Community doesn’t stop when the music does.

We had the privilege of being joined by @councilmemberdenzel who stopped through with a reminder for our Close Frenz: that what we’re experiencing isn’t just individual, it’s systemic. And showing up for our community also means showing up at the polls.

We’ve read the DMs, heard your feedback, and had so many dope convos with you.

We’re forever appreciative of the support—and now, we’re proud to welcome you to the GATHRD. era.

Born in Detroit, GATHRD. is a platform celebrating the fullness of Black gay life: our culture, how we live, and the company we keep.

We realized we weren’t just gathering to party. We were gathering to belong.
