🔎💫 MEET THE CAST. And trust absolutely no one.

The g**s are dressed. The secrets are spilling. The alibis are questionable. And somewhere between the glamour, the cocktails and the DRAMAAAAAAAA… somebody ends up dead.

Welcome to Murder Mystery at the Gay-la, our completely over-the-top, gender-bending, q***r whodunnit celebrating 20 YEARS of Space Coast Pride!

Meet our suspiciously fabulous cast of characters: Reginald. Ruby. Victor. Bea. Lady Emerald. Vivienne.

One of them may be a murderer.
Several of them are definitely lying.
And all of them have secrets.

And apparently y’all LOVE a little murder with your philanthropy because…

THE GAY-LA IS OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT!

Thank you to everyone joining us for this wildly q***r night of mystery, laughter, glamour and giving, all benefiting Space Coast Pride and helping us continue creating LGBTQIA+ community, connection and joy across the Space Coast.

Now the only question is…

WHODUNNIT?!

Secrets. Suspects. Pride.
And enough q***r drama to last another 20 years.

Welp, it’s that time of the year again when the tweedledees and tweedledums come out of their closet to rain on our parade. (They never miss a gay event 😉)

But we know the truth. Thousands of lgbtqia+ people and allies call the Space Coast home. And for twenty years we have worked tirelessly to create safe spaces and bring hope to our deserving community.

A community that perseveres in the face of adversity and continues to shine.

A community that thrives under pressure.

A community that continues to grow.

This year we are excited to embrace a new home at the Melbourne Auditorium where we can create a safe space and check the haters at door.

We hope you will join us and get involved. Volunteer. Donate. Show up.

And give our sponsors some love — they show up for pride when they could easily turn their backs. We are forever grateful for their support. Hotel MelbyHealthcare Unity GroupProject ResponseJotkoff & Associates CPALaunch Credit UnionBrevard CountyRez Pro Pineapple Healthcare
