We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.
Here come the grooms
There's more to Akbar than craft nights and Vegas-style events with names like "Gaybar Whore." In June, the bar's manager Jeffrey Wylie will put on his minister's hat, as it were, and begin officiating same-sex marriages inside the venue's DanceBar.
This Reverend Wylie—and who better to marry you than a man who lists his sexual preference on Akbar's website as "anywhere." You can reach him at akbarweddings@yahoo.com.
There's also the Abbey, if WeHo's more your speed. The courtyard hangout, known to play bumpin' remixes of the "Brokeback Mountain" theme song, has lent its space for gay weddings since 2004. (Margaret Cho hosted the first one.)
All this gay love comes just in time for L.A. Pride 2008 going, er, down June 6 through 8. Metromix is even getting in on the action with a pre-Pride party on June 4 at MJ's, an eastside bar that one-ups "Gaybar Whore" with parties called "Rim Job Tuesdays" and "Swallow." Gulp.
