Since the Fall has officially kicked off, we're continuing our Queer Fall Calendars with the North East. Here's what's coming to the Philly/NYC/Boston region region!

If you're looking to do something fun and Queer this fall, but don't necessarily want to hit up the bars or party scenes, then I think I've got the perfect event for you. Next week, the New York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center will host the Queer Voices: New York City Film Festival. The film festival includes feature films, documentaries, short films, and episodics that highlight the diverse array of experiences of the Queer-BIPOC community. Get your tickets now!

Love drinking awesome beers? Love laughing so hard the beer comes out of your nose (gross)? Well, if you're in the Boston area at the end of September, then Fruits By the Foot is the place to be. The lineup of comics includes some of the best LGBTQ+ stand-ups Boston has to offer. Held at the Distraction Brewing Company in the Roslindale neighborhood, you can get tickets to the event here. And who knows? Maybe you meet some wicked hawt guy who takes you out behind the Dunkin' and glazes your donut a bit afterwards.

For the first time since the Pandemic, Philadelphia is once again hosting its annual Queer festival celebrating National Coming Out Day. With the return of the event also comes a re-branding and the artist-formerly-known-as "OutFest" is now known as OURFest, with OUR standing for "Our Uniting Resilience." Though National Coming Out Day is actually Wednesday, October 11th, the festival kicks off with the National Coming Out Parade on October 7th from 4 PM-6 PM. The two-day event continues with speaker events, food trucks, performances, activities, and bars packed with some of the sexiest people in the tri-state area.

If you're in NYC over Halloween and are looking for one of the absolute hottest parties on the Eastern seaboard, then Devil's Playground is the place to play. From Ty Sunderland, the event is hosted in the iconic Webster Hall, home to the legendary Drag Ball scene. There would be no RuPaul's Drag Race if Webster Hall hadn't helped pave the way for Queer people. And on Halloween Weekend it will be the place to be to see some of the most extravagant Halloween lewks you've ever seen, while also dancing your ass off to some of the best music out there. You can get tickets here!

That's a Gay Ass Podcast is one of the best podcasts out there. Hosted by Eric Williams, the show's official description asks the hard-hitting questions. Questions like, "Whose fault is it that you're gay?" and "If you're straight, why are you so obsessed with us?" And the live version of the podcast - That's A Gay Ass Live Show! - take it all to another level. The November 3rd performance at the Chelsea Music Hall will feature guests Bowen Yang (SNL, Dicks: The Musical), Jessica Vosk, Chris Murphy, StraightioLab, and surprise guests. The group all come together for a competition to declare the Champion of CharacterActress Knowledge (COCK). You can get tickets here!

Christopher Street Tours is the leader of the LGBTQ+ History tours of New York City. And their Saturday, November 27th walking tour will be no different! The two-hour tour will give you deeper looks into everything from the legendary Stonewall Inn, the Gay Liberation Monument, the NYC AIDS Memorial, the LGBT Community Center, and much more. This is the perfect way to round out the fall before you put more meat in your mouth than you know what to do with. I'm talking about Thanksgiving, you sluts. Jeez.
