Federation's NEXTGen Detroit Pride celebrated its three-year anniversary in fabulous fashion with its Anniversary Gayla event on May 2, 2019. Hosted by local celebrity drag queen Sabin, the event was held at The Underground @ DIME Detroit and featured an improv comedy show by Go Comedy!, food, drinks and lots of laughs.
Attendees were treated to a photo booth with props that included cutout faces of famous LGBTQ celebs such as Ellen DeGeneres, Anderson Cooper and Laverne Cox. Henry Ford Health System co-sponsored the event and was in attendance to educate guests about medical services that they provide to the LGBTQ community.
Created in 2016 by NEXTGen Detroit board member, Sam Dubin, NEXTGen Detroit Pride serves as a space and community for young adult LGBTQ Jewish Detroiters ages 21-45. A sampling of events includes Shabbat dinners, story slams, Painting with a Twist, game nights and more.
