productions—it was much, much more difficult in other countries.

Robbie Williams on why he sued tabloid over gay rumors: “If you hate me, at least hate me for the right reasons”
I’m not disrespecting anybody or getting my handbag and going, ‘Heaven forbid that people think of this disgusting thing [about] me.’ I was maligned, belittled, disrespected, hated, followed, harangued, phone-tapped… People on the payroll being told to give rumors about me, tell them where I was, people who were in the credit card companies. And my only way of representing myself at the time was to do a book, and the book would say everything about who I was.
