Big Gay Out
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faceparty's Big Gay Out is a United Kingdom live popular music event, dance party and fun fair organized by the profile and community website Faceparty for the LGBT community, in London. It has been held twice, in 2004 as part of London's Gay Pride, and again in 2005 separately from London Pride, both times in Finsbury Park. According to their website, there will be no Big Gay Out in 2006 due to the Europride celebrations, but a third event is planned for 2007.
A portion of the profits goes to charities including Stonewall.
