Rainbow Skate

In “The Queer History of Roller Skating,” Vice writer Lisa Lotens interviewed trans woman Jayliah Jada van Gorkum about why she felt roller skating attracted so many queer folks: “You see all kinds of people defying social norms in skates,” van Gorkum said. “It’s a very freeing hobby.” Austin Pride gets in on the free-wheeling with a night at Playland featuring tunes spun by DJ Chorizo Funk. While this ain’t their first roller rodeo, this is their Broken Hearts Club edition, so Austin Pride encourages all to “[share] the love and skate with a sweetie or just come and roll out with your friends.” See ya on the rink, lovers. – James Scott
